Argh ... Just Argh

Just a quick check-in today - so much that I need to do. DH is assembling and re-assembling the metal shelving that we keep all of our products on both on the main floor and the basement level. That's close to 75 individual 6 foot shelving units, each with anywhere from 6-12 shelves. The entire event rests on the fact that there are two different kinds of shelves - commercial and industrial. He's trying to match up the shelf type as much as possible. It's a JOB! 




All of our backstock is kept on industrial shelving very simlar 
to this, in bins very similar to those in the photo. That's 1000's 
of small items, collected together with others and organized 
so that we can pull the beads the customer wants easily and 
quickly. But now we're trying to get the shelving put 
together and matched into one of the two types we have - 
industrial and commercial. It all comes down to how much 
weight they'll hold. 



I'm trying to figure out when I have time to cut the mats for the newest art pieces I want to get onto our walls to sell. I've got the frames, but one of those will have to be recut - Wednesday's agenda. I've got the mats, what I don't "got" is the time. But I need to get it - so somehow I'll make this happen. 




We're all growling at each other, while banging on steel 
shelving and helping customers. We're under a hard 
deadline to have this done, and it's taking a LOT more time 
than we had thought it would. 



I heard from an attorney I've done business with before and he recommended a different attorney to help with my paperwork. I contacted Lawyer #2 and give him the quick scoop. It's a bit out of his normal range - he works with adoptions mostly - but he'll check things out on his end and get back to me. Baby steps. I'll get there yet. *sigh* 




All I want is a "Real ID' so that I can actually 
cross the border into Canada or Mexico if I'm 
so inclined. You would think I was asking for 
the damned moon! 



So, I'm off and running. If all of you could put your thoughts and mojo towards DH finding the very large orange-handled screwdriver that he put down somewhere yesterday and that has been MIA ever since, I'd appreciate it. Right now, it looks as if it has joined the single socks in their black hole. But it's a BIG thing - very hard to miss. We're missing it - LOL. ARGH. Have an excellent Friday and I'll wrap the week up tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
