Express Employment Professionals

We had our hiring appointment yesterday at Express Pro in Independence, Kansas. This was the sign that greeted us when we arrived. Nice to see!
It didn't take long to do the little "picking capability" test - you are given a list of book and music titles and then they had photos of the items on the wall and you had to answer questions about them, like what edition is xxx book or who is the author of xxxx, or what format is xxx music. Being an old library worker I did pretty good....but I don't want to be a "picker" they walk 10 to 20 MILES per daily shift!!!! That's way too much for me. Last year I barely made the 5-7 miles I walk each night as a "stower" - putting items in bins.

Lesle and I subscribed to different local newspapers, drove around town to see what was new, opened, or closed. For those of you who worked here last year, like most small towns there wasn't much changed; pretty much the same. There is a new restaurant on the main drag called Phelps Hog Heaven.....barbeque, of course. Sunday we ate at The Stockade buffet which was pretty good - great salad bar.

There is a new super Walmart being built at the junction of Hwys 166 and 169 on the way to amazon.com The building is finished and they are working on completing the inside now. Suppose to be opened after the first of the year.

We lazed around the rest of the evening. Jim spent hours trying to get the Dish satellite to bring in both 110 and 119 satellites to no avail. He got 110 set so we can watch the three main networks, but 119 eludes him. One of the workampers told me that most of the folks are having problems setting up their satellites this year......wonder why? Guess we'll have to call for a technician to come help us out.

No plans for today - do some more scouting around, go to the library, etc. We do want to drive to Chanute to tour the NuWa plant - they make Hitchhiker rvs - we want to look at all the different models.

Remember - you are loved!
