Record Number of Hours

I just wanted to check in and let anyone reading know that I am still alive and kickin. Today was defiitely hard to get through. Falling alseep here and there and taking every break I had to sleep on a tote. We did get off early and I will be getting close to 10 hours tonight so I will go do that right after this.

Anyways I just checked the time clock for this pay period that just ended (last 2 weeks) and I pulled in approximately 180 hours. I quite literally get up as early as 4 AM to work till as late as 11:30 PM go to sleep and do it again. Its pretty hard to find hours when stores are open. One fact about Petersburg, this Island has no fast food what so ever!!!

I think my pumping partner is really enjoying me as a partner. We are totally kicking ass, knocking out boats faster than anyone and our boss is loving us! We have backed up the cannery today and I hope tomorrow will be a light day, but who knows. He has worked here for 2 years now and he thinks we may be one of the best working teams they have had. It is so cool to actually get positive reinforcement from your friends and employeed.

However there is one down thing, I have been a half hour late to work twice now...sleeping through my alarm. Therefor whenever I get to a store that is open when I am not working I will be getting a couple more alarm clocks! Ok, G'night all!

Wow, that's a ton of hours. I've never worked that many hours before! I guess you'll be getting a nice pay off in the end, so keep it up and hopefully you won't have to work during the school year. Miss you!

this is what happened to me in india. I went for three weeks. I had intense tennis at 5 AM and I was working on other things until 10 PM. I bet I felt just like you...

WOW Morgan! That is a lot of hours. I hope you can read this message and have some sort of internet up there. Nancy and I have a package we want to sent you but can not find the email you sent with your address. Please send it again! Take care and watch where you sleep and be careful. Love you, Dad
