When I worked at Laura Ashley (remember them?) inventory was a company wide affair. Everybody congregated in the warehouse, including all the office people who normally never set foot in there, and we were paired off and given clipboards. It was still just before electronic counting gizmos, so we counted by hand. Twice a year. For a week. Uphill both ways.
In some ways our inventory was a nice change of pace. The office people got to see that what we did wasn’t as brainless as they thought- and for some it was the most work they did all year. And we had no orders to fill or trucks to load (though I didn’t do that anyway.)

Right now, it looks like Jay wants to be anything but Jay. Look at the bright side. Succeed and Rita may give you a bonus.

This IS Rita. She’ll see how much work it is, and double the workload…or think it’s easy and double the workload.
