Once again I have gotten behind on my blog writing….I guess coming home from 10 hour work days; I’m just too beat to think about getting on the computer. On my days off I just want to kick back and relax, spend time with Brian and Leah-so again the computer usually gets pushed back on the back burner. Then before you know it-another week has flew by-again.
Brian and I about a month ago got eye exam and ordered new glasses. With his being specially made-it takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks to make. Upon making his and putting the lens in the frame-the lens broke and there for causing another delay in receiving our glasses. I finally went to pick mine up just to discover that the gal measured wrong and my bi-focal placed wrong! Now mine have to go back to the lab to be redone and now Brian’s are finally finish. This means another trip or maybe more back to Sparks/Reno area.
We have taken short drives around the area. A couple of weeks ago we took a Saturday drive to both Lahontan Lake and Pyramid Lake. Now as for Lahontan Lake, well…let’s just say thank goodness we no longer own our canoe and took it there! The lake no longer has any water in it what-so-ever!! Here are some pics of the place:
It does still have a very nice and spacious campground that if we ever come into this area early again-we could stay at. Just too bad there is no lake anymore though….
So then we went on towards Pyramid Lake which is on the Piute Indian Reservation. Now there was still plenty of water in this lake that we saw many out fishing and folks camping along the shoreline. Here are some photos of Pyramid Lake:
Along the way to Pyramid we followed the Truckee River which flows into the Pyramid Lake and found some spectacular views:
After exploring we found an area to where we could get out and walk a spell. again we were along the Truckee River and found the trees starting to turn colors here:
We learned where the wild horses hide out and got some good photos of them roaming free here in Nevada:
recently the BLM had a round-up; catching about 3500 wild horses. They had an auction and sold all but a few hundred that are still pinned up and not sure what they will do with them. Even though it sounds cruel with this round-up, if you could see how scarce the vegetation is around here and water source-I do understand why they do this round-up. Out of all only a couple had to be put down due to a sickness.
The past few weeks have been uneventful at work-until this week….I am in outbound/shipping. Meaning that I basically package single items to go out to customers. This past week I got the pleasure to go upstairs to Crips Plant. I’m basically doing the same thing-except I’m filling boxes with multiple items for customers. For the most it’s not much different than single shipping. But occasionally it becomes like a Tetris game; trying to get items to fit properly into the box.
As proud as I am being a camperforce for Amazon.com, it also makes me sad to see other camperforce folks coming into the plant and acting almost like children! They don’t want to follow the rules that the leaders have us follow-almost making up their own rules-and making it difficult for us that do follow the rules.
I was involved in a bad situation this past week with another camperforce and due to the fact of the nature and being under investigation-I cannot go into anymore details…other than I pray it don’t happen again and proper actions will be taken. I wasn’t hurt in any manner-just bullied and intimidated….
Other than all that “stuff”, work has been good and soon we will be gearing up for “Peak” and I’m hoping for plenty of overtime in outbound.
