Do you love your work the way we do? When you work with joy, you like to share your impressions with everyone. Therefore, we decided to tell you the way our working days are being developed and posted a rubric “This is a typical day in the life of our colleague”. Today, the main character is Irina Chernitsyna, Warehouse Manager of NANOLEK Biomedical Facility.  She is cheerful and benevolent, but at the same time, strict and responsible. Irina is one of those managers who won’t allow you to fool around.

Make yourselves comfortable, we will spend a day with Irina: from sunrise right through to sunset of working responsibilities. So…
“The morning begins in the warehouse at 8 am with a 5-minute briefing with the staff to discuss plans for the day. At the same time, I hold a pre-shift occupational health and safety briefing. In addition, it is necessary to walk round the “possession”: inspect equipment, racks, cold warehouses, ensure everything is functioning properly. If necessary, I immediately take steps to fix any failures.

I get to my office desk at about 8:30 and start planning business hours specifically. I believe that the warehouse should be run like clockwork, without fails, smoothly and efficiently. I do my best to reach the goal.  A capable manager is not the one who wants to be in control and/or to do the job by oneself, but someone who skillfully distributes it for the staff members.

Time flies during working hours, and soon enough, it is lunch break. During lunch, you can chat about unrelated matters with your colleagues: about life, children, news, and hobbies. After lunch, time passes even faster:  Before you know it, it’s time to go home.

My husband and children are waiting for me at home. I help my children with their homework, listen to funny (and not so funny) stories that happened during the day, do the cooking … In addition, I go to the swimming pool a couple of times a week (it alleviates stress, by the way), and read some professional  books and belles-letters. Well, sometimes I wonder, why is there only 24 hours in a day? I realize that planning of working hours and family life is “be-all and end-all.”
