Sailing Through the Work Week

Yesterday was a very different day for us as far as work location within the warehouse. They had us working in the far end of the building for most of the first half of our shift. That area is closer to the front entrance - we use the rear entrance - and is, literally, about a quarter of a mile away from our break area. That meant that most of our 15 minute break in the AM was taken up by the walk to our break area closer to the rear entrance that we use. The same for our half hour lunch. We never know until we arrive for work which area we will be in as it depends on where they need stowing performed. Our area shifted to several other locations throughout the day and we finally ended up near our usual spot. Phew! We walked a lot more than usual. I am going to wear my Pedometer today to see how much walking we really do in a day.

I need to diagnose our water problem before we go to work today. Even without the pump, our water pressure is so small that the water just trickles out of the spigot. There must be a problem somewhere with blockage or with the hose. Our neighbors all get normal pressure so there is a problem for us somewhere along the line. Anyway, it takes extreme patience to take a shower.

We are looking forward to the end of today. Our decision to work the middle day of our days off (Wednesday) for overtime is weighing heavily on us. It would be nice to have the 3 days off, but the money at time-and-a-half is too much to ignore for us. The fact that we don't have another job lined up (yet) in Florida requires us to bank as much as possible for that leg of our adventure. We are confident that it will all work out. For now, it's day 4 of our work week - and Friday for us...
