Very Stormy Day

We had everything put away yesterday just in time for the big storm. The temperature dropped from 93 to 74 in just 1/2 hour from 12 noon to 12:30 PM. There were thunderstorms coming in from both the west and north and it looked like prime tornado skies when they merged. The wind went to 25 MPH and it was a little scary there for awhile. The thunderstorms went on for most of the night as we could hear the thunder outside even with all the noise in the warehouse.

It is becoming easier and easier on our bodies with each day. We get up in the mornings (actually around mid day) with very little aches and pains, but we are still very tired at the end of our shift. The big thing that we look forward to is taking off our wet (from sweat) clothes and jumping in the shower. There isn't much else that we do except get ready for bed. The positive result from this hard work is that we lose weight and our muscles will be toned. Of course, we would much rather tone our muscles at a fitness center somewhere. The big difference is that you don't get paid while working out at a fitness center.

Day number 4 (and the Friday) of our work week is today. There is an all hands meeting scheduled at 5:30 so our starting time is moved to 5:30 for this one day. They feel that not much can be accomplished in the half hour between the normal start time (5 PM) and the start of the meeting. Hmm. It makes you wonder why they couldn't schedule the meeting at 5 PM. We were informed that we could leave at our regular time after work - 3:30 AM - or work an extra 1/2 hour to make up for the late start. We aren't sure right now if we will stay or leave at our regular time. So far, the skies are partly cloudy, and the temperature is 84 at 12:45 PM, so it's a calm start to the day. That's it for now...
