The work week is over!

Man, I am having a hard time getting used to rising at 3:30am. I need to be up for an hour before getting behind the wheel of the car for the long drive in because there are lots of places to go off the road and down a steeeeep embankment if I don't pay attention.

The moon and stars have been keeping me company on the drive in this week. Also my Zune. And a cup of coffee. Yeah coffee! I am getting to know where things are along the way, like some gas stations and a grocery store. I am trying very hard to learn the layout of the land and remember what roads are where. Not easy for me. It will come, but I will never be as good as Dad with this stuff.

Unloading the truck at work is a weird experience. It backs down a chute so the door is level with the unloading dock. This means the floor of the truck is slanted. Merchandise tips and falls much easier when encouraged by a sloping floor. Also, we unload the truck outside. There is a roof over us, but we are not enclosed in. So rain and wind will make this job pretty miserable. Right now it is just cold. I miss Issaquah, where the truck backed up to a receiving door that opened into a warehouse. Walls and a roof make for a warming unloading experience. It also backed in level, so it was easier to avoid things falling on you. It is very annoying to have boxes fall at your head, and then chase you down the truck's interior.
