The mood at work was one of relief as the grueling schedule winds down. Some folks have already left since their shift schedules ended over the weekend but most of us are here for one last day today. While in the break room getting ready to go to work, we took some group pictures to kind of remind us all who participated in our "class" of 2010. The best of the shots is below:
The neat thing about our group is the varied backgrounds of all the people. There are career military, consultants, ministers, business owners, masons, secretary's and just about everything else you can imagine. We all have the time at Amazon.com in common this year. Some are planning to return next year, others are saying "no way" to the very physical assignments. We will probably return but are trying to switch to one of their other facilities - either in Fernley, NV or Phoenix, AZ. The center in Phoenix is staffed mostly with local workers and is very difficult to get as an assignment but the weather there during this time of the year is a lot more predictable and desireable.
Hank next door has to work one more day than we do but he is planning to leave early Wednesday AM. We are thinking that we will leave in the early afternoon on Wednesday and drive about half way to Chattanooga in order to shorten that trip.
The final day is today which is a happy occasion, but a little sad too. We have made some very good friendships while here and plan to stay in touch via email with many of them. That is one of the benefits we have discovered while on this journey. The friendships will endure no matter where we are or what we do.
It's off to another chapter after our final day today...
