Today's been freakin' crazy. One of the team leaders at the dealership took a week vacation this week, so he wasn't in. Then just after we opened that team's service writer went home "sick." Where sick is a euphemism for "pissed off." So now we're 2 people short. A little after that, the one parts guy shows up late for the eleventy billionth time. John, the parts manager, has a little closed door chat with him. Then he leaves. For the last time.
Down 3 people, and it's not even 9am yet... Today's gonna be a fun one.So they call in one of the service writers who usually has off today to cover for Randy who went home. Of course he's not happy to come in on his day off. But whatever.
Now, there's been rumors going around for a few weeks that there was going to be major changes made in the service, sales and parts departments. Some of which had already taken place. The sales lot attendant, Broc, told me 3 weeks ago that the detail company we contracted out to was going to get released from their contract, and that they were going to put him in charge of detail, with 2 other guys they'd hire. I was going to get moved to parts as the delivery/pick-up driver, and someone new would take my job of shop attendant (a polite way of saying janitor).
Well, turns out he was wrong. Totally. Sales found another detail company that would supply them with a lot attendant. But what about Broc? He was going to move into my job, and I'd end up working in parts as either a driver or working retail sales.
But then sales decided to keep the company we have now. So that threw a big wrench into everyone's plans. As it's panned out, Broc will be getting my job. And I'm moving into parts working at the parts desk and in the shop taking orders for parts from the techs, ordering the parts, and delivering them to the techs upon arrival.
As for detail? Who knows. Who cares. Screw 'em. Cause I just got a $4,000 a year raise with bonuses on top of that. Down side is I'll be working a lot more hours. 9.5 a day 5 days a week, and every third Saturday.
Yay for me. And I'm having a Captain and Coke tonight in honor of a fallen comrade, Jerry. He was our token black guy. And we loved him. He will be missed. Jerry, this one is for you, buddy. *raises glass* <3

If you need part numbers for euro parts I can supply them but that probably won't help a darn thing
