Mobile Tech Scheduled for Refrigerator

One of the first things we did following work yesterday was to contact the mobile tech to schedule a time for him to come out and fix our refrigerator leak. We have been placing a towel on the floor in the area where the water is coming in and it's totally wet after about 12 hours. Whatever the problem is, it isn't an obvious one to us. When I remove the back panel outside from the refrigerator, there is no apparent source for the leak. The tech will be here on Wednesday at noon since that is the first day we know for sure we won't be working. Which brings me to the other piece of business we've been trying to take of - getting the truck serviced for the Customer Satisfaction Program. I still have not heard back from that dealer about the appointment I tried to schedule for Wednesday, so I assume they don't want to be bothered for this "free" work. We'll just try to get it done at another dealer that is not quite as close as this dealer. The notice I received from Ford indicated that I had until March of next year to get it done, so there is no rush for that.

The weekends are very different at work as far as the number of people working. Yesterday seemed like a holiday as there were probably half the number of workers as there were on Friday. I'm sure that the regular workers try to have off on the weekends. That's fine with us, as the work goes smoother without the crowd. Not only that, but they announced that anybody that wanted to leave early yesterday - at 2 PM - could do so without any "points" being charged for early departure. Amazon uses a point system for employees that violate rules or policies and if one accumulates 5 points in a 30 day period, they are terminated. Early (unexcused) departure from scheduled work time usually results in a point being charged against the employee. All of the incoming trucks (merchandise deliveries) had been processed so there wasn't enough work to keep everybody busy. That was a first for us. Of course, we opted to stay.

Day 3 of our work week begins an hour from now. We signed up for a half day of OT for Tuesday which means we will go in at the regular time (6 AM) and leave at 11 AM. That works fine for us, and will probably become a regular occurrence. It is much easier working a half day extra each week than a full day as that 5th day is always a long one. That still leaves 2 1/2 days to enjoy free time. Until tomorrow...
