I have not had much time of late, working 10 hour days and trying to do the items the teenagers need to keep the house running in my absence. I have no fewer than six or so random topics saved as potential blog entries but so far… no time to sit and write.
Teenager #1 fed the cats this morning and made my coffee. Nala is screaming for attention and her breakfast.
At our weekly meeting on Wednesday— the powers that be told us that 75% of the inventory in our warehouse was already styled out by the Stitch Fix stylists. Our mandatory overtime is being used to restock our inventory so we can keep sending fixes to our clients.
Wednesday was the day I ended up doing two hours binning on the “rack project.” We are increasing the capacity of the warehouse by moving from a single tier to a double tier system.
Then I did an eight-hour shift in inbound processing, where I spent the first 90 minutes finishing the hanging of day shift’s work and the rest of the night hanging and tagging three sizes of Just USA black skinny jeans (9” rise if you are interested).
Last night I did all ten hours in women’s returns processing which was fun in multiple capacities.
- It didn’t involve folding.
- I got to slice open packages.
- I saw what people decided to keep and what they sent back.
- I studied the differences between day shift and my shift and how the warehouse functions as an assembly line when at peak staffing. Fascinating.
Who knew logistics could be so fun?
