NEWS!

I just came home from work. We recieved news that the warehouse I am in is being shut down. It does not mean I will be losing a job but it does mean a longer cummute. I will be allowed to transfer to the Fernley plant. Not sure of where I will be put. The only thing I can be sure of is I will get the shift of Wed - Sat. The warehouse we were in was just not big enough and Amazon found a warehouse in Pheonix that was bigger then ours. Our wharehouse is only about 300,000 square feet. There were a lot of tears shed at the announcment. Some will be losing there status as lower managment. In my case I will be getting a raise since Fernley pays a higher rate then our Reno warehouse did. Some will quit becuase they do not like Fernley. I will try to be positive that I did not lose my job since the unemployment rate around here is 11%. They also set it up so people could transfer to any warehouse in the US. Pheonix sounded a little too hot for me. Also with Lisa she has a job even if it is only 8 hours a week. Other wise Dallas or one of the Kentucky would have been a good deal. Well that is the news sorry if it seems scattered. The news was a bit of a blow.

My Niece Rena has just e-mailed me the latest photos of my grand nephews and niece. I will start on the right side and that is Timothy, named after my brother, Christopher, who is named after one of his dads family members and Hilma, named after my mom (her great grandma. The kids are part Yupik. I also got news from my nephew Calvin that he and his wife are expecting a boy in April. Calvins wife is also Yupik. They both decided to name the boy Brian Javek Dobkins. So my name carries on.
