She did something similar to me the last time I sent her a list of zip codes for new boxes.
Some of my current boxes are far away (more than 30 minutes each way). I accepted other shops based on the expectation that she would assign the weekly shops by Tuesday at the latest. Her falling even further behind than usual really messed up my schedule. So, again, something she did decreased my profit margin.
Her email today apologized and said she was giving us extra time. I REALLY hope that doesn't mean she will delay the start of future weeks' assignments.
Monday is the first business day of the week. The weekly assignments used to be assigned on Monday.
Then, she got into the habit of assigning those shops on Tuesday.
Then, she began to make mistakes, citing the wrong week in the second email or not sending the second email at all.
I don't know if Josh really meant "holiday." I am still trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and would accept that perhaps "holiday" just meant a day off. I do not wish bad things for her but perhaps something urgent happened and she really needed a day off.
I just didn't like the trend. I hope, by not waiting until Thursday to assign the shops, she is getting better.
I am sorry if I am rambling. I am exhausted. I had about 5 hours of sleep last night and then had a 12-hour shopping day today. Some of my shops have a 12-hour reporting window. So, I can't even go to bed now.
I will not ask other schedulers to reschedule my shops because of her.

EVERYTHING you said is how I feel, you said it better. She asked me to open new boxes and I sent her an email with zip codes over three weeks ago. I have heard nothing. I think a heads up about this week's collection would have been in order. As you said this is easy money but sometimes I get so frustrated with her I just want to quit. I've been doing this for many years and never has the entire project been put on hold because of a 'holiday'. Josh did answer my email this morning and said she was on 'holiday' and would be back tomorrow. She's going to be so far behind she may never catch up. GRR!!!!!!
