I need you to understand that we use an inventory system. It's not like we're just totally winging it. We have a system. So WHY did we only bring HALF the books??? This is the most ridiculous supply chain and we are on our way back down to the storage center to go get the other half of the shipment...UGH. We are currently in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, no where near anything, with not even a shark to look at. We're not that far from the Bermuda Triangle though, so I guess THAT'S FUN. I'm going to find out which one of you is responsible for this, and I'm going to make you read Paradise Lost as a punishment.
Fun Fact: Multiple assessments by researchers, Lloyd's (the shipping insurance people who are not going to like us), and the US Coast Guard have found that the Bermuda Triangle does not have a higher rate of sunken ships/planes than any other part of the ocean. So at least we're not going to disappear, unlike the other half of the shipment we were supposed to deliver.
