Randomursday

- We have a job for a customer with the last name Beardsley. Whenever I see the name, I can't help but think, "Beardsley of bees" and stroke my non-existent beard.

- I just enjoyed giving one of our designers a really hard time for not knowing or even being willing to figure out how to FedEx something. Yes, I called him incompetent... I'm thinking now I should have gone with "lazy bastard."

- I also enjoyed listening to that same designer cuss out the paper towel dispenser. That barely offset the fact that I had to listen to him pee as I sit in my acoustically challenged office.

- I added "as I sit" to the previous sentence because without it, it sounded like he was in my office while doing the peeing.

- Yes Pandora, I'm still listening.

- Where'd my blue Sharpie go?

- Watching the production schedule today is like watching and waiting for the tea kettle...

- Oh for cryin' out loud...where's my black pen!?

- Milestone is nice enough to provide a pen and a box on their coffee bags to write the name of the coffee you picked to grind. Guess who didn't use it... Picked a great coffee and don't remember the name.

- Don't ask me where that beard thing came from. I have no idea.

- This has been the first week where I have not been able to figure out a solution to all the problems without majorly affecting deliveries. I'm a damn good problem solver, so that might tell you how terrifically horrible the last 5 workdays have been. I've had to pull all of the paperwork out of the shop and start over twice already this week. I haven't done that in the 4 years I've been here.

- We have a customer who always calls in and starts talking to whomever answers the phone like they know everything about the job he's talking about. There's only 1 person in this office that handles his orders.

- I've spent the last 3 hours doing data entry that's been piling up over the last 4 days. I need a freakin' assistant!!

- Gonna do some campsite scouting this weekend. Don't really want to go by myself, but I don't know what else to do since I decided to take the day off tomorrow. Maybe I'll find a fish or two.

Have a great week/end everyone.

  1. I'm sorry your last few days (weeks, months?) have been tough, but I have to say I love that you've kept your sense of humor.
    Enjoy your time away from work...and hire an assistant! Oh, and get some more pens :-)

  2. Rough week? I've seen one for those bee-beards in a photo Don't know that I could hold still for that!

    Better not let the designer you were ugly to know that you can't keep track of pens!
