Day 57: The Return to Storage

I had anticipated starting the day in storage, as ready as I was to get costumes out of the way I was not looking forward to going back. I dressed for the day in my storage attire, partly because we were actually going to storage and partly because I wanted to wear lacrosse shorts and a t-shirt. It wasn't until later that we made our way over.

I again, returned to my Flex suggestion letters. I keep doing them in waves of 30 to 50. One, to not hog the printer, and two licking all those envelopes leaves a not so pleasant taste in your mouth. After stuffing and sealing several more letters, I made a post office run. Nothing out of the ordinary today, just a quick drop, grab, go, and back to the office!



I had a few other projects throughout the day. First was preparing an email for Ms. Danni on a survey our patrons had taken. Also up, was logging the donations and what not that arrived in the mail. Apparently our Flex Pass letters are working! We have sold 3 Flex passes this week! However, some of the letters are coming back. Firstly because The Valley is a seasonal place, and some of the patrons are only here in the summer. Secondly because of changes in addresses. I do not understand why the post office puts the sticker with the new address on the envelope and sends it back to you. Why can't they just forward it? Now we have re do the envelopes and meter them all over again, wasting time and money. Very silly, if you ask me. As for the patrons who are temporarily away we will re-send their letters in June.

Time for storage had finally arrived. When I first got there I was surprised to find that Mr. Joe had been working in storage also, and put the shoe shelves in. Although, we were not quite ready for that they look great, and cleared up a lot of floor space where the bushels were being kept. We had two more racks to go through, and then some minor details to completely finished with costumes. We were able to eliminate one more rack! Yes! Goal reached! Now that I don't need Mr. John anymore, my next duties to finish out costumes is changing out the hangers and getting she shows and remaining floating boxes organized. If there is time I will be labeling the pans by size also. However, I still have a lot of work to do in props so the pants will have to wait!

 After Mr. John left I continued to bag all the clothes to be taken to the Barkin' Basement. Six seems to be the magical number. This will be my third trip have six bags to give them. After everything was bagged and put back in the unit, I was off for the day! Until tomorrow...
