Not Much Going On…November 20, 2011

 

     Just checking in…not much happening in Coffeyville, Kansas…we are still hanging in there at Amazon.com.  Only 5 more weeks to go…they are starting to bring on more and more people…ramping up for “peak”.  Pretty soon we will be running over each other…especially as we are pickers.  If we are picking in an area where other people are stowing product, we pretty much have the right of way.  After all, you great people placing those orders with Amazon.com don’t receive your product until we can get it picked and on the way to shipping…we have the power!

When we got off of work at 3:30 am on Saturday a group of us made our weekly trek to the doughnut shop…can’t go to a club for happy hour so it’s doughnuts for us.  We probably had about 14 or so this week…as I said, there’s not much going on right now.  Anyway, we got home about 5:00 and hit the sack for a couple of hours…well, I was up by 7:00 am but Bob slept on until early afternoon.  There was a craft show starting at 8:30 and some friends and I wanted to go early so we could then go home and get some serious sleep.  Unfortunately, Jean had come down with a sinus infection and just was not up to making the show but Deb Gray and I followed through and met at the show.  It was pretty small but it was nice just to have something to do.  Here we are with other friends, Dan and Rita, who were also there.

 

Deb and I decided to go on to Chetopa, Ok to see what was going on at the annual Pecan Festival.  Did not take long to make our way through the arts and crafts and then we were on our way back to Coffeyville.  So after a short nap  Bob and I drove to the small…I mean really small…I mean tiny, tiny community of Liberty to have beer and burgers at a local…er, establishment called Jack’s.  The real highlight is that they have a pool tournament on Saturday nights.  I do have to say it was a nice time with Deb and Paul and Barb and Bubby and the burgers are wonderful.

Weather has been cold today so we have done nothing but sleep and watch TV.  Back to work tomorrow evening…remember, only 5 more weeks to go.

Moving on.
