#323 DistribuShawn DistractShawn

Oy-Vey!

Talk about a lost and found desk...

I was at our Distribution Center today. And the senior clerk there took me into a room with a large table full of boxes of products and returns, going back to 2011...

Some of these needed immediate attention, while others had been discussed and confirmed at length over the years. And yet, there they say.

Some products are still usable / sellable, while other *were* but are no longer because... nothing was done.

After an hour, I went back to my temp desk and caught up on my own tasks, but damn if this doesn't piss me off. Especially since my name was plastered on a lot of these things...  It's a good thing I don't throw out any email, because I was able to provide whole email threads concerning a great many of these.

I go back on Friday to continue helping to resolve issues and answer unasked questions.

Fun.

#232 Focus: VacaShawn

Vacation is so close now... 

I can hardly contain myself and keep focused on day to day tasks.

Every few minutes my mind wanders to endless walks on the beach... endless morning sleeping in...  endless meals filled with seafood...  endless laughs with my parents... endless walks with the dogs...

12:30pm Friday can NOT come soon enough.

#177 Long Weekend DistracShawn

Day four of four...

And I'm alive.  

The old bird returns tomorrow and I leave the office at 12:30. I have a list of her mistakes for her to correct... frankly I was far too busy and more to the point I didn't want to. 

At this point I'm already checked out and looking forward to 4 days and nights at the cottage on the lake. Four days to sleep in. Four days to laze about... take leisurely walks, country road drives to no-where and back. Fireflies. Loons on the lake. And if all goes well at least one meal of Lac Brome duck. (yum) 

Long Long Weekend, here we come!
