Efficiency

Isn’t that we are always striving to achieve in business?

Did someone miss an efficiency opportunity here? Why not eliminate all that writing, printing, folding, collating, stapling, trimming, cutting, etc. and just transfer this paper directly from the truck on the right to the truck on the left?

Break Room Upgrade?

A couple of months ago we all thought it was a great benefit when our snack vendor for our break rooms where I work diversified by adding breakfast and lunch items and a refrigerated vending machine. Items were neatly displayed and dated with a visible “rot date” and the vendor responsibly rotates old or underselling items and replaces them with new, fresh items.

This diversification is an apparent success because now our pleasant work place smells more like an international food bazaar. I love pepperoni, but having to breathe it all afternoon is a little more that I want to deal with while I’m trying create sales materials. Why can’t we all just go out for pizza, or cheeseburgers and come back with only bad breath. Now we have bad building!

Off the Beaten Path

Sometimes taking a turn off the well travelled and comfortable path is a fortunate one to take. Today it was fortunate for us. We were taking a lazy day off just enjoying riding in the sunshine and being outdoors. We’ve been looking for some extra closet space in our too much un-closeted 1950s house. We took a purposeful turn off the Crouse bypass today and ventured into the town of Crouse. The Mem’ry Lane Antique & Finds shop held just what we had been looking for.
