Patty's Back! At The Zebra Warehouse.

I just wanted to post a quick mention of the big news today.   Patty's back!   "Who is Patty?"  You may ask?   She is the all-important computer girl who looks up lost things, sends friendly email reminders, and generally fixes inbound things that are broken.   ( From an I.T. perspective.)  Honestly, I'm not entirely sure of what she does, but she is an important part of the inbound team and we have missed her ever since Rachel has had to take up both her and Patty's job since patty has been gone.  Let's just say her job is unique.

We were afraid Patty had been sucked up in the great Haribo tornado that has now claimed three of our best employees! (Well,   that's only if you count  Phil....  Remember Phil?)  Apparently everyone who makes the move LOVES it at Haribo...   ( All that sugar in their candy has caused some sort of addiction, I bet.) And Patty has family that works there, so it was logical that we feared the worst.  She had been gone for a while due to family issues and we feared she would be gone forever.

But she is back!   And I just wanted to acknowledge that on the blog.   Mostly just as a record and a heads up for those Zebra employees who tune in to my ramblings from time to time.  ( Including Phil....  Are you still there Phil?   Come in Phil... Come in....)  

In other news:  Remember when I said we would have 6 trucks on Monday.   Turns out to be 7!  And about 90 FedEx packages in addition to the usual receive load.  It was a busy day.   And before I go off on a rant or tangent,  let me just say that we only got one of those trucks fully processed.  ( TX5 Texas...  I'll leave it at that.)  It was slow going and half way through the day we lost one of our clerks. So our

Like tallying bananas!

In-Bound Team was missing one of our Managers, Rachael, Marian, and Patty had to train for most of the day, so she was booked up as well.   Tomorrow, another clerk will be missing for Habitat For Humanity so we will be short handed yet again.  

But all that work makes the days fly by!   And there is a certain team building that occurs when a group of people face hardship together.  But all that matters for me is getting to Wednesday that much faster.   I'm ready for some Chalking!   

So Welcome Back Patty!   We missed you.   And I'm sure everyone is more than happy to see you back on the team.  Haribo can wait just a little longer.   

Thanks for stopping in.
