Lots of Extra People

It became very obvious yesterday that many workampers have arrived and are working different jobs. We always start the day in the break room before leaving to go to the short meeting in our work areas prior to beginning work and the break area was nearly full with all the new people. It really became obvious when the short meeting started and lots more people were standing around in the meeting than we've seen since we arrived. This is only the beginning of the workamper influx at Amazon. Work became more difficult as a result since there were more people stowing than before and that means more people trying to locate empty merchandise bins and filling them faster. The workforce numbers will only increase from this point until about October when everybody is here that will work the busy season. Of course, some of these people will disappear as they discover how tough the work is and how physically demanding it is to work the 10 hours each day. I'm sure that Amazon has worked a certain amount of attrition into the numbers.

There is a leak somewhere in our refrigerator that is causing water to come out on the floor of our kitchen. We've had this situation occur before, but since we moved to this new site, it has become more noticeable. Maybe because we are totally level now whereas before we were slightly off so that the water probably leaked into another location. I haven't been able to locate where the problem is, so that means that we will have to call out an expensive mobile tech to locate and fix the problem. It needs to be done soon to prevent any permanent water damage to the sub floor in our rig. It's always something. We have been pretty fortunate with not having many major problems with the rig in more than 3 years so we are probably due. I just hope that we can find a good local tech. The office here at the campground has given us a card for one that was used frequently by the people that stayed here last year, so we'll give him a try.

It's time to get ready for day 2 of our work week, so I'll close for now...
