Busiest Day So Far

A lot of the people that had signed up for the summer program arrived a day or two early, and some arrived Friday, but did not come into the office to register until yesterday. They all came in yesterday. Friday was a fairly sane day, but yesterday we had people standing in line and the line went to the door. I had gone around in the morning to all the sites that were physically here, but had not registered yet, and either asked the people to come into the office to register, or I placed a notice on their door to come in and register if they were not at their site. They not only had to register, but we had to place "stickers" on their vehicles and golf carts so that they could come in and out of the Resort through the security gate. The combination of all those tasks resulted in our working over 1 1/2 hours overtime. Without a manager present, we did pretty well handling the few problems that we had during the day. The "temp" manager isn't due until Monday - of course, after everybody has arrived and there are no problems left to solve. Josie and I are off on Monday and Tuesday, so maybe the manager will have everything under control by the time we come in again next Wednesday.

The contract from Grey's Point Camp arrived yesterday and it looks like everything is in order. We will execute that agreement and send it back today. They have us starting on May 9th, and have indicated that we could arrive as early as April 30th, and stay at no charge until we begin work. The season will end on September 18th which is a good time frame for us. The tentative plan now is to work in VA during the summer, go to Campbellsville (instead of Fernley, NV) to work at Amazon.com again until Christmas, and travel back to the West Coast from there. Of course, at that time of the year, we would take a beeline straight south from KY to hit some warm weather and travel along the southern route. We hope to stop in New Orleans sometime during that trip back to the West. Last year, we had a chance to stop at Patty's in IL before going on to KY, but this year it won't be possible which is a "downer" for us.

Today is our "Friday" and we are hoping that it is a quiet day. We would like to go somewhere special on our days off, so we'll see what happens...
