You always learn something at every job, but sometimes you don't realize how much (and how potentially useless) until later.
When we were in the gift wrap department at Amazon we processed orders which included building the boxes they'd be shipped in. Considering the variety of items available at Amazon, we had about 15 different boxes to choose from.
So how does that entertain us now?
We've been doing a lot of shopping on Amazon so whenever we get something, we both guess at the size of the box (A1, 1AD, A3, 1A5 for the small items or N3, K3, 1A7, 1BA etc for larger).
The other day we had this conversation.
Me: That's not a 1B2. 1B2 is bigger.
Chris: The box says 1B2.
Me: Well, that's wrong.
Chris, showing me the box (again): Right here it says 1B2.
Me: Maybe they have different boxes wherever they shipped this from.
Chris: Maybe you're thinking of 1B4.
Me: Oh.
This is just sad on so many levels.
But how's the weather? I think most conversations in marriage involve such trivia--although probably not specifically boxes. It's so cool though that you and Chris can share the camper workforce experience. - Robin
ReplyDeleteIt got pretty tense at Amazon toward the end w/everyone (campers and regular Amazonians) being tired and cranky, so I was particularly glad to be working with Chris so we could help each other keep it together.
DeleteSo true about the mundane conversations...lol.
