The announcement was made yesterday at work that from now until December 23, there would be mandatory overtime for the workers. They added 1 hour to each day which makes it 11 hour days, 4 days a week. Most people are adding an extra day to make it a 55 hour work week. Not only that, the company has indicated that anybody can work up to 60 hours in a week, if they choose. The only restriction is that you can't work more than 6 consecutive days. Amazon makes all the overtime hours optional for the workampers. We like the flexibility to work extra hours, but we're not crazy.
I thought I had the water problem fixed before we went to work. There was a "stopper" that wasn't performing right in the hose at the connection, so I removed it. It not only allowed more pressure but suddenly the water pump began working again. The problem isn't fixed though since we couldn't shut off the water pump - even with the switch turned off - and today we are back to no pressure - and no water pump. It is raining cats and dogs outside - 1.40" in the last 12 hours - so I won't be going outside to work on it any time soon.
The forecast is for the rain to stop sometime early this afternoon and turn cold once again. There are even snow possibilities in the long term forecast with lows in the mid 20's. I hope they are wrong. Snow is a bad word around here. In the meantime, we will just hang out and enjoy our day off before going back at 5 PM tomorrow for our "voluntary" overtime day. Until tomorrow...
