Uneventful Day

I wish I had more to report, but, today has been the most boring day of my life.

A rarity on the production floor, I must say.

I'm sure it will be a very short lived scenario, however. The purchasing ban has been lifted by corporate purchasing, meaning, we are now able to max out our credit with the suppliers once again.

If this morning is any indication, it'll be complete chaos until our next spending freeze.

Like vultures on a fresh kill, the instant the UPS truck had backed up to the window planners and business managers were circling the area, sniffing out the scene, looking for components that were expected to be delivered.

I was disgusted.

I had to email the production control manager and request he maintain 'control' of his people, they were out of hand. Visions of After Thanksgiving Sales came to mind as I witnessed them clawing through packages and yelling "This needs to be received, these are HOT!"

Someone please shoot me if I ever let myself sink to that level of professionalism.

On a side note - Hedda Hopper's van had a dead battery in it this morning when she went to leave for work. Odds are, before the end of the week, she'll be giving everyone a hard luck story about how her new van is acting up and she doesn't have the funds to fix it. Amazingly, however, she'll have the money to buy a million trinkets at the gas station, cd's to play in her cd player, and an article of clothing.
