Tuesday and it has brought an explanation of what went wrong yesterday with the order for six one hundred and ninety seven litre tubs of proprionic acid and why I delivered only four.  In my tickets was a reprint which compromised the full order for the customer again and this time the number of drums was stated as six.  Obviously the reprinted ticket and the original ticket were both in circulation and I had been given the first ticket to load but our TC had confirmed the amended order which was for four tubs of said chemical.  For a change not my fault nor the fault of the warehouse staff, yet another example of how poor our computer system is.  But all of that is beside the point, back to the days work.  Carlton store and five drops, the last being the biggest and a mill drop, six tonnes for a firm in Gilberdyke and a collection from the same place.  I couldn't picture the second to last drop, though the name seemed to ring a distant bell.  One of the warehouse staff knew roughly were the drop was and I thought I knew.  On approaching the farm I remembered why the name was familiar, one of my long time friends used to own the place.  Sometimes I think my memory is failing and at others I realise its just that I have a lot more experiences to remember than I had twenty years ago, pity I can't add a second memory stick.  The day went well and other than solving the mystery of the incorrect order there was nothing particularly remarkable about the day.  I had a small delay whilst finding someone to weigh me in at the final delivery but other than that everything went well.  I was back in time to unload and park up.  I'm off work for the next three days so I'll see you on Monday.
