What a week....

[Brian H]

I am ready for a break!!!

We are just finishing one of the busiest weeks we have had in a long, long time!!!

Monday- issues with computers communicating with printers when we migrated to the cloud. Scanners not reading bar codes, work orders not printing, rug tags not printing, etc.
Tuesday- major flooding and we took over 600 calls in our call center. 3 key call center people couldn't make it in due to flooded basements of their own.
Wednesday- another 600 plus call day.
Thursday- only 500 calls.
Friday- more computer issues, but I think they are finally resolved.

Total calls this week as of 2:45 pm EST over 2400...

Oh and we have been washing wet rugs non stop since about noon on Tuesday. 190 orders, more then 450 wet rugs. These are in addition to a normal week of 800-1000 rugs we already had in our system.

It will look nice when the P & L comes out, right now I could use a drink!!

WOW that's awesome!









My day started rough but has gotten better. I got out of my pickup to open the gate and I had hay on the bottom of my boot. Hay does normally stick you the bottom of my boot unless something is holding it there.

Rubbed my boot on the asphalt and sure enough the hay came off and a big honkin clump of cat poop. I've not even opened the gate and I'm ready to go home.

Open the gate, pull in check the bottom of my boot and wedged in between the tread is a nice cake of yellow cat chit.

I go to open the office door and drop a box of blueberry muffins as I try to shut the alarm off.

Its payday and there is overtime, double time and hazardous bonuses all to be calculated and paid today. Its been a long morning plus Tony Stewart is still a free man.

Dayuum, you need a break after that.

We moved to the "cloud" this month also, obviously on a 1:1000th of the scale.
Has been a PIA but already am seeing the benefits.

Holy crap... I'm having a drink just after reading that.

That week had to hurt... Everything but the pocket book I hope.
