Changing Over to Day Shift

We heard back from the HR people last night and we are being changed over to the day shift the week of August 15. The actual day hasn't been determined yet, so we still need to wait on that. The other good news is that we don't have to go through the orientation and training sessions that the other incoming workampers have to attend. The welcome "meet and greet" meeting is an option for us if we would like to attend, which we probably will do. That meeting will give us a chance to meet the incoming workers - it should be scheduled for Monday the 15th. It will be interesting to hear our start day for the day shift since the 15th is on Monday, and that is our second day of work for the night shift that we currently work. We are anxious for the day shift so that our sleeping time can be regulated to coincide with our days off and we won't have to adjust each week. The only negatives for day shift are that any people returning that we worked with last year will still be on nights, and we are told that the day shift people have to work under the microscope of the "real" management that work days. It's good to make new friends, and the management shouldn't make any difference for us since we aren't looking for careers and we'll just continue to work as we do now.

I received another certificate and 2 coins for work performance over 100% last week. The percentage was 140% which topped the previous week's total of 138%. I feel bad that Josie hasn't gotten one yet as she works so hard every day. She's still very close, so it will come.

We're thinking that we will do the Thoroughbred Heritage Horse Farm Tour this Saturday and will purchase our tickets today for the 1 PM tour which lasts 3 hours. That will give us plenty of time to drive to Lexington and walk around a little before the tour starts. It should be an exciting day and something different for us.

Until tomorrow...
