Slow News Day Tomorrow

slow news day tomorrow...slow news day tomorrow...slow news day tomorrow...slow news day tomorrow...slow news day tomorrow...

Ironically, the question of whether or not to order in more raw materials to build up inventory ended up solving itself when I realized one of the raw materials - which I have to order from a third party - wouldn't get here in time so I'm limited by how much of that I currently have. And it turns out I have enough to make about another 300 units which is what all my other raw materials will make. So I opted to simply focus the next two days in my production space on getting those 300 or so units made and then that's it.

And while two more really busy days will be good for me - and hopefully the business will continue with retail orders - I actually only have two more days in my production space this year. Truthfully it's a good thing too. It's that time of year when all of us in the production space are grumpy, tired, overworked, and basically just on one another's nerves. Like a family who has spent too much time together, we're driving one another crazy and need some time apart. Wednesday is my last day in the space and I'm as yet undecided whether or not I'll also take January off (not off from work - just off from my production space) partially to save money and partially to conserve my sanity. We'll see, a few days off and I'll likely be singing a different tune.

In the meantime....slow news day tomorrow...slow news day tomorrow...slow news day tomorrow...
