Record day for us coming Wednesday
« on: July 03, 2017, 06:05:11 PM »
For all you big timers, this would be nothing but We got an order today for 3900 shirts consisting of 4 different designs that were ordered today from a faithful customer.  The kicker is that I have to pick them up Wed morning and have them printed by that same evening.  This will be the most we've printed in one day.  I'll feel it for sure.  I'm dreading it but grateful at the same time.
It's not a job if you love doing it.

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

You know the last minute orderers.  Some of these are going to Illinois and some to S.C.  I kept waking up last night with thoughts on how to accomplish this.  Logistically, there is no way I'm going to get this done in 1 day so I'll get the Illinois shirts done first and get them on the road before I start the South Carolina order.  I may have to rent a Uhaul and drive them there myself in order to get the shirts to them on time.  They need these Monday and it's a 4 day ship.  I guess this will be my vacation this year.

I think this is a perfect way to describe that feeling we get whenever something a lot bigger than our usual comes in!
Nice guys laugh last.

I'm sure you will do fine and get it produced. Why worry the whole time? Enjoy the experience.

We didn't get the shirts until 10 this morning, then the unboxing and sorting.  We managed to get the Illinois order on its way by UPS.  I'm finished with the rest with the exception of 400 which we will have done by 8:00 in the morning.  We would've finished tonight but we were about to drop.  Actually, everything went pretty smoothly.

That's how it goes but you hit your goal and got the Illinois order out and more. I love this business!!
