I can count


Well I suppose that I will update again since Jeremy and Zachary are harassing me to do so. I will tell you how my last two weeks have gone since I last updated. It goes like this 1 2 3...20 21 22 23...60 61 62. We did inventory this last week and it made for alot of counting and alot of late hours. What we thought would take only the weekend actually took exactly a week. We worked every day until nine and a few days until midnight. If you have ever been in a scrapbook store you know how many little things there are to count. I think we ended with a little over 6000 products for a total of 200,000 pieces. Luckily we bought a paper counter so we didn't have to count every single piece of paper. We also had to enter every product in the computer because we have never used a computer at the store before or been on the scan system. We used an old school cash register in the past. Now that everything is in the computer it is much easier. And all my hard work this past week paid off because when I got to work on Monday my boss told me that I get a day off with pay. So I will take advantage of it on next Monday and Zachary and I will have the day off together. We had a great visit with Katie this last weekend and although it short I guess you can say it was still sweet. Since I didn't take any pictures while she was here you can pretend that this is from last weekend.

Ahh yes, good times! Everybody loves it when they get beans on their shoulders! I had fun with the Bean being here and I am stoked about your day off with pay!

Thanks for posting again. Do you have any clue what the movie was about that the rest of us watched while you were posting this?

Wow, Redding suddenly looks a lot like England. :) I am really stoked I got to stay with y'all even if it was just short and sweet.
That's AWESOME that you get a paid day off. I hope you enjoy Z's last day off work together.

Wow! That was sum story. You can add it to your arsenal of tales. I know you are count-ing the days until a day off. Total-ly cool.

That sounds almost more boring than I can imagine. I'm glad that y'all got to hang out with Bean.

That sounds like fun. At least you get a paid day off out of this.

I like your abacus! I've never had to do an inventory but once I had to audit the Baylor Computer store's inventory records. That involved counting a a select few items not all items in the store!

I can't think of anything interesting to say, but I did read the 182 words on your post and am glad counting is not involved in my job -- oh, wait, it is.

Hey, you looked really nice on Wednesday, the pink shirt with the pink hair thing and the capris. Fabulous! Thought I would throw that out there.
