Sunday, I made a big lunch of chicken and noodles. We had our Meet and Greet Social at the Amazon plant from 2-4PM. It only took us about 7 minutes to get there! Our schedule will be Shift 1- days----YEA !!!! Sunday to Wednesday with Thursday's being our "overtime" day. We were to only work 1/2 days this week and then beginning next Sunday we would go our full 40 hours. We both were relieved that we would be working days as we decided we would rather be on days than nights. Later we ran into Coffeyville for Braum's ice cream! WE LOVE Braum's ice cream! That is one good thing about Coffeyville....
Our day Monday was a long one--we were there from 10:30 to 6PM listening and listening to their" safety speil" that they have to do. We also had a couple of small tours of the area's where we were to work. At that point, Bill and I hadn't decided what area we were going to work. We had a choice of receiving or stowing which we did both last year. I decided to go back to receiving and Bill went to stowing..... When we left the plant the other night we decided to go into town and eat.... one of the Mexican places in town called "El Pueblito" built a new restaurant on the north edge of town... a very nice place and excellent food!
We began Tuesday at 6 AM so I set the alarm for 4 AM but during the evening the elec. went off during a rain storm so it offset the alarm.... it went off at midnight and I never really did go back to sleep afraid we would not be up and around at 4..... but we got up and around and started our day.....
The park was muddy but at that time of day ...who could see???????
We both had our "school's" of training in the morning and then went to our area's..... we only worked until noon yesterday. It seemed all that we did last year came back to me pretty fast...almost as if I hadn't left! Bill said stowing was about the same but they had changed some things in receiving and stowing. The rest of the day we rested and did some laundry around here.
This morning was a small part of training and then we went to our places where we will work... we worked the rest of the time there....we are only working half days this week and was to work Thursday but we were told we didn't have to come in tomorrow or Sunday but to come back on Monday!!!! yea we have a 4 day weekend but no work for 2 days! Going to be a short check in a couple of weeks! We were to have short days this week to "harden" our bodies for standing and doing things we were not used to be doing.
We have been told several others got sent home almost every day this week.... just early yet...people not thinking of Christmas yet and not ordering....
So we get to sleep in tomorrow and then we are heading to my sister's in OKC for a few days .... it will be great as my other brother's and sister will be there!
I'm going to post some pictures of Big Chief RV park and our site..... it is a new park and will be nice when they get the grass growing and things worked out..... they have plans for trees and some more landscaping..... stay tuned!
It is quiet here and we really do not hear the traffic from the highway...which is good.....
So until next time!
