I think I can finally see the light at the end of that tunnel!
Thanksgiving has come and gone and since then, I have been busy working, sleeping, and working….
The first Saturday after Thanksgiving, was voluntary overtime at work that I signed up for. But since then it has become mandatory overtime. We first started out with 12 hours shifts-5 days a week. Then this past week it went to 11-1/2 hours shifts and now the next week we go back to 12 hour shifts and yes, still five days a week.
So when I leave for work at 5:15am I see no sun, when I get home at 5:30 or 6:00pm-it’s once again-dark. I get two days off and if I’m lucky it’s a sunny bright day-as it is today.
We are now down to just two weeks left and peak season is really upon us here at Amazon.com. This past week in just one afternoon we got hit hard with orders that all had to be shipped out between 5pm & 5:30pm. We all worked hard and in some case we tagged teamed and rushed to meet the goal.
Amazon is expecting it to be a very, very busy week once again coming up-so plenty of rest is in order.
A few days ago, C-NBC news was here in Fernley reporting on the workcampers and temps that Amazon hires during this busy time of the year and yes, I got interviewed! here is are two links to that story:

Our poor little Leah sure didn’t know what to think of that huge camera in our rig and she just wouldn’t quiet growling! it was almost comical!
Anyways, that is the reason why I haven’t had much time to think about writing on the blog-just a few more weeks and then it’s on to another adventure for us!
