year one.. done

i completed one year at work over a week ago.. but things have been so hectic i barely noticed it. there are times when there's so much shit happening it feels like i've been here for years and years, and then there are the times when the one year feels like just over a week because there's so much to learn about all aspects of the bottling industry

finishing the last quarter of the year filling in my boss' shoes was like a chaser after the shot.. getting thrown headfirst into the workings of the plant was pretty insane, and then with the promotion thrust upon me, it became the mountain the molehill only purported to be

so pour out a glass of Pepsi, or Aquafina, Mountain Dew, Tropicana, Sierra Mist, Ginger Ale, Lipton Tea or any one of the numerous drinks we make, do feel free to spike it with any alcoholic substance as well.. and join me in a toast -

“Here’s to long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A good year — and another one!”
