5 O'Clock Somewhere

There's just something about having to get up at 4:30 am in the morning that starts one thinking about the meaning of life after retirement.....

Week 5 started out by having to report at 6 am and on Tuesday, an overtime day.  Mandatory overtime.  So we grudgingly dragged ourselves out of bed to face the frosty cold of the northern Nevada desert.  Then after about 3 hours at work we heard rumors that several shipments got cancelled for the day so they were letting people go home if they wanted to.  Hey, we wanted to!  So we did.

The sad thing is once we got home we didn't know what to do with ourselves!!!  It was cold outside, there's nothing much to do in Fernley, didn't feel like driving to Reno, no friends to hang with.  Sad, sad.  So we started thinking about 5 o'clock somewhere.....somewhere warm like the Caribbean, New Zealand, Arizona....

Week 5, day 2 we again forced our cold, stiffened bodies to report to the house of conveyor-clanking white noise and concrete floors for another 10 hours of mindless labor.  However, again being short on shipments that day, they were letting people go home or reassigning them to different tasks.  Remembering the day before, we didn't go home as there was nothing to do there.  I got reassigned to "ICQA", a quality-assurance task.  My task for the day, the entire 10 hours mind you, was to count the number of items in bins.  Just that - pull everything out, and count how many widgets/lipsticks/dildos/USB cables/shampoo bottles/you name its that were total in that bin.  Punch the number into my handheld computer and have it tell me "good" or to count again.  After the second count, if it didn't like the total, it said "defective" and I went on to count the next bin.

So after 10 hours of that, guess what I dreamed of all night!!!  You think counting would put you to sleep, but let me tell you, obsessive counting is a NIGHTMARE!!!

So the next morning we again forced our tired, cold, aching stiff bodies out of bed at 4:30 am, had coffee and tea, looked at each other and said, "Let's pack the RV up and go south", NOW!.

So we did!  And by Friday afternoon, 5 o'clock somewhere was in Quartzsite - blue skies, bright sun, fun friendly people,  and 84 degrees!!!

Hello Arizona, good bye Amazon.com!

HARDENED!

End of Week 4.  I guess we are HARDENED because we actually got off work (50 hour week) and are not so tired that we are in bed by 7:30 pm.    It's 9:30 pm, we just finished watching a movie and are still WIDE AWAKE!!   Whoa, what animals!
