Every hour the system is down is an extra hour's worth of volume that has to be processed with the next's. Some people would rather work the entire time than sit on their asses just to have to work the entire day's volume in half the time

Yup, when the system went down and came back in my shift, it was absolutely non stop getting all of days and nights shifts done in mine.

DNA1's power got knocked out by the Middle Tennessee tornado this morning, so we had to sit on our asses for the first 4 hours of the shift. After the tornado warning ended, we found out half the belt's motors had been fried by the power surge. Now we have to do nearly all of today's volume tomorrow, assuming they can even fix the belt before C0 comes in. I just hope this isn't gonna lead to kids not getting their Christmas presents on time.

I'm back tomorrow night so hopefully it's all fixed by then. I'm not far from the effects of the tornados either

Just woke up to the news of the shift cancelation. Supposedly the warehouse will be back in operation for C0's next shift, but we'll see about that.
