We SURVIVED Week 3 of five 10-hour days!!!! Our bodies are adapting and our minds are shutting down and we are becoming Amazon-bots. It's not so bad.....
I haven't looked forward to 15 minute breaks and 30-hour lunch breaks so much since I started working at age 19!!
Certain faces we see every work day are becoming familiar. There's Richard, who leads the stretches, always chomping on his gum (or chew????) Alejandro, our favorite "water spider" (person who loads our stow carts). Rick, our manager who periodically wears an "eggshell" on his head (impersonting Howie Mandel). Our "class of 2013" camperforce co-workers - Ed, Carla, Chris, Maximus and many others.
These last few days I have been starting to enjoy certain aspects about stowing. Namely, SHOPPING. While many of the items I put away are not interesting to me, there are many that are. Today I stowed about 24 HUGE bottles of "Passion Lubricant"; these bottles were at least 24 ounces each with pumps. WHO USES THAT MUCH LUBE????? IS IT FOR ORGIES OR WHAT???????????? Hey, and THAT sort of item could be stowed right next to several copies of the ESV New Classic Reference Bible....whoa!
I must admit after reading how this company processes orders, it is fascinating ---supposedly it is the only company in the world that can pull an order of up to 30 items together from a 900,0000 square foot building/3 levels high and do it with 45 minutes of getting the order. FM!!!! It's a systems masterpiece.
So now we have two days off. MANDATORY overtime next week, so it's back to work on Tuesday, the start of Week 4.
