Seriously. I leave work for one day--one day--and all fucking hell breaks loose. My day back and I get baglogged with order sheets, invoice problems, and for over a week now I've been trying to order a power adapter for our sales rep and I still haven't done it, and not for any lack of trying on my part!! (OK, well, maybe the first few days, but, that was last week!)

On top of it all, we had more big wigs from Fiberconn come up to check things out, what with the merger. One of our customer service reps, Jennifer, transfered from Fiberconn, so she's friendly with them all. At one point I walked over to her desk for some reason, just in time to here her bitch that it takes too long for me to sign off on the orders. The worst part is, it's a bit of a fair cop--I have been taking longer with orders lately, but only because I've been swamped with so much other shit that I don't have time for it! Still, not nice to hear her bitch to the higher-ups about it, and especially when I've been one of the view people in the office that's nice to her (she managed to piss off Brenda and Laura fairly quickly; not sure where anyone else stands with her.) I meant to bring this up with her, but (here's a surprise) I had no fucking time to do it!!

So it was another late day in the office. I finally got out around 5:45, slightly earlier than when I stayed late on Thursday. More problems with Morocco orders. turns out they have sent more cables than I thought they did, but backtracking through the mess (my screw-ups, Recieveings screw-ups, Quanity Control's screw-ups; we all dropped in spots) I managed to figure most of it out. But tomorrow ends Ramadan so they won't veen be there.

I think I'm going to have to start spending one or two nights a week working late because the only way I can stay on track--nevermind ahead--means I'm gonna have to put in the extra hour or two. Bugger all.

On the bright side, with tomorrow the day before a holiday, the sales orders should be all but non-existent by noon so I'll be able to focus on some of the items still in piles on my desk.

At least I enjoyed my day off (as evidenced by four blogs in one day; it was like My Unemployed Life all over again! :). It's just a bitch that I have to pay for it.
