My day, in a nutshell

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

10:00 am--Begin loading our empty trailer with empty repack totes, clothes hangers for recycling, defective merchandise, and a couple boxes for a transfer, because we were told the trailer could be loaded up to go back to the DC.

10:15 am--Finish loading trailer.

10:17 am--Get an outside call from the DC. "We need your trailer to be completely empty. Oh, and fuck you."

Okay, I made up the last part there.

did you escape the nutshell?

[fireheart]

No, this is me in a nutshell: "Help, I'm in a nutshell! How did I get into this nutshell? Look at the size of this bloody great thing naturally What sort of shell has a nut like this I mean this is crazy"

Points for reference. (You have to name the movie as well as the character )

Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery. The actor is Mike Myers. :P

No. They "said" it. Just not out loud.

What is wrong with DCs? I honestly think that the one that supplies my wife's store is completely staffed by monkeys. I won't go off thread by talking about the truck loading itself, but the logistics decisions are as arbitrary as possible.

Other than the case of 'we need that trailer back right this minute, loaded or nor', why the heck would they want a trailer back empty? If stuff has tongo back to the DC, wouldn't it make more sense to get it on the next available trailer?

They use the trailers to pick up merchandise from area suppliers. We are close to a mattress factory and a birdseed factory that we get merchandise from.

Depending on how much stuff they're picking up, we may only be able to load the trailer so much, or not at all.

Character, not actor. But you get cookies anyway!

I loved that scene! Austin doing the funny show for Vanessa, that was just too cute.

Back OT, What was the point of having you load up the trailer, then unload it? Did they not look at their orders? (Probably not, as it would require them to pull their heads out of their hindquarters...)

I can go one better.

RUNNNNN ITS GODZILLA!

I'm shocked. Other than the fact that they can't be arsed to properly inform you of what's to be done, it's remarkably smart to use a trailer that's in the area anyway for pick-ups.

Annnnndddd...completely off topic-I'm now sitting here laughing because I'm typing this on my tablet, and I happen to have headphones on, and this is the first time I've realised that it's typing noises are from an old manual typewriter. Down to the different sounds for backspace, space bar, and return key.
