I'm glad I didn't post sooner; its 11:00 pm exactly as I write this. I'm home and in a better mood leaving work than I have been in a long time. Today was, bar none, the easiest day of work I've ever had. It was so slow work-wise that I could've called out today and the company might've appreciated not having to pay me. There was so little work that one packer/shipper could've handled it, and it still might not have been enough to do.
First off, we did move out into the warehouse today. Guillermo, our cutter, cut nearly nothing for the first two hours in part because the machine had just been moved, and partly because he had the replace the cutting blade, a rather involved process. I was legitimately concerned that we were going to fall behind. I am glad to say that fear was greatly misplaced.
It helps that we now have an overnight cutter for digital, a guy named Mike. It seems like, with Mike now moving things along, both shifts are getting product sent out faster. Actually, more people have been added this week throughout the warehouse, primarily in packing/shipping. We had some people start on Monday and one or two new people today. If anyone out there needs a job, the company is still looking.
I spent the hour of work shooting the breeze with my co-worker, Christina. Just a week ago, I would've still been shipping up until 10:30 pm, or even past then, just to get everything for that day sent out. It seems like things are settling down across the board for everyone, so it's been a nice break after the hectic nature of last week.
Anyway, Im thankful that things are finally improving at work, and that God has granted me the patience not to walk away from what has been a difficult situation. I'm thankful that the lord has given me His peace and patience to deal with these situations.
