A calm before the storm.

My yearly final exam is over. At work we prepare for inventory all year long. About 2 months before we began focusing on it more. Then the final 2 weeks it is our primary focus. It is always a stressful time in at work. This is the first year I held a primary role in the inventory process. This year the work and effort we put into inventory was a success. I'm glad it's over. Now the problem... In order to help the inventory process, the purchasing department will hold off on orders to help reduce the amount of stock we have on hand. Now that inventory is over, these orders are being processed and shipped. Next week will not be fun. So far we have 10 full 53' semi loads, plus all the ltl loads being delivered next week. In a week or two it will be nice. We will be caught up and have time to think. At least until the temperatures drop.
