The safety supplies were all boxed up and ready to be shipped to the customer. I got this easy job, about six months ago when the cleaning products company I used to work for closed its warehouse that was so close to my house. I could walk to the warehouse when I was working for the cleaning products company.

I was devastated when I learned that my job would be over at the end of the month, along with twenty other employees. We had not seen it coming and with the way the economy is, we all knew that we would be lucky to find a job at all, let alone one that paid as well and was really close to home.

My sister was the one who helped me get into the safety supplies company. She knew the owners and that they were looking to hire a few extra people to load orders in the warehouse. The safety supplies ware house is a little bit farther from my house, but I just take a ten minute bus ride and then I am there. They pay me exactly what I was making at the other company, so I have never been without a paycheck which is more than I can say for the other twenty workers from my old job.
