All about work + side-notes

Thursday was a total nightmare at work. You ever get one of those days? Days where nothing just go your way? Well, happened to me on Thursday.

So, I mainly do dispatch now at the factory, with the holidays season around the corner. And with the massive orders customers are wanting, the products naturally run low. Thursday was one of those day. The production line was just about done with the 9 cartons I was lacking for the dispatch of the day. I was just about to pack them up, when the transport company, Rand, came to pick up the goods. Great. And I've yet to pallet wrap all the 6 pallets. Luckily, they were only 6. Anymore, I might have gone crazy.

But that's not all. To make matters worse, the admin girl, Tracy, and the production manager, Geoff, (I think that's his title), were at a conference. So, no one to help me speed things up. And then the big boss with the assistant boss were occupying approximately 7 pallets worth of space, playing around with their new toy. And they used my packed, unwrapped pallets as their workbench. Great. But that's not all. The wrapping machine, was just next to them. Meaning I can't exactly speed all I like with the forklift, just to speed things up a little. Just have to do it slow & easy with the driver looking on.

And if you think that's the end of it. No... Next, the wrapping machine just refused to start on me. Just when you think things couldn't be any worst. Took a good 10 minutes for it to get moving again. And I had to boldly & sneakily get Geoff to help me get it moving again.

Once it's moving, it was moving as it should be. Just had to do things manually with all the controls.

And the end of it - the machine had to run out of the plastic wrapper. Awesome. With no one to help too. Thankfully, that wasn't much of an issue since I'd always changed the plastic roll on my own. So, it was quick.

Sigh~ What could have been a 15 minutes job, took me a good 30 to 40 minutes I believer.

That's about it on Thursday. Friday was fun though.

Another dispatch & pick up to do. This time, everything was done nicely, waiting for the transport company to come pick up the goods. 24 pallets in all. Awesomeness. It will be fun.

When the truck came by, it was more fun than I thought. The container truck, just came from delivering frozen goods. So inside the container, it was all cold. To add it on, the floor was all icy. How fun. The driver couldn't get the pallet in place by himself, so I had to get up there & help him. It was fun, sliding over the floor, trying to push the pallet in place. Leg power were useless here. Had to use the arm. Grabbing on to the sides where there are holes, using them as a point to push the pallet forward with the other hand. All sliding along the floor or getting pushed by back the pallet at the same time. Hahahaha.

Next Monday & Tuesday are going to be crazy. Need to get ready for a 40 foot & a 20 foot container dispatch.

On a side note from work. Waiting anxiously & with great anticipation to getting back to Singapore. Thinking of all the things to do, people to meet.

The wackiness with Valerie, Audrey, Lulu, Siewhoon & YuTing. Crazy & varied fun with my cousins. Chillax with Jean & company. Meet ups with Susanna, Marie, Curina, Lionel, Martin, Xinyi, Shihui & gang so that I conveniently don't miss anyone out since this is one of the biggest group I meet up with. Getting together with Rachel. Bitching & some outdoor fun with Jerome, Keith, Shermin, Meixing & Jasmine. Of course catching up with my brother. Possibly gathering with primary school mates. Maybe just hanging out with Kristelle if she's around since I haven't seen her in ages, & with Amy too. Of course there's Joseph & Aikhong too. And Bunny. So many people. The list never end. Well, it does, but it's just a figurative speech pattern you know.

On another side note. I know this is going to sound crazy & narcissistic. But. I think I'm in love with my long hair (just after bunny & gaming & entertainment & gymnastics & sports in general). Hahaha. It's getting a bit hard for me to part with it now. More so since bunny loves it too. Hmmm... What am I going to do with it when I'm back in Singapore...

Oh. And anticipating the 4E2 gathering too of course.
