We are officially now back in the working world. We’ve completed our first (short) working day
at Amazon Fullfillment Center in Murfreesboro TN. Here, they start everyone off with 4 short
days, starting with paperwork and standardized videos to cover company
policies. Tomorrow we will undergo
safety training, and begin learning what process we will be doing (packing,
picking, stowing, or ???). The 10-hour
days start next week.
This warehouse is only two years old, and is much larger
than the one we were at in Nevada last year.
There were more than 20 people who started today, and we were among the
youngest. Many of them have worked at
other Amazon facilities in the past.
The campground they provided for us is a little old and
quite crowded, but at least it is quiet.
The most noise we hear is the acorns falling on our roof.
We arrived here on Sunday afternoon and our friends, Dave
and Nancy, had us over for dinner. It
was so great to see them and catch up on all the news as we haven’t seen them
since last spring. It was total
coincidence that we both ended up here at Amazon. We’re glad that they are also in the same
campground. It’s nice to have them to
commiserate with!
We’re also anxious to see Jamie and family this
weekend. We will get to see the new
baby, Kyla, who already is growing up fast.
Shay has her last skating lesson on Saturday and we’re planning to watch
that.
We hope that we can last through this second stint at
Amazon. We know that it’s grueling but
the extra money sure is nice!
