Holy moly what a day!
This morning, I came to work at 7.30 am as usual. I met one of my coworkers, who explained to me that the AutoStore had broken down, with no fix in sight. All I could do was stand and look, as they tried to fix the machine.About 30 minutes later, a supervisor asked me, if I had ever tried picking by hand. I told him no, to which he replied "Okay, let's pick something by hand. You need to be comfortable with that", so he handed me a hand scanner, and off we went. I spent the next two hours picking items by hand, which was surprisingly easy. Meanwhile, the orders kept piling up in the AutoStore, and at one point we were up to about 180 orders. I thought to myself, that when the system was back online, we'd have a busy time ahead of us. At around 11.30 am, the system did indeed come back online, at which point three people, me included, began to empty the order queue. I don't really mind having a lot to do. It keeps me busy. I'm one of those people who LOVES warehouse work. Doing hard labor is where I am at my very best. I love using my body during work.. Anyway, getting side tracked.
At around 2 pm, we were down to the normal amount of orders. That means, it took three people about three and a half hours to clear 180 orders. I'm very proud of that, if I do say so myself.
I am now at home, in my chair, absolutely shattered. I bough a microwave meal, so I'm gonna make that in a bit. Tomorrow's another day. I'm looking forward to that a lot
