Day one-hundred-thirteen

Another busy day at work. I don't know how long things can hold out. As it exists now, things in the digital room cannot keep going as they are. We are working so much harder than we have to, and all we have to show for it is that we can barely make it to the end of the day.  

I've been thinking about what I should say to management. Personally, I think we've put up with an unworkable situation for too long. While we've been told that things will start slowing down for the season, the digital room is busier than ever.

This evening has been a bit of a revelation for me, however. I found that I'm not the only one who's noticed how little the first shift staff manages to get done, nor that it seems to be because they are not responsible for being sure things get shipped on time. I had to leave a hand-written sign telling them to work on roll labels, which they typically ignore.  Rather than be discouraged by this discovery, I'm actually a little encouraged. Maybe nobody's too sure what to do, but at least we're all on the same page.

Again, I ask that all you out pray for wisdom for me. Things can't stay as they are, since that's hurting productivity. Maybe that's how I need to say it to management, if or when I say anything. I'm not sure what I should do.

Anyway, it's 11:14 pm and it's time for a late dinner. Cheeseburger and chili cheese fries from Tommy's.
