As I’ve mentioned before, my job sucks hot, sweaty monkey nuts. However, until I can find a new job, I try to keep myself occupied with extra activities to stave off insanity. Today, however, was the last straw. I work for a distribution company and we have several delivery trucks that have to go out of town. On one particular route, it was decided to put in the computer the correct routing order for each customer. Anywhere else, this is standard procedure, but we are so far behind the times, it’s ridiculous. After several sessions with the route’s salesmen, we were able to come up with a routing order. The idea being, that if the regular driver is out, a replacement driver who isn’t familiar with the route could drive it without getting lost. Well, today was to be the first time we were to use the new system. The regular driver just happened to be out and we used the new routing order. I called the saleman to let him know we were doing this and he told that he didn’t think that was a good idea!!! WTF??? I worked my ass off on this project!! When I asked the salesman why he said what he did, he told me that the routing info he had given me was NOT the correct delivery order, but the order in which he would call on the customers!!! This all went down about five hours ago and I am still pissed.
This is the absolute end of my attempts to drag this company kicking and screaming into the '70’s.
Sorry, if this rambles, but I had to get it out before I explode.
At the first of the year, I am going to get a new job even if it means taking a pay cut. I HAVE TO GET OUT!!!
