It's been so busy at work lately. Everyone is required to work 1 hour overtime per day this entire week. Originally, I think it was just going to be the manufacturing people, but they decided to make it mandatory for everyone. It's better this way anyway - if the manufacturing people had to do it and office people didn't, there would be an uproar, I'm sure of it.

I'm working on a new project with someone else and it involves a LOT of counting of small parts. We are going to be making an assembly for one of our customers and the company that used to do it sent us all their leftover inventory. We got two huge wooden crates yesterday that have been sealed (I mean nailed, screwed AND bolted) shut since the 80's. I thought I was done counting parts but we found a whole box inside one of the crates full of more parts. UGH. Well, I finished counting all but one of the parts yesterday...the only one left is so tiny there's no way to count it by hand, I'll have to use a scale.

Near the end of the day yesterday, I received an order with a request to ship it asap. Since everyone was so busy, I knew there was no way the person in shipping was going to do it, so I had to go back there and ship it. I was rushing because UPS was going to be here soon and I totally snapped at one of my coworkers. The stress got to me. She was back there packaging something right next to me and I put down the tape gun for one second and instead of using the other one on the counter, she picked up the one I had been using AS I was reaching to pick it up again. I just said, "What the hell?!?!" She said, "Oh, would you relax!". I wanted to punch something, or her... Anyway, I went over and grabbed the other one. 99% of the time, I get along with this girl, but sometimes, she just PISSES me off.
