Looking at the End of This Week

Now that we are facing our overtime day, we are questioning the decision to work the extra day this week. We are not that sore, but very tired from the extreme heat that we always have inside the warehouse. It sure is nice to come home and shower after work each day. We never wake up at all during the "night" and it always seems like we just went to bed when it's time to get up.

There was finally a glimmer of some positive feedback at work. I received a letter and 2 gold coins to use in the company vending machines for completing last week at 138 % performance. Wow. At least they are still providing some small incentive. Supposedly, everybody that finishes a week over 100% gets this token of appreciation. Josie is very close, and will probably get one in the coming weeks. It is still very different from peak season where there are daily rewards and gift cards handed out for good performance.

Our plans for the time off this weekend are taking shape. Nothing spectacular, but we will go to Elizabethtown on Saturday and go to the Sams Club there to get a few items and also take in an attraction or two while there. That is where the Lincoln connection to Kentucky is located - we have already seen those - and used to be the home of the largest Coca-Cola Museum in the country. They have closed the museum and are selling all of the contents - approximately 80,000 items valued at $10 million over the next couple years. We don't think that will be on the agenda. We'll see what else we can do that would be interesting. In the meantime, the countdown begins for the final day of work this week...
