Back to parts
Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2005 4:12 pm
I actually started back in parts Monday, but I've been so slammed with other crap going on that I haven't really been online to post.
So yeah, I told my manager: Get me out of this shuttle van. I'm going nuts driving in circles. I wanna come back to parts.
Knowing that I am the best parts guy he's got, and that any dumb-ass can drive a van in circles all day, he began making the necessary arrangements for my triumphant return to parts. It finally worked out on Monday, and I went back to doing the stock order.
I've never seen the parts department such a mess. Everything is all screwed up. People are putting parts wherever the hell they feel like it with no concern for numerical sequence. Since we have about 7 guys in a position where we used to have 3, I've been assigned to look over one section, which is upstairs in the main parts building (headlights, rad supports, floor mats, accessories, etc.) I've been cleaning that section up bit by bit, putting everything back in order and making it look neater. But I could find a whole lot to do throughout the parts department.
Anyway, my manager wanted me to come in a half-hour earlier (in fact, he'd prefer I work days, but I have school), so that, and the fact that I'm once again eligible for monthly bonuses and can now make requests for raises again, has me edging a little ahead moneywise. I made an extra $20 this week
So yeah, no more lazy-ass shuttle-driver subyluvr!
