Beginning of December. Balls deep in the busiest shopping season of the year. Among other things we are supposed to be taking down all our Christmas stuff from upstairs and pushing it to the floor.
So of course the forklift picks today to fry its circuit board.
And naturally, the repair company doesn't have the required parts in stock so they have to order them--but not before corporate okays the expense to fix the damn thing. We could be without the forklift for a week.
So anything we need to bring or take down from upstairs has to be done by hand or by the conveyor belts which don't work worth a shit anyway. We'll have to do at least two trucks without the forklift.
Oh, and before anybody asks about a loaner--not a fucking chance. The last time the forklift was gone for extensive repairs we didn't get a loaner, and we had to undergo a big backroom re-arrangement project. We didn't get to put it off for lack of a forklift. Corporate isn't going to spend that kind of money on a store that isn't making sales.
FMJ. I wish I was dead.
