Making the Big Bucks

Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013

So today was an overtime day.  Not too bad since it was the first day of work after a two day break.  What do we do with our days off?  Oh, very exciting things like laundry, grocery shopping, surfing the internet for hours, watching movies, shopping in Reno, going to the Great Basin Brewery and eating Jalapeno Wontons…..the important thing is WE’RE NOT AT WORK!!!!

Today was just the usual….spending hours (10 to be exact) attempting to find locations in bins for hundreds of items.  I had a lot of dog chews and light bulbs to stow today.    Good thing it wasn’t dog jerky from China – we hear on the news tonight that the FDA is investigating the deaths of hundreds of dogs due to bad jerky!

Rick had a lot of black-wrapped sex toys; two of them came up as “high value” and had to be turned over to the problem solver.  Just imagine,  a super vibrator sitting next to a new Ipad in the high value lockup! 

Rick was bitching all day today about how he used to work his ass off avoiding overtime that paid him four times more than what he made today….I asked if he wanted some cheese with that “whine”.

Tonight we are watching Warren Buffett and his son and grandson interview on TV,  their book, “40 chances”, will probably be at our warehouse tomorrow!  Cases and cases….

 

There are a lot of additional work campers appearing now.  We heard that this year they’ve hired 300, instead of 200 campers.  I think it’s because they’ve wised up to how many quit after a week or so!
