Not worth visiting!

Wrapped a million gifts.

Spent 2 weeks during Christmas 2002 wrapping gifts in the Amazon warehouse. The gift line was very competitive amongst us overpaid elves who had been flown in to gain some perspective into the company. Every gift you wrapped would result in one peeled off sticker stub, and people would stack them up and count them at the end of the day to see who could wrap the most gifts.

That was fun for a little bit. But then, I decided it would be more fun to tamper with the results during lunch and witness the confusion when someone who thought they had been doing so good really only had a mediocre day, and the slacker of the day actually rose above (maybe they were in a gift-wrapping zone and didn’t know it). What power! I felt like Robin Hood.

The other fun part of Campbellsville (since it is in a dry county) was driving out of the county and looking for liquor. You can buy bottles at drive-thrus and feel like you’re back in the 20’s. The Maker’s Mark distillery was nearby as well and I enjoyed dipping a few bottles of my own to take home.
