Thoughts about work today

 She did most of the work before left for vocation.  I thought it's going to be easy.  So I told the new lady, we could do some orders first, then she could fill the pick list.  Then I can start picking.  But when most of the necessary orders are done, it was already 930.  I started to pick and finished around 1040.  But I dawdled.  There were 2 items I cannot find.  One of them was because of receiving error, should've been 16, but instead, the record showed 61.  The other one just plainly gone.  I think it's still receiving error, but this time it's worse kind of culprit, put in the wrong tray and lost forever...  I was so mad that I even told the new lady to dive in the trays with me, to search for the lost item.  She looked at me with a crazy stare...  Looking at a mad man.  

I am a bit mad, I feel this time, she's not coming back.  not coming back.  I keep telling myself.  doesn't it happen quite often enough now that it should be numb!  Le sigh...

By that time, the labels are already put up.  We just need to change the invoices.  it's about 1230.  The lady asked me if she could go to lunch first. I said sure, I can change the invoices.  After lunch break, we  could do the packing.  I think the real problem is starting time is too late.  But why was it this late?  I think I have trouble distinguishing the priority of orders or customer questions.  

Ideally, the pick should start at 830.  Then the lady could start invoicing.  If she finished invoicing before I finished picking, then she could start some orders, and then do an add on list, then invoicing the add on list.  By the time I picked the add on list, the lady would ideally finishing invoicing, and start to do the box, and or print datasheets.  The time should be around 10, which she could start aliquotting, and me printing labels.  the ideal finishing time is before 1130.  Then 30 minutes around packing.  

I think tomorrow, I will start with the most important ones, hoping to finishing them before 845.  

I will also tell the lady to start the list, then, invoicing, then some orders if before 915.  then another round of invoicing.  The other emails will have to wait after the shipping.
