By the time this posts, we'll be almost done with our time working at Amazon. We finished our third week of 55+ hours and have only two shifts left. We finish at Amazon on the morning of the 23rd and we'll leave here on the 24th for our next adventure: First to Asheville, NC for a couple days and then on to Statesville.
I thought we'd do a little recap to describe our time here.
Please note, all numbers are approximations, but it's my blog and I'm tired so don't quibble.
450---the number of hours we've each worked over a span of about 8 weeks.
One pair each---shoes we've worn out.
$600---the amount of Am Ex gift cards we've earned by showing up and working all our overtime the last three weeks.
2---number of trips to the Donut Palace (so far).
2 each---free T-shirts from Amazon
3--boxes of band aids for blisters on our feet
15-20---pounds I've lost (I hope).
1---number of TV channels we get
2---bottles of Aleve
20+---number of raffle tickets we have in the drawing for the Beats headphones (drawing is the 20th, so stay tuned for results)
2---water bottles lost
10---loaves of bread for sandwiches
less than 5---times we've seen the sun
12---loaves of homemade banana bread, pumpkin bread and apple bread I've made. I bake during our nights off and it's good to take for our break time snacks.
And a partridge in a pear tree.
The numbers do give a good snapshot of how hard you've worked. That you've worn out a pair of shoes so fast is a like being a marathon runner. On to the next adventure! - Robin
ReplyDeleteI used to walk half marathons and walked 10-15 miles per week in training and wore out shoes faster at Amazon, so your marathon analogy is right on.
DeleteLove it!!! Banana, pumpkin and apple bread AND 15-20 lbs lost... Now THAT is awesome!!! Safe travels and Happy Festivus!! :)

Thanks. Now I can't help wondering how much I might have lost if I'd laid off the banana bread and assorted Little Debbie's. Ah well. I'll be glad for what I have (or don't have anymore).
DeleteHappy Festivus to you too!
And, for those who want to know...we did NOT win the Beats headphones. There must have been only one other ticket in there other than one of ours. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAw, your poor feet!! I know those headphones are yours!!
