Welcome to #SublimeSunday , a tag presenting you with the unique opportunity to post something a bit different, wacky, crazy or just whatever takes your fancy and instigated by me @c0ff33a ☕️
First up though is a #beautifulsunday (hosted by @ace108) photo with a #funkyedit (hosted by @krazypoet) with Saturation to the Max.
It's been awesome weather in the UK over the last week, blue skies and sun - really warm for the time of year. Of course being in lockdown over Coronavirus we are all supposed to stay isolated - but the warm weather has been too much temptation for some - the Police have been busy dispersing crowds in parks and beauty spots. No problem for me though, I've just been stuck inside working all work - and it's turning into mission impossible as orders have eclipsed the busiest days in the run up to Christmas - and I told all the staff to stay home to reduce Coronavirus spread - so basically I'm doing everything on my own.
And I have even been working today Sunday, packing orders ready for the Hermes to collect in the morning. Plus dropping off local orders like this one in Halifax.
Proof of work, my collection of parcels from todays work. It might not look like much, but you have to remember for many of those boxes I had to roast the coffee, pack it into bags, print the front and back labels, apply the labels and heat seal the bags, put them into boxes and seal them, and then apply the shipping label after I produced that...doing four people's work on your own makes it a very slow process.
But that is the way it could be for months at the moment, the orders are rolling in all the time and I'm just going to keep on trying to ship them. The UK Government guidance has not been clear, I know there have been many employees complaining they have been told to work or face being sacked even though they don't feel the business they are working for is essential. I decided to tell my employees to stay home on full pay - pending being able to recover that under the Government furloughed workers scheme - because I felt it was the right thing to do for them. I can control what happens to me and therefore the business - I'm isolated and so is it. Every person that comes in or out other then that is a potential risk - and I have no idea what my staff are doing outside work. Two carriers a day come to collect at the moment - I push a pallet out of the warehouse to them and they scan the boxes and load them on their van. We keep a safe distance. It's as isolated as I can make it, I use antibacterial hand wash and gel all the time, and between home and work I do nothing. I haven't been anywhere outside either for weeks in fact.
So my days for the near future are just going to be flat our processing orders and shipping them, who knows how this will all end but for sure those of us that come out on the other side without loosing the lives of loved ones will be lucky.
And a #funkyedits to finish, stay safe, keep isolated - think happy thoughts and smile at the flowers.
