Mondays Blow.

[skybytch 273]

It's December 30th; nobody ever orders anything on December 30th. So when I found out that my other salesperson wouldn't be in today I wasn't too worried. Sure it's Monday and Mondays are always the busiest day of the week around here, but no one ever orders much of anything on 12/30. Really. They don't.

Then I got all my email and the pile off the fax machine and all the web orders... oh yeah, then the phone started ringing. And I started wondering if I could keep up. On a day that is historically pretty slow, somehow I've managed to process orders for two containers, two custom mains, a custom reserve and a stock main. Plus finish up the remaining details on a complete rig order from last week. And processed 12 orders off our website. And the boss took a complete rig order over the phone, and I have another customer calling back to order a complete rig tomorrow.

And I haven't even started on the pile in my inbox. Not to mention the inventory cards that I planned to spend at least 3 hours on today.

Okay, must start on the inbox pile now... no more post whoring for me until after I get home from work... if I can ever get enough done to leave...

Job security is a good thing. But days like this still blow.

I'm right there with ya! I hate Mondays...I work my
full time job 9-5.Unfortunately always busy...doctors
office and clinic. Usually always bad on the first day
of the week. Then I get to go off to my Monday Part
Deux...I have a part time job from 7-11. Yee hah.
Nothin' like havin' two for the price of one!!

Man, I was all excited and half expected pictures.

Reading "Skybytch - Mondays Blow" I thought it was somthing else.

Glad to see you made it though the day in one piece.

Well, at least ya got to go to work today. I got on jump from the helo yesterday, then started to get a sore throat, probably from the effects of Saturday's Luau. Anyway, woke up today and felt shitty. Looks nice out and I want to jump. And the theraflu stuff sucks, too.

Could all the ordering on a usually slow day have something to do with everyone wanting to take advantage of free shipping before the offer ends?

Yes today did suck.I've been sick for several days now with pnumonia and strep throat.Well, I ended up going to the ER early this morning b/c my throat had become so swollen from the infection that I was having trouble breathing.I spent several hours there being poked and prodded before the swelling went down enough to be sent home.Then a nasty storm blew in w/some 70+ mph winds,hail and rain...not to mention possible tornados. So I definately agree that today sucked.

I woke up this morning and felt sick. I think it may be the flu. I had the flu last year for New Years too - hopfully I feel better tomorrow.
