When operations come to a grinding halt.....

Ever hear of Murphy's Law? Well I experience everyday! But not only one thing goes wrong - lots of things go wrong!

Our workshop manager does not come to work, no one even knows where she is! She won't hand out the car papers so that we can sell that thing.

Without the manager we can't get goods shipped because she is the only one who can write and sign the invoice needed to ship the goods.

So I end up writing the invoice! Here in Germany I write an invoice for goods that need to be shipped from Jakarta to Germany. And then.... no one wants to sign the invoice. What is it with them??? Do they think they are signing off their life???

Geez...... and then: they (office and production workers) all just go home! The clock hits 5PM and they all go. No good bye or is there anything else. Gone! Do they ever stop to think that if I don't get my goods I have nothing to sell. If I have nothing to sell then I can't pay them???

No wonder some countries remain - Third World! In order for a country to develop the population needs to develop! If they always depend on others to take care of things how will they ever be independent!

Ok ... I need a coffee!
