Day 1 of the Six Day Grind
Because of the annual inventory, the flow team got Monday and Tuesday off. So today more or less marked the start of a new week for us. It also started a run of six days straight we will be doing trucks, so my next day off will be Tuesday, which feels quite a long ways away from right now.
My main concern is whether this is an accident, or if our schedule might be shifting back to having trucks on Sunday. Mike thinks next week schedule might be in error, since there is also a midnight start time on Friday. It could be the schedule was automatically set from one of the last weeks we had a similar set up. We'll probably find out later this week, our department manager Josh will be in tomorrow and we'll figure it out then. Hopefully it's a mistake and we will have Sunday free.
On the upside for today, I got my new glasses from Coastal.com. They had a promotion on Facebook of giving away a pair for $15. They seem to fit a bit snug, but then my other pair was rather loose since it didn't have the nose pads. The prescription seems a bit strong, but I think that might have more to do with the frames. This pair has wire frames, while the previous pair I bought was solid plastic frames. It feels like I have a much wider blurry peripheral area around my eyes now. Not surprisingly, when I bought that plastic framed pair (switching from my previous wire frames) I felt like I had blinders over the sides of my eyes. So a lot of this is simply personal adjustment.
