One of those days..
You know, one of those days where you've wanted to quit on the spot.Today was one of those days.
We have something at work called innight. It's where all the next-day orders are packed and shipped at around 5 pm. It's separate from the other orders we process, and they usually being picked after noon. There are two types of orders: Customer orders and stock-orders. Customer orders are self explanatory. The stock orders are for overflow or just for stocking up at the various garages. On a busy day, we get perhaps 40 innight orders, however today was different. We had 40 orders by 10 am, and they just kept coming. My boss is on holiday this week, so I run the innight show. Sometimes I wish I didn't.
It got so bad, that we only focused on the orders for customers - stock orders had to wait. If we had the time to pack stock orders, we would pack those as well. Spoiler alert: We didn't have time for those, so they are waiting for the morning shift.
We have been told time and time again, that stock orders would stop coming - but they are still coming in. I will give credit to the new hire. He did a fantastic job. I just hope tomorrow and Friday will be different.
And just to clarify: No, I am not quitting my job anytime soon. They will have to fire me, which isn't going to happen any time soon, thankfully.
