A Tale of 4000 Flashlights
I am pooped....
Its 11:30 in the morning, and I feel like I have put in a whole day of work. I just spent the last 3 hours coordinating this big "Flashlight Assembly" project for work. They are going to be distributed Sunday in conjuction with a bible 'fundraiser' or something. I am too tired to explain...
A recap:
18 Senior Saints, 23 Yard Apes [8th and 9th Graders :)], 4 Staff, 85 shipping boxes, 20 empty packing boxes, 16 plastic storage containers, 4,000 flashlights, and 1 big headache. I spent the morning mentally counting and recounting stacks [my running conversation: "ok....let's see....that's 1,000 to CPH....72 to a box, so that group needs 13 boxes plus 2 small inner boxes and then....."....you get the idea... :P] , dragging boxes full of flashlights, lifting, carrying, and making sure my counts weren't messed up. And all of this while wearing "business casual office attire". It was quite the circus. I got rather 'dirty' and hot and sweaty. Somewhere along the way I injured my foot, so now I'm limping a little....and my arms are sore....and my pants have chaulky white stuff on them....and my feet stink.... :P BLAH!
Ah! Sigh of relief that the worst is over! :)

This would've been the perfect excuse for a "jeans day." Be sure to exploit that next time!
Aren't GIGANTIC CHURCHES fun???
well, I didn't know I was going to physically do that much work. It was supposed to be one of those 'get everything set up, show them how it works, and leave' things, but didn't end up that way.
Mega church....
