More Skills updates

Was looking through old posts, found this one and realized I have accomplished a few more things!

I cannot:

* Operate the cryovac packaging machine
Finally had Jose teach me, I'm a pro now :)

* Operate the device that tests the CO2 to O2 concentration in the cryovac packages
yeah, still haven't done this one. But in my defense, the little thing has broken several times and there's a sticker that says "Do Not Touch" So umm.... I'm not touching, yeah, not touching :)

* Operate the strapper machine that puts the hard plastic straps around boxes to keep them closed
I can doooooooooooo it. But don't ask me to fix it if it gets jammed. On a related note, I can completely assemble and strap a tote bin myself with the big strapper.

* Drive one of the jacks loaded with a pallet
I'm still working on this, hehe. My legs and the pallet jack don't coordinate well. I'm working on moving them short distances at a time :) Getting more confident though. It's hard to drive one because I don't want anyone to watch me, and it's hard to find one alone without people nearby!

* Understand how in the world they figure out payroll!
Payroll is still pretty much a grey area......

* Fix the scale settings on the indexer bagging machine.
Mastered! It really was simpler than I made it out to be, the only hitch is that you have to slow down the belt, and I don't like climbing up on the line to do it, so I call maintenance :)

* Operate the lift on the bone trailer
We now have tote bin dumpers on our lines, and they work the same, so this is another mastered task :)


More things I've learned about that I can't do...... (and still have never tried)

* Run/Set up the sizer machine
* Run the marinator in coneline, or the slicer
* Drive the yard dog (the truck cab we use to move trailers around the lot with)
