a horrific day

So I had a shitty day today and it wasn't just because it was Monday.  Long story short I now work for a company whose warehouse division has been deemed inadequate (the division that I'm now a supervisor in) "we" are fucking things up left and right in the eyes of many.  I've worked for places where shit happened and a solution had to be found QUICK.  Well what I'm finding is that due to some people being inadequate in their position, a chain reaction has been caused.  I'm not laying blame on one person specifically by any means.  I even own the fact that when I pull orders I have been known to not send the correct amount (as in, if I need 512 bags of product and that equals 13 cases and I have say 15 cases on a pallet, hell yeah... I'll send the whole pallet)

I've learned my lesson though because this did nothing but create more work for me and my team in the long run.  Back to the shitty day though-- Today was a shipping day.  We were supposed to ship the 2nd wave of a particular customers order out... this is a BIG account.  Well the only thing that went out was Water plants... (only about 1/4 of the total shipment) You see that what had happened was.... some of the plants/packages produced in house were put in the wrong bags.  To fix this a label was made to put over the "wrong" directions that were preprinted on said bag... well the big wigs including the VP of sales who in a normal situation should never really step foot in the warehouse is going to be coming out into the warehouse tomorrow and doing a check of every single rack that was supposed to go out today to ensure that the appropriate label is on EVERY SINGLE box.

Big deal right? Um... if anything is fucked up on this shipment this customer is pulling their business... so yeah BIG FUCKING DEAL....SERIOUS SHIT....This means that worse case scenario EVERYONE could be fired and they could choose to start from scratch.

I'm kind of pissed though because I'm being reemed for shit that really isn't my fault (and so is the other new guy in shipping) but because I'm part of the team....EVERYONE IS AT FAULT.  Blah...

I dunno...I know that tomorrow is going to be hell...this whole week really...we are now behind in shipping which is pushing us behind for the rest of the week.  I just wish shit was more organized and I worked with more accountable people...or that they'd get rid of the folks that are fucking shit up before we all get escorted out of the building.

Ugh.  Breathing....breathing....

Holy shit! That's right girl-just breathe. I have no other advice to offer. Hugs to you.

Hmm.... I am afraid to ask how your day was today. Shitty indeed, Tommy. Like the good woman above me said, "just breathe." I think she is on to something... :) So, are you breathing yet, or do I have to head on over to Virginia, dig you out of the snow and check for a pulse or what? Breathe, breathe breathe....inhale....exhale... tomorrow is another day. Hang in there, girlie!
