Ordnung muss sein

So this morning at dawn the delivery arrived. All the equipment, catalogues and stuff I am to deliver tomorrow and/or on Friday. It was a tad more than I had expected actually, and quite overwhelming.

However, I am a person who likes to put things in order so I started using the methodology the teacher told us yesterday. That went down the drain immediately, when I realized that we yesterday sorted only a few piles.

After a quick smoking break I went on it again, sorting into piles. Every delivery has a number, where the three last ones indicates where it comes on your round. So I made 13 piles, one from 1-10, 11-20 and so forth up to 127. Then I sorted each individual pile so that everything comes in order. I found two in the wrong place, who knows how many I'll find tomorrow? Which means I will then have to go back and lose time.

Then came the task of putting it into the boxes I got in an order that makes sense.

And yes I know you're not supposed to put it on the floor (maybe other people have dirty floors?), but 90% of it were in plastic and I don't have a table big enough.

And I gotta admit, that trolley is heavy like a person, which it indeed is if you weigh 62 kg's. There is no way I can get that thingie down the stairs and up again in the tunnel to get to my starting point. So I either have to make a longer round, schlepping that trolley after me, or make it in two rounds.

This company certainly makes you work for the (little) money. I have a totally newfound respect for postmen. On the other hand, they usually have a vehicle.
