Owwie
Today's truck was less than a 100o pieces and we had help. Feet, you aren't allowed to hurt me as much as you are over something like that. Save it for tomorrow with it's 2600 piece truck, okay?
...Seriously. How hard can it be to split a truck up? They could've put about six hundred pieces onto today's truck to even out tomorrow's load, you know?
Ah well. At least today was easy, though it seems we're permanently down to six ICS team members. I guess Paul returned while I was gone only to get hurt again. They have him people greeting right now (I'm surprised he hasn't killed any customers yet, actually), but it's very unlikely he'll be returning to us. ;_;
Better yet, Billy's officially on his new three-days-a-week schedule. He's told management that if they make him lead, he'll be able to quit his other job and work full time here, but they seem fairly content with just having him in charge without the actual title.
To get to the point- this means that unless this changes, I am permanently in charge of our team on Sundays and Wednesdays. ...Yay responsibility? What am I saying- responsibility freaking sucks when you can't get anything done. >.<
Er, despite my complaining, again I state that today was a good day. Because inventory happened a few days ago, picks have been really high, so the lady who works in softlines (I usually do her picks) was estatic to see me- so much so that she even hugged me. The assistant manager was also happy to see me back and called me the 'Pick All-Star' in front of several people.
I should not beam like an idiot for being the best at a relatively simple task. It's basically a combination of a treasure hunt and matching game, only a level up. Once you learn how to work the devices we use and get used to how the bins work, it's really easy.
Heheh... okay. So perhaps I make it an art form. (let's praise go to head)
Topic change ahoy!
I come home from work to find my net problem has worsened. This is irritating because the past few days it was actually getting better. Now, however, I am having a lot of difficulty simply opening Internet Explorer. It took me thirty minutes this time!
I did start running a full scan on my computer courtesy of Microsoft, but it's taking a really long time. I'm at fifteen percent and it's been running for three hours. I was thinking about leaving my computer on to let it finish, but I don't know what good it will do. I searched a little more and wound up stumbling upon a forum where a guy has what appears to be the exact same problem. The only difference I can see actually is that he has XP and I have Vista.
Thing is, he's an IT guy. And the person trying to help him seems to really know their computer stuff. Therefore the following conversation they have makes no sense whatsoever to me. Worse yet, despite all of this the problem doesn't seem to have been resolved yet either.
I think someone should make a magic fix everything button.
