Moanin' Monday Blues

One of the hardest things for me to do is take a couple of days off. For the holiday, I flew home to see family.  It doesn't happen often for those of us who work retail, so I was grateful for the chance.  But that means that 50% of what I do at work gets backed up and waits for me.  Most times there aren't too any issues.  Today was not one of those times.

Processing a claim means scanning the barcode, adding the item to a claim, boxing up the items, then finalizing the claim.  My helper got a little confused, and there was a missing claim.  What he remembered doing wasn't what we ended up finding.  We had to downstack a pallet and check every box on it, trying to find the missing items.  Yes, we ended up finding them, but it wasted an hour for each of us.  Being in catchup mode, I truly didn't have time, but I smiled my way through it.

On top of that, a surprise audit by our HazMat inspection company.  Gee will I ever catch a break today???

I am anxious to find time to edit some pix to share.  I took more than I expected to, but not nearly enough either.  But I always feel that way. ~grin~  


Here's one ....  
A simple tree with a path that leads  .... 
...  somewhere  ... 
shall we find out where??
