Day two-hundred-two

I'm at my last break at work. It's been an unusual day to say the least. It hasn't been busy, to the point that we were standing around for a while waiting for something to happen.

We had a huge order of 3000 cards that had to be thrown out and will be reprinted for a later date. The folder passed them through his machine in such a way that caused most of them to be visibly damaged. I was briefly made to sort through them to see if I could find any "good" ones. The few I found that were "good" would be better considered "salvageable"; in a better batch of work, they would've been thrown away. One manager tried to see if the edges could be cut to even them out, but it was discovered that it would've created an uneven border on the front of the card. As such, all 3291 cards are now resting in a recycling bin.

Nobody likes to throw away a job. It's such a waste of time and resources to do that.



My co-worker Christina asked for prayer. Her sister-in-law's father is in the hospital in the ICU. He had surgery but is doing poorly; the urgency with which her sister-in-law was asked to come to the hospital suggests that her father's time is limited. It's 11:00 pm as I write this and sister-in-law is on her way to the hospital in Las Vegas. Keep her in your prayers.
