Orders and More

Day 18 of my breast cancer awareness selfie project!  It's a busy Monday morning in The Pink Ribbon Shop's warehouse in Porter, Texas.  Lots of pink ribbon stuff going out to customers all over the country!  What happens is this... Every day, our online orders are electronically "imported" into our order processing program.  Payments are electronically processed, then a "pick list" is generated.  The pick list is a list of all of the items in the orders being filled that day.  Each line item identifies that product's location in the warehouse, designated first by letter of shelving or storage bin unit (A-Z, then AA-ZZ,) and then shelf or drawer number.  Since the items are listed in the order they are organized in our warehouse, this makes the "picking" as efficient as possible.  Then the orders are printed:  a customer copy which will be included with their shipment, and a "file" copy for our records.  The products for the day's orders are (neatly) piled atop our giant order-filling table, and the items are labeled, bagged, folded, etc.  And finally, each order is boxed up, weighed, and labeled for shipping.  This entire process is repeated as many times a day that we can squeeze in before our postal carrier and UPS driver arrives.  That's it, in a nutshell!  In case you were ever wondering how we do such a bang-up job at getting orders out so quickly.

Today I'm wearing a New Balance Lace Up for the Cure long-sleeved athetic tee, one with all the bells and whistles for you active people.  (And for gals like me who like to look all sporty, but who really aren't anymore.)  Moisture-wicking, reflectivity, flat inner seams, you name it!  Here's a link to the NB "Accelerate" tees, if you're interested:  http://www.pinkribbonshop.com/search.aspx?find=accelerate+tee.

 



Shout out to Lisa (pictured in background,) our faithful employee of many years!  And there's Danny back there, too.  He's been running "The Shop" for quite some time now since I've been sick. 

And geeeez.  My apologies about my neck.  So bony and just eww.  And the forehead.  So big.  Uggh!

Thanks for reading.  You go out and have a great day today!
