Days 21-22

This post should catch me up through yesterday.  The last couple of days have been relatively quiet at work. Things are starting to settle into a routine, with just minor hiccups. I continued to work on COR classwork; can not wait to finish it! I inquired about obtaining some gravity rollers from Kandahar (KAF) to help with our sorting operations. It looks like we are going to get some. This is how I envision it. Imagine the incoming pallets that need to be broken down/sorted are in the center. To the left and right would be rollers, acting like bridges to the pallets that we build for our two subordinate post offices. The rollers would also act as a staging area, allowing the sorter to continue pushing out packages while the loader builds the pallet. This provides for a more steady sorting flow. Right now, packages have to be dished out one at a time.  There would also (hopefully) be two more angled out from the bottom of the center for packages inbound to Shindand, which are staged in large 20' containers. I am expecting the volume to increase significantly for the holidays, so this setup will help out greatly. The weather is starting to cool just a tad, especially at night. Speaking of nights, they are really clear here, with an awesome view of the stars. I even saw the north star around 1740, when it was still some light! Well, until next time...
