Last day of work

Here we all are on our last day of work at amazon.com for the season. Many of us wore Hawaiian shirts to signify that we were on our way to warmer climates.

We all worked the day and were gathered at 3 p.m. for our “goodbye celebration” in the conference room. All the head honchos including the General Manager thanked us for all our hard work and dedication.  During this Peak season many, many long standing records were broken including the most items receive and stowed in a day and most items shipped in a day.  Attendance percentages jumped dramatically this year---workampers average attendance was 98% and it seemed to rub off on the regular amazonians as their overall attendance increased also….we won’t talk about Staff Management personnel….UGH….you can only imagine!

Here is a picture of the Receiving Department.

Then as we were “badging” out the door, here was Karen, the Area Manager for Receiving, and Jimmie, her Process Assistant, waiting for us with signs…..South Padre or Bust….just too funny.Karen n Jimmy

I gave out a huge SCREAMING “whooppie when I walked out the door.  It’s been a good season for us; much less tiring than previous seasons in Coffeyville; bodies are not hurting as much as previous years.  If we commit to come back next year by January 31 we get our pick of work shifts, so we’ll send in the form. We already put in our reservations for next year at Indian Ridge.  But like everything else in fulltime RVing world, all plans are set in Jello…things can change.

Remember, you are loved.
