Round One: Jake 1, Popcorn 0

So I survived the Show and Deliver popcorn pick-up this last weekend. It really was not that bad. The warehouse was interesting being probably 70+ years old in parts and that the office (which I avoided) smells like a really dirty litter box. There had also been a recent accident involving activated charcoal powder (for water filters) that left a gritty black dust everywhere.

The only really irritating part of the project was when the second semi did not arrive when it was supposed to. As I was waiting for it to come I received a call from the driver saying he would be really late and could he come Saturday. Had I been telepathic his head would have exploded when he said that. As it was I had to settle with a crisp rebuttal. Thankfully it showed up in time for the volunteers to show up for staging.

Besides the trucks, we set a new record (in this district) for staging the product--just over 1 hour and had everything cleaned up and all of the helper units product gone in 2 1/2 hours. The scheduling that was greeted with skepticism worked beautifully. Hopefully the next round will go as well minus the delivery issues.
