Monday mornings rise and shine song was Ironman by Black Sabbath followed my Air Hostess by Buster then it was out the door at 5:45 am to be to work at 6:30.
Today was not meant to be a good day… I arrived 5 min early thinking I had just enough time to organize some of my desk and get my water bottles filled only to realize that my 3-day vacation that started the previous Thursday caused me to miss an important announcement on Friday. Everybody was to be at work at 6 am that week. Gee that was a memo that needed to be passed on.
Now I don’t know if my supervisor was just being cruel because I showed up just before 6:30 or that there was really only 2XL’s and 3XL’s coming through and the trainee’s needed to get in more work on regular sizes before they had to do a 7 piece garment in a 20 piece bundle.
Now this may seem over dramatic and all but it really isn’t. regular sizes consist of 5 pieces that I am capable of putting together quite quickly, one garment takes me 48 seconds to put together and an entire bundle (20 garments) takes me just over 18 minutes. That is great since they give us 27 minutes for the entire bundle. Well anything above a 2XL is 7 pieces and a entire different process which they only give us 40 minutes to do. I being the fastest sewer in my operation can only get them done in 38 minutes in other words I make less money and my arms ache something awful by the end of the day.
