9:04am Kenai, AK
I woke up and looked at my watch...6:38am...'coffee's gonna be late.' I slapped on some pants and flip flops and rushed to the break room. I made a small pot in the hopes that it would percolate quicker while i washed the other pot and brewed a big 'ol pot of coffee. It's going to be a long good day. Last night they unloaded 10 boats. They were pitching and sorting fish until 4:30am. They had to call in extra people because the dock crew is mostly new and they haven't done that kind of volume yet. I almost got to go out last night but i think they didn't need one more person who didn't really know what was going on. They would have stuck me in the boat to pitch the fish which is what i want to do but they had plenty of people that could do that. What they needed were people who could sort the fish quickly and efficiently. We have roughly 160 totes of fish in the processing room and more are coming. The Georgia Straits is coming into dock this morning to get 10,000lbs. offloaded and then i'm sure there will be more fish later. Yippee!
