It's over for the night shift. Last night was our final scheduled day on the night shift and it was a half shift of overtime. Both of us felt like we could have gone the whole 10 hours as we were not exhausted or dripping wet from sweat when we left work at 10 PM. The cooler days are having an affect inside the warehouse and it seems to be easier to work with the lower temps. Our manager was sorry to see us leave his shift but happy we weren't leaving the company. Our next scheduled work day will be Sunday at 6 AM, so that gives us only today and tomorrow to relax. The good news is that we get Tuesday through Thursday off during the week before starting the full day shift schedule next Friday.
Our view of the Amazon building is not yet blocked, but there were many new rigs that arrived over the last couple days. It seems that folks that were here last year have arrived together and are lined up near the entrance. There are 8 or 9 rigs together in adjacent spaces, so I guess the party is about to begin. They are near a huge meeting room that was built since last year and is a great place to have the welcome social and will most likely be used to have potlucks and other gatherings during the peak season. It also contains new showers and a new laundry room, so it will be the center of activity all season long. We're kind of glad that we are away from that area in the campground as it is sure to be noisy. There will be people arriving on a regular basis from now until probably late October as Amazon will be having new workamper "classes" almost weekly until then. It promises to be an interesting ride from here on out.
We don't have any definite plans yet for the 2 days we are off from work. The Horse Park will probably be the goal for tomorrow, but we're not quite sure yet. We will enjoy the cooler weather somehow, that's for sure...
