Label printing

Today is a very quiet day here in the factory. It's Saturday and I've got the place to myself. During the week it feels like I make 2 steps forward, then 1 or 2 or 3 steps backward. It's not a bad thing, but the issue of the moment requires attention and it's hard to make progress on things that require some prolonged attention. Today all my steps are forward.

The most interesting thing I did today was print labels. We need barcode labels for our various colors of ice cream ball. In an attempt to get ahead of the curve, I printed enough for a few months today. All told, 22,000 labels in a couple of hours. I used the new label printing machine on loan from a salesman. If he can get the machine to do a couple of other tricks I'll buy it from him.
