The New Warehouse

Day 1 on the job, first day at the new warehouse. Everything is still in boxes labeled innocuously, like ir6001 or co126. Only one box isn't closed on top, and it's brimming with huge green vibrators with a bright yellow pineapple stuck on the base. Oh, lord.

Last weekend I moved back to the town where I grew up, from the town where I went to college. This weekend I started work for my roommate's sister and her husband. Selling dongs on the internet.  



Welcome to The Dong Diaries.

Friday and Saturday has been spent by other muscle moving boxes of product, disassembled shelves, and other such things into the new warehouse. It's massive and a bit twisty, leading from room to room. This is my first time meeting my new bosses and the other various helpers on this moving project, but I jump right in to help.

It's a sweaty, un-airconditioned day building shelves and getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. Near the end of the day, we manage to have nearly all the shelves together and start stocking. Kind of. It's an internet business, you see, so nothing ships out on the weekend but that doesn't mean orders aren't coming in. Tomorrow is Monday, and we've got to be ready to pack and ship. People need their sex toys!

The last few hours of an extremely long day are spent building penis pump kits using individual bulk pieces (tubing, cylinders, etc). I begin to wonder, for who knows what time today, what I have gotten myself into.
