Shitty.

Ever since I've been in this morning at 11, I've not had a chance to do much. Here was my plan for today: Get in, make coffee, call all the drivers & jobs for this weekend so I wouldn't be barraged with calls all day like previous days and last Saturday.

What actually happened. Got in, made coffee, was about to start calling people to confirm things but get interrupted by my boss (not Bruce Springsteen) calling to tell me things I already know. Tony, our vehicle guy/driver calling to confirm things for his jobs today. Sean calling back to tell me things I already know. Tony calling to tell me that he forgot his job information. Sean to tell me more stuff I already know. Tony telling me that the interstate is backed up. Customers calling to confirm pick-ups for later today. Drivers calling to confirm pick-ups today. Tony calling me to tell me he's at his pick-up. Tony calling to tell me the job should be a white car and me telling him to tell the lady it's never a confirmed color for the low rates we offer to help with our availability. If they definitely need a certain color, we charge way more. While I'm on this call, two other drivers are calling to get a phone number for a later pick-up, which is totally unneccessary, and the other telling me about his job last night which I don't need to know about. Reason being for that is I don't do charges, and Tony takes care of the cars which is why we have him, so we don't have to deal with the drivers. Me not wanting to do anything else today because my entire plan is ruined. More calls coming in. I've been here for two hours.
