No rest in sight for John, nor for our son Austin. I think I told you that John was hired to come in and field calls related to the spill, no? The first day it was just him, then they got a couple more people to help him, then a dozen more, and now they've got about sixty people spread out over two 8-hr. shifts a day, working seven days a week, answering five or six thousand calls a day, and it's John's job to supervise them all. On top of that, Austin was called in to set up a database that could collect all the information from all of these calls - and he did it! In record time! And it works! Not bad for a kid fresh out of college, eh?
What a nightmare though. And all I can do is sit here and pray for all those involved - every creature, great and small.
P.S. Many thanks to expatbrazil.wordpress.com for the above image.
That's 24 hrs kiddo. Around the clock. Had 800 calls in one hour this morning.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least I finally thought of something I can do, besides pray that is. I think this situation calls for homemade pralines and Mexican brownies. So, how many workers are you up to now? Not sure if I have enough pans!
