I spent my day organizing myself at work. I got an idea and ran with it. Nothing feels better than feeling in control by tying up loose ends and knowing what's what. I figure that this feeling will last until maybe 10am tomorrow! I may have been motivated to make my workplace run more smoothly by watching the employees on the loading dock at American Furniture Warehouse this last weekend. Talk about a well greased machine! The forklift operators zoomed into the aisles of stacked furniture, zoomed back out with the item, dropped it on the loading dock for pickup and then zoomed back for more. The workers on the dock assisted the customers with backing up their cars without causing major damage to themselves or the building and then helped them load their purchases. I could not believe the items they succeeded in stuffing into cars. One customer declared, "oh it will fit" but I had severe doubts. Since one of the workers she had said this to was within earshot I asked him how often he heard this remark. "All day long," was his reply! I was very impressed with how hard and how efficiently all of the employees worked...Jake Jabs would have been proud!
Mountains of furniture!
Believe it or not there is a couch in the back plus they got this huge rug in too!
