The great unboxing! Now with captions.

[synecdochic]

A box from the Lab and a box from the Trading Post:


They've started sending large orders packed in flats and wrapped with clingfilm rather than bubble-wrapping them in rows. I was dubious at first, but I'll admit that it's certainly faster to unwrap. And, I'm guessing, faster to wrap, which is probably why orders are getting out the door much faster this year than last year.


This is half the order:


Halfway through labelling. I am so fucking glad that I wrote out all the top-of-bottle labels ahead of time; it made it really quick to unpack and do inventory, and it meant I didn't have to count individual bottles and check them against the invoice. Which was a benefit, because this circle was spread out over four invoices. All I had to do was make sure each of the little dots got onto the right bottles!


I'm also really, really glad that I was vigilant in color-coding. It helped a lot to make sure that I kept things in order. This is all of the Lils, all of the Fatherhoods, and all of the Weenies. (The add-ons are to the right, out of the frame; those all got the same colored dots.)
