    Lemme start this with I know I'm kind of (really) being a baby.
    Here we go...
    The warehouse is so short staffed tonight that I am pulling and building orders with a pallet jack, then staging them so I can load the trailer my self, then jumping in the yard dog and swapping trailers out when it's full lol. Holy #### this is what I get for saying "Sure I'll work a 6th day" this has 17 hour day written all over it.
    The only thing that is keeping me going at this point is $$$$$$$$$ lol

    Except for those dang Kelley trailers. Some of those seem to be backwards, but at least that’s easy to remember.

    Just learned a unfun fact. We have a building about a hour and a half away that we load trailers for here because they don't have a dock. Some of the guys have to get in the truck there and drive down here to get their trailer to go deliver.....f that lol. I guess if you look at it as you're getting paid the whole time anyway it's not terrible but sitting in traffic bobtail knowing there is a full trailer waiting for you in a hour and a half would burn me up.

    I don't count the redheaded stepchild. I'm pretending those don't exist. I close my eyes and plug my ears and say "we don't have swing doors we don't have swing doors we don't have swing doors!"
