RNO1 - Day 25 - Four

I like even numbers.....they are so symmetrical, and my mind is always looking for the symmetrical in life and my surroundings.  So, seeing that there are only four work days left until we roll makes me smile.....in fact it goes further.....we only have to scan our badges 24 more times.....12 more breaks with our friends.....Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday......yep that's what I call symmetrical!

The forecast rain has not materialized this past week, but the 'guessers' are predicting it for this coming Friday with  a chance of snow, but the all important weather forecast for Saturday, the day we depart, is partly cloudy.  I remember our departure day two years ago in Campbellsville, KY was in a snow storm, which we drove in for about 6 hours until we finally descended off the plateau near Chattanooga, TN.....there is no way I want to do that again.  By Sunday afternoon we plan to be sitting on the beach in Ventura watching the sun set.

Friday mirrored pretty much our other work days......the time flew by quickly, and it was once again time to fire up the Beetle for another round trip to Fernley.  Once again TLE was assigned to 'Tranship', and I to 'Utah', 9-TS (3rd floor).  I guess I should appreciate that, because it doesn't get more symmetrical than that, huh?

Unlike our time working as 'Pickers' in Campbellsville when I was ready to be done with a month to go, this time I don't have those strong feelings.  I'm glad we are almost done, but I'm feeling that bittersweet feeling I usually get when it is time to say our 'until next times' to friends and family.  We came in with the intent not to volunteer for any extra hours, or days, and just to the MOT (Mandatory OverTime) as required.....we only had one MOT week and even got some VTO (Voluntary Time Off), so that worked out perfectly.  My body clock has finally switched over after 6 weeks, and I am sleeping until 2 pm after work days, just as I did today.

It's a shame they are closing RNO1, because if there weren't we would certainly be inclined to return again for another 'Peak Season', but that is not to be.  Our plans for 2015 are starting to come together, and we are getting excited.

Thanks for stopping by!
