I think tonight's post is going to be short. With my DMV appointment on Saturday, I need the time to review the handbook when I get home. If I want any choice of posting this on time, it needs to be written briefly and early. I'm not too worried about the DMV appointment, though. As I review the handbook, stuff starts coming back that I've forgotten. All those things about signs and legal turns that everyone with a license is supposed to know but nobody seems to think about. I think I'll be alright.

Today being Thursday, once again, we are overwhelmed with work. Today marks the first time I've ever told a manager that I didn't think we could get everything out on time. He had come looking for someone to help out with lacking in offset printing. I had to tell him that we couldn't spare anything and that we were already short handed ourselves.
…
I'm home now, and about two and a half hours past that last paragraph. Fortunately, we got some much-needed help from a couple of other packers and were jus barely able to get everything out for today. I think the whole company (at least on the production side) is starting to feel the pinch.
Apparently, quite a number of people didn't show up today. I think I'm not the only one now who's realized how much busier we are on Thursdays than any other day. Also, digital's new third-shift cutter, Isaac, came in tonight long enough to quit. One of our cutters on second shift, Manny, thought he was kidding until he started walking away. I admitted that I've seriously thought about doing that myself, but that I wouldn't quit until I had something else to fall back on.
I joked that if I found another job tomorrow, they wouldn't see me on Monday. Lord knows I'm tempted to do that.
