Nothing exasperates me more than being called in during vacation to work on a ‘big emergency rush’ only to see the product sit around for a week before being delivered…

I had scheduled for 2 additional days off after xmas to spend time with my wife and kids.

Friday night the parts are still sitting there waiting to ship. New years weekend comes and goes, come into work tuesday morning, the parts are still sitting waiting to ship. Finally, this morning (the 5th of Jan), I watch the parts finally leave the buding to be delivered… I feel so gratified to have ruined the morning I meant to spend with my wife in order to ensure those parts could sit around forgotten for a week… This shit is getting old.
