i work for a publishing company. this container was shipped to here, and arrived on friday. but, this morning, one of my supervisors by accident, dispatched it out to singapore. the container for singapore is still here! he has been given a performance issue, and is still pending some further action. the problem is, i need to recover this container, and still dispatch the singapore one, without blowing out the budget. and well, its just not going to happen. hasnt left the country yet, its just going to be a rather large fuck up. |

*agrees with jamesa* Do a mental rewind, dude. It will come back to you. |

wait, so it sounds like you didn't fuck up as much as you could save the day! supervisor fucked up, so there is a large container somewhere in the country full of books destined for SIngapore! Looks out, an out of controls container full of knowledge!!!!! Run!!!! |
||||||||

Well it's not your fault mate. You can't be blamed for someone else sending it off to fucking Singapore! You're trying to do what you've been asked but if it's not possible then it's not possible. Tell them that as well if they start giving you shit. |

sorry to hear about it, hang in there hepburnenthorpe! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah, but the supervisor is my responsablility. just goes up the line till they find a head to hang. bassically, anything comming in or out of here is my responsability. |
||||||||

keep yourself up , man shit happens remember - worrying more and more will not solve this problem - try to concentrate and think intensive - : the situation is ( as you say ) - youre fucked. now - this is what you know , for now. look at this like someone else - " what would i do " then think again. if you have some time for this - this is the way , i think it works with me i will keep my thumbs on ya |

I just want to point out that your avatar is very appropriate for your state of mind right now. |
||||||||

agree the worse case scenario though, is your container goes to Singapore, and it costs a couple grand to get it back. THey will open it there, and go WTF???? then you have then return to sender. that's the worst. -------- course, vandals could break in and burn all the books. that would be a bit worse. |

fucking relief! turning out to be quite the funny story really. ive located the container, and should even be able to get it up here on favours. the funny part is. last week, i had this same said supervisor issue a warning to the transport company stating something allong the lines of "in the future, our shipments are not to go to your hold yard, but are to be despatched straight to the shipyard". well, it now appears that the company ignored this statement (or the driver ) and took our container to there yard. and was going to take it to the docks in the morning. this is awesome news for us, as once it gets to the docks theres all sorts of legalitys that can come into play, aswell as some quarantine precedures, that could have meant days and $. instead, its sitting in a truck yard in sydney, and i should be able to get it back up here and swapped over first thing in the morning for little extra cost. lovely, i can breathe again. poor steve (the super) i dont think will be so lucky. |

hahaha SHIT glad it turrned out ok. |

unforunately blatent. it costs a bit more than a few grand to send a container to singapore. around $40k and then id have to get it back, and still swap it. if it had of left the country, my only profitable option would have been to locate a buyer. |

this calls for a celebration ! ;) |

|
|
oh crap! well, sounds like all turned out well then your supervisory is going to be fired you think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you will make it!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, he wont be fired. but its still got me fucked how he could have done it. the containers all have rego numbers, and they have to be checked against all sorts of paperwork. its not like sending a fedex parcel. we might need to look into hes abilitys. ive only been in this position for around 12 mnths, and he has my old pos. i dont know what he was doing. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
lol, yeah, that's a big package to misplace/ship to the wrong country :D so, what kind of books is it anyway? I mean, is it like a container full of Harry Potter?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
you guys are cool. i was stressing so hard, and of course all the people around here are so bussiness focussed. i just wanted to say "what the fuck?" but its a little hard when you have a finance manager saying he wont budge the budgets. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, fuck that, managers need to be flexible. Shit happens, and it's your job to make it right, but sometimes things have to bend, not break! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it was four titles in the deltora quest series. kids books. funny enough i dont even know what they look like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sure is a lot of books. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a big fucking container too jeebus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, 64 pallets of 1244 books. about 20,000 of each book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These stupid managers. They all have contingencies that they know that eventually they'll have to deal with, but up until they do, they have to be such hard-asses about it. It makes them feel cool. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yarrrrrrrrr! Glad it's all good now mate :) |
||||||||
|
|
