Getting On Our Feet

Well, we have had 2 days here at work. The first day was not much, just tours and safety training and some required paperwork. Today we had job training and a short time on the line working. We are on 5 hour days the rest of this week and probably next week too due to the current low volume of incoming shipments. But by the end of October, we can start to expect to be asked to work overtime. April will probably stay on 5 hour days until the 10 hour days are required. She is adjusting ok so far. I think it will be good once I get more time doing the receiving. Tomorrow we will be doing more. Today I just did a couple of items and the rest of the day I was helping a lady learn how to do it. I am ready to get going with it. The weather has worked out good too, finally. Last week upper 90's and one day 100, and now in the 70's. Much better, but cool for our morning walk to work, but better that being hot to start out the day. They put a sign-up for hay bales in the campground office today, so I guess I will have to figure that out. The campground is on a hill with little to block the wind. We got to see a couple of the other campgrounds that we could have ended up at and we are happy we are here. We will be walking or standing at our stations for the entire shift. It takes us about 10 minutes to walk through the plant-once we get in it- to get to the break room where our locker will be. And about 10 minutes or a little more to get into the building from our site. So we will be getting in our walking every day. It appears that there is not anything to really do here on our days off unless we drive an hour or so to get to a bigger city, such as Louisville, Lexington or Cave City areas-all about an hour or hour-and-a-half away. Not too far, but not close either. I will be ready to do something, especially with these short days and nice weather. This will be alot different than the last location.
