Storm on the Way?

The talk at work was about the weather change that is forthcoming. Supposedly, we are getting about 2" of snow sometime today or tonight and the temperatures are going down into the low 20's or high teens. Right now it is overcast with occasional rain and the temperature is 40 degrees. Doesn't look like snow to me.

Our water problem persists as the water in the fresh water tank overflowed once again. I'm told by someone at work that the water pump has a check valve that isn't working properly that is causing that problem. This valve is designed to block the flow to the fresh water tank. Oh well, it looks like pump #4 is in order as soon as I can get a chance to contact Shur-flo and get the replacement process started. Of course, it is covered by warranty. We can't seem to get more than a couple months out of these pumps. I'm going to request a different model this time since this one obviously doesn't perform the way it should.

The 11 hour work days don't give us much time. We got home at almost 5 AM and went to bed by 6. After getting 7 hours sleep it is almost time to get ready for work again. Only 3 weeks of this and we can really relax. Christmas will have a special meaning this year if we can just make it till the 25th. By the way, I lost my pedometer sometime during the night while working. It has fallen off before with all the twisting and reaching we do at work but until now I was able to catch it when it fell off my belt. That was a real bummer.

There is a pizza party scheduled for both today and tomorrow at work and Amazon is bringing in pizzas for all the employees to enjoy on their lunch breaks. They continue to show appreciation to the employees for their hard work. We were told that 75,000 items were processed yesterday alone. What a change for a company that started with selling books out of a garage in Seattle in 1997. It just shows what can be accomplished if you have a vision and stay the course. That's it for now...
