Life Flows On

This week has been particularly busy and stressful. My colleague has been away but work has really taken off as we have won some major new accounts. In addition I've had a few problems with people not doing what they should do.

One problem we have is that hauliers from a certain country who don't do what they promise, don't return calls and don't think that it's important to do the opposite of what is wanted. What has really caused problems is that 2 have decided not to follow the instructions that all our drivers have to adhere to.

I have spent a few hundred pounds having handling procedures translated into almost every major European language. Failure to follow could cause damage ranging from $100k to $1.5m. Then they wonder why we get upset when they do something wrong.

Today is of course Good Friday and a public holiday. Which is why I was at work at 8 this morning trying to catch up.
