At Least They Don't Expire

Tori spent a few days at the house before leaving for the summer. While she was hear, I was wigging out about my first wholesale order.

I have followed a backlink from my site to their database earlier and found my listing. The person hosting the purchase stated that four of any single pattern had to be purchased. Then, a few days later, I followed another back link and came across an actual spread sheet.

On the spreadsheet, there were totals next to seven of my patterns, with numbers ranging from 4-6.

My concern was, what if each number represents a set of four? So instead of having to put together four patterns, I need to put together sixteen? I whined about not knowing in advance, about how much time it would take, the fear of running out of supplies mid-order and having to wait for them to be shipped to me.

Tori asked why I didn't go back out to the site and check more closely for information. I had tried to, the backlink was no longer available and I could'nt find the info I needed at all.

Then she says, "So, go ahead and start making them up now. It's not like their going to expire."

Duh!

So, as soon as I dropped Steve off at the airport, I started printing out orders. I didn't remember how many of which pattern was sold so I assumed six orders of each pattern; and that each order was times four.

It took me the better part of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and part of Monday to finish preparing over 160 complete ready to ship patterns.

And they are beautiful. Three boxes of perfectly pressed, sealed, colorful patterns ready to be shipped out.

Then this morning, when I was checking my website I had a current backlink to the spreadsheet again. I clicked over and found the order. With more time, I was able to figure out everything. Each order represents only one order, not the four I had understood it to. So, at a minimum, I have printed out and prepared THREE TIMES the amount of patterns I needed to.

Oh well, at least they don't expire.
