Thoughts on new general joinery job

[Jameshow]

Just started a general joinery job which:-

It's quite varied I don't know what I'll be doing each week. (I'm just doing 2 days)

It's slot of batch work.

It's very dusty it's in a barn and the dx isn't great tbh. I'll get a mask for Thursday.

Also noisy with DX and table saw.

It's very relaxed make a cuppa when you like, fire going in the corner.

Flex time. And good job security most have been there 20+yes.

Good for you !
A relaxed environment is nice.
Noise sneaks up on you so as an when you can, look at those 3m peltor ear protectors that have a microphone and bluetooth or a radio built in. They'll take care of your hearing and still leave you aware of what's going on around you. They aren't cheap but hearing is important and I was persuaded after chatting to a 3m rep at one of the toolfair shows. There are lots of versions.

Sounds like a good move James, might be worth casually looking to see if any hoses are leaking or dropped off but you might not make friends being over zealous as a new guy.
