#304 Stress-free Work-week CompleteShawn

Miracle of miracles!

Today went smoothly. All documentation to our Air and Ground Carriers was filled out correctly on the first try and completed before 3pm. 

If there's such a thing as a Samhain Gift, this was it! 

I can go home (hopefully before sundown), Smudge the house, welcome friendly spirits and cast out any negativity for the new year. 

If today was an indication all will be well tonight.

#303 Managerial RepatriaShawn

The Eagle has landed.

And by 'Eagle', I mean my 'Boss'.

And by 'landed', I mean 'he came into the office, for the first time in 2 weeks. After all the mess ups, bumbles and fuck ups. And after the letter I  sent last Friday."

Surprisingly it went well...  

But like the past few weeks, Fridays are the most unpredictable and incendiary...  AND it's all Hallow's Eve...  so... yea... I will be wearing a ward of protection.

#302 Tunnel ViShawn

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Or at the very least the current tunnel.

Thankfully the mistakes seem to have come to an end, as the one good employee we have at of shipping dock is back from vacation.

Of course he’s SWAMPED!   Not only trying to clean up the near endless mess-ups from the past few weeks, but also stay afloat with the daily tasks, and training his new manager, and the Boss….

His Boss is my Boss….who it should be noted was already trained once already from the two people that he fired for making a mistake. Back in August.  One. ONE mistake, you know… compared to the countless mistakes HE made over the past two weeks…   And it’s not that  his original training was not good, it’s because he seldom if ever listens to anyone that points out anything. Offers input, direction or help. He’s got it all figured out. Everything is calm and good. No worries here.

…but back to the light….

It’s almost as if I can just do my regular job.

#301 Perfect ImperfecShawn

You have to wonder about the length of a noose one requires to hang themselves.

Of course there were more shipping issues over the weekend. The fall-out which is still in play.   Incorrect documents, poorly packaged boxes and missing tracking info.

All in all  a marked decrease in issues, but issues nonetheless.

Consistent inconsistencies. Seems to be the new normal.

If there is a method to this madness, it’s clear I am far too sane to decipher it. 

#300 ContinuaShawn

Well, so far so good.

The Boss is still working remotely (presumably still cleaning up the messes from the past two weeks), but any interaction, email / phone has been extremely cordial.   Not sure if that's because he's been addressed by HIS Boss, HR or both.  But I am still interested to see how it will be upon his return to the office proper.

In the mean-time we're all enjoying his absence. 

One day at a time.

#299 Work Week SalutaShawn

So long peaceful weekend....  

Monday will be here very soon. It's gonna be an interesting week!

Giddy-Up, Work Week, can't wait to meet ya!

#298 RedempShawn

So I have to do work on Sat and Sun, every weekend, unless I'm on vacation.  IT is only a few minutes here and there. A couple hours total over the weekend,, but I don't mind because I can bank that time, cash it in or use it as time off... 

I don't typically check my Work Email however, because if any issues might arise, I'd receive a phone call. But given the last week I thought it prudent.

Well, I could not have been less surprised, and giddier than a school girl at a One Direction Concert...  We received an email from our Primary Transport with a scathing review of the last 3 weeks, how health regulations, and required documentation has been abysmal and unacceptable. It also included CAP LOCKED segments.

But yea...  what I reported yesterday was over exaggerated and there's no problem, and all the issues were ironed out before yesterday.

Ha and Double HA!

I will sleep very well tonight, and look forward to any back-lash that might be headed my way.

Bring. It. On!
