It was not difficult to shoot photos of new employees, but it was hard to show that they were recently hired. Anyway, I ended up taking photos of a woman who was hired two weeks ago and an overview photo of the warehouse as I was on a scissor lift (first time I got to ride on one of the those lifts, exciting and scary).

What impressed me the most was the size of the warehouse. It’s huge! I’ve never imagined a warehouse so big. I talked to one of the long-time workers there and he told me that the warehouse is almost 4,000 square feet and Overstock has another warehouse close by, and it is bigger than the one I was at. Overstock only have warehouses in Salt Lake City, Utah.

It was very cold, hard to see the road, and difficult to drive. Anyway, I got a snow picture and just want to share it with you.

It was amazing seeing the bikers doing the tricks in real life. I have only seen the competition on TV, and it seemed so far away. But when I was at the Dew Tour, it was whole different experience.
