RNO1 - Day 13 - Fast 50

Sleeping and working....yep, that's how it feels.....a little more each day....this part reminds me of our Campbellsville experience.  The great news is, and we did not realize this when we were given our stowing jobs......our 'Peak Season' is just about over, and 'Peak Season' for the pickers is just beginning.  In other words, these past few weeks we have been stuffing the bins all over RNO1 so the pickers can go nuts beginning this coming week as the orders begin arriving online.  We will still have stuff to stow, but it will not be as intense, and we will not have 5 day work weeks every week....probably only every other week.  The pickers, on the other hand, will be working 5 and 6 day weeks with the extra 1.5 hours thrown in for good measure between now and Christmas.

A few more Amazon acronyms for your reading pleasure:

TEHKO - Toys, Electronics, Home, Kitchen & Outdoor
HVA - High Value Area
PMV - Process Map Visual
FFP - Frustration-Free Packing

There is literally nothing to tell about the hours of Noon to 5 pm that I have not already written about before.....wakeup, pour coffee, type blog, sit in the recliner and stare into space, eat, get dressed, drive to work.....that's our 5 hours of non-work pleasure every day we work.....except around 4 pm the wind came up....first time we have had significant wind here since we arrived, and this wind was rocking the coach at 26-30 mph.....that was our excitement for the day.  Certainly not up to Cape Blanco standards, but interesting none the less.  There was a high wind alert issued by the National Weather Service that lasted until 4 am. 

Our MOT day (Mandatory OverTime) is Saturday, and Saturday was our first 5th day week.  In a nutshell, that was the fastest 50 hours at Amazon I ever experienced!  Saturday's are not that busy right now on the night shift, and we had the place pretty much to ourselves.....much quieter with half the regular number of people working.

The hours flew by, and before we knew it our first 50 hour work week was complete and we have off until 6 pm on Monday......my feet and eyes need the break!  By the time we exited RNO1 the winds had abated, and all we had to contend with was ice on the windshield, which was dispatched quickly using the spray I purchased at AutoZone a few weeks ago.....no ice scrapers for moi!

Thanks for stopping by!
