ok this week was my long week on. thurs-sat then mon-wed. i still have to go back tomorrow. anyways i hate AAA with a passion. the jobs are always on large sheets (28 x40) and lots of paper. only half the job there. your looking at 25,000 sheets.so we do that on sat and finished it on mon. only to have to start this!! yeah i know!! wow. first pass is right off the skids 13 of them.so we get started and the night crew takes over. so i had 5 loads turned over; about 40,000. the night guy was suppose to turn what i had left.around 4 more loads all the while running the rest of the job. so i come in at 4:30 and he turned 1 load all night!! 8,000 sheets!!. i could have killed him. so i turned 92,000 out of the 100,000 we ran and he came in and was all happy he didnt have to turn paper for a while. so i layed into him for a good 5 min about the importance of helping the other crew out. man he was lost.he's an idiot anyways. oh so after i finished i felt all buff and stuff and took a pic. lol. anyways thought i'd share.
heres a job we did last year. one of my favs. next to the buc's cheerleaders calender.sorry none of those left to take a pic of
YouTube - me working ok like this. only i flip the sheet to print the other side. oh and i pick up more than 100 sheets at a time.depending on weight. he's not lifting much.
looks like hard work pedro... How does your back feel after doing all that? man, i got a bad back, I don't think i could do work like that all day. Hats off to you...
my back is fine. its my hands and feet that hurt after all that standing and gripping. the upside is i have a grip like a clamp. lol. it helps when i have my power lift to help get the paper to around stomach level.(basicly a batt powered hydraulic lift) when im turning i also dont just bend over i squat and keep my back straight.
another update. i came in to work this morn at 4:30 and was expecting to have a load of paper ready to run. not the case! i only had to open a few boxes,but the point is.....is that last night they barley ran anything and it was all ready to run for the guy. no throwing for him at all! he could at least have had the paper at the jogging station instead i had to look for it in the warehouse. at least we had an easy day all we had was 1 color work and the paper wasnt heavy at all.
Interesting, i'm kind of in the same field but on the designing side. What programs do you use to input the colors into the printers. Adobe Illustrator or AutoCad?
