Day 7 11 Apr 20

By | 11 Apr 20

First up, wished our good school-friend happy birthday.  She was born between Polly and I, always made it easy to remember, if that’s not too thoughtless of me.  I decided that I can’t be bothered with my birthday any more; just another day.

The distribution hub was good today, lots of new volunteers too.  It was a bright sunny day and so I did the induction outside; a bit like being back in primary school.  Once inside they took to the jobs like ducks to water…I’m in no doubt that it is mainly due to their enthusiasm, but I would like to think that the hard work of the team takes a good slice of the credit too though.

We (they) zipped through the work, and so we (I) got a good chance to clear down on some OCD; That crate is a couple of boxes short of a full load.  The ready use PPE needs to be in the same colour boxes.  Why do we have a whiteboard for only 2 of the three lines?  That table is not 2 metres away.  Eventually I do stop.
So satisfying when complete though.

End of week one; 1,025 meals, 835 snack packs, 33 5-day home packs, 10,000 Easter eggs and 18,600 Hot X Buns.
Not bad considering this time last week, our distribution hub was an empty WW2 hangar…
