Our third full week of work here at Amazon.com came quietly to a close at 3:30 AM this morning. Another workamper showed up yesterday to begin working and it was somebody we knew - casually - from last year. We didn't get to talk to her much since she was being shadowed all night by one of the trainers to get her up to speed again on the use of the scanner and the procedures for stowing. There are different comments being made about the excessive heat in the warehouse and how it will affect our hours. Some say that the overtime will be eliminated because of the heat but we were able to sign up for next Thursday without a problem. There's no question that the heat inside the warehouse is extreme and we're surprised that there haven't been any - that we are aware of - incidents as a result. All we know is that we are both drenched after work each night.
There are a couple things on our agenda today that need to be done before we head out for Louisville tomorrow. The laundry needs to get done and the Jeep needs to be serviced. We have been diligent about getting the Jeep serviced every 3500 to 4000 miles since we purchased it and feel that that is one reason why we haven't had any major problems with it. Knock on wood. We are excited about our weekend trip and hope that it goes as planned. The weather will most likely remain as it is - hot and humid with hazy skies.
There isn't much else to report, so we'll end the post for today and get started with our chores...
