How long staring at the measuring tape did it take you to do the math in your head and then lie by adding 7"? Asking for Bob
61/71 and blinding sunshine. Coffee is good, no plans
The at was a hell of a week
Over 22,500 items shipped since Sunday
Good grief - to think we have another 4 weeks of this with even more of a concentration of sales….
The building has approximately 215k items in it - we just shipped 10% of our inventory in the last 6 days….
Over the next 4 weeks we’ll be down to 90k left and the next month after that we will ship another 50k - we’ll have less than 15000 items in the building just before the 4th of July
The fire burns hot and fast this time of year - but by the 4th of July the sales go way down cuz the building is just about empty…..

You must watch everyone else work. You spent a great deal of time talking about Subies the other day.

Is the inventory control manager a slackr?? You should see ifn you could get that position alsew !!🤔🤗🤩💸💸
lol Jimmy - I handle the biggest parts of the operations in the building - that’s not bragging, that’s just fact….
The receiving and inventory manager isn’t as busy as I am - it gets hectic when he has two solar cover trucks and 2 floor loaded containers coming in all on the same day but they stay fairly steady year round and their pace is usually continuous regardless of what time of year it is
Shipping ramps up to a really intense speed for about 3 months and it’s completely unmanageable chaos - it really is absolutely insane
Facilities Maintenance gets pretty nuts after pool season cuz there’s a solid 3-4 month window with the whole building empty so that’s when you try to do as much as you can in each area and you never finish - the product continually comes in and eventually starts filling up and that stops you from getting things done
Then shipping and facilities departments both have somewhat of a steady lull for about 3 months and then it’s prep time for pool season which is a lot of work to train new staff and orchestrate everybody - then pool season arrives and you lose any control of any aspect of the place and all the stuff you trained people on goes out the door - you can’t do anything but run around and tell people to just hurry up and get things shipped and tell them to be there 70hrs a week to get the shit done….
Once it’s over you lay off more than half your shipping people, we stop working Sundays, and all shipping staff work no more than 40hrs a week….
Wham Bam - it’s over quick - and year after year, we do nothing more than rinse and repeat so we can enjoy the insanity time and time again…. 🤙

That was Wednesday if I recall correctly
Wednesday and Thursday are the slowest days in the shipping world - we only had a total of 2500 for Wed and 2500 for Thurs
That’s light work - I spent two days in my office trying to get caught up on shit that I haven’t done in weeks during those 2 days - it was actually kinda nice getting a few moments to myself to think
