More and More New Stuff to Learn

The amount of new information and new tasks keeps flowing to us at a phenominal rate. It's a wonder that there is time for potty breaks during the work day with all of the work that needs to get done each day. Our managers are leaving today to go to OK to visit Charlie's mother who has cancer, and they are trying to bring us up to speed as quickly as possible. The schedule has them leaving around noon today which will leave just the other couple and us to finish the day. Josie and I are off work at 3 PM today and will not return to work until Sunday at 7 AM.

When Sunday rolls around, it will be just the 2 of us for the first 2 days next week. It is a lot of responsibility to be the only managers on duty for 2 days, especially after having only been here for 1 week. Terri and Charlie have done everything they can to prepare us for next week, so this morning will be a wrap up of last minute items to remember.

Working with the other couple has been an experience in itself. They are definitely short timers here as they don't seem to want to get involved in much of what we are doing. They will be moving on to another assignment in a couple weeks so it doesn't matter, I guess. They seem nice enough but are not going out of their way to be sociable. They don't even wear their name badges which we don't understand. We just mind our own business and do what we are asked to do.

We're looking forward to the time off so that we can settle in some more at the apartment. When we work such long hours during the day, we haven't felt much like working around the apartment. We still need to get some things from the fifth wheel, so our days off will be pretty much filled with these final set up duties.

It's off to work for our final day this week...
