We are done!

We finished our job today at Amazon.com! hip hip hurray!!!!

We decided the other day to end our days of working a couple of days early so we could spend some extra time with the kids and grandkids...... can't wait to see them all.

We have been stowing items the past couple of days but this afternoon we were sent to Outbound shipping singles. Which means that we were at a table and had a tote in front of us which held items that were sold. We had to box each item singley and take them to a conveyor belt so the gal could check them in and then send them to another area to be opened up (we only folded the tops in) and then they would fill them with "dunnage"...air bags I call them.... and then on out the door I assume. It was hot and so noisy back there because of all the conveyors and machinery going on. What an afternoon for a final one! They ran out of product to stow this am so everyone was scrambling to find something to do or be told where we were needed. That is what Amazon does.... you finish a job then you are told to go to another area to do a job....sometimes several times per day....it seemed we were chasing each other to an area..... OH well....we are done and we are both very relieved and glad it is over.

We met about 11 of us tonite for dinner at a Mexican restaurant this evening for our "final" dinner together. A group of us had gotten pretty close this season and it was kind of sad to see them go. At break or lunch there was always 6-7 of us eating together. We hope to see them sometime down the road.

So tomorrow morning, we will pack up and head north to Topeka for a few days of family...I'm ready and I hope the week doesn't go fast...but I know it will.

Until next time!
