    Behind the Scenes: The Great Inventory Count

    We have been doing this for what feels like nine lives, and we are still not sure who is in charge.

    The old guard prefers a warehouse mostly made of boxes. The new guard prefers whatever is on the other side of the door.

    The Short Version, Told Slowly

    Naturally there was a committee. Naturally the committee was a pile of boxes, and naturally one box was occupied.

    Our team did a careful study. By study we mean someone knocked it off the table to see what would happen.

    Naturally there was a committee. Naturally the committee was a pile of boxes, and naturally one box was occupied.

    The Short Version, Told Slowly

    We asked a customer for feedback. They looked at us, blinked slowly, and left a single hair on the form.

    Our team did a careful study. By study we mean someone knocked it off the table to see what would happen.

    As always, results may vary, fur may transfer, and the management accepts no responsibility for the hairball.
