Aie!

Okay, I found the beads again. See, I went to get them this morning (actually, mostly charms) and I couldn't find the bag from yesterday. I distinctly remembered dropping it in one of the other bags (but not which one) and then bringing them all in. It should be here.

It wasn't. Or rather, I was dead sure it was, but I could not FIND it. Note that I only got $10 or so worth of beads. As anyone who beads can tell you - unless you're buying seed beads (I wasn't), that's not a lot of bulk. If you're buying really fancy stuff (I also wasn't) it might be just a single item or two.

And I had to find it. Aie. It was in the bag from bimart, under the dental gum, when I tracked it down. Geesh.

I need to set up a storage center for my beads, again. A better one than I have now. If I'm going to take it up again...well, disorganized beading supplies are NOT a happy thing. As I have just AMPLY proved.

I hate getting behind.

I hate getting caught up from getting behind, even more. I staff on a couple sites. I buildstaff on any site where I staff at all. I don't enjoy roleplay-staff positions; and while I'm a decent coder, I program all day during the week. It's not a hobby to come home and do it some more, unless it's a feature I really want!

So I haven't been getting inspections done quickly enough on one site, and today I'm trying to get caught up. *groans* *sighs* It's my own fault. I insist that we actually have quality building, and that makes inspections a lot more work. Makes the end result a lot cleaner, though.

At least I'm getting the work level worn down. Two builds approved, three more to inspect. (Well, four, but I can hardly inspect my OWN work.... Hopefully someone else will pick that item up! :)

(no subject)

Actually, that wasn't so bad. For one thing, it wasn't as tiring/depressing, because the building I was inspecting was really good, and most of it got approved (and the rest came close). And now I'm all caught up. This is good.

Umm...we have storage, Houston.....

Never turn me loose in a storage shop. Never, never, never. Not even with a goal.

It wasn't that expensive.... Considering what I got, anyway. Hoo boy.

I have a rolling card with three shelves. The shelves are metal and let me see what's on them pretty well. I have a bunch of plastic containers ranging from large (I'm going to put tubes of seed beads in here) to tiny (1-inch spaces). They stack very nicely on the shelves of the cart. I have a tray (originally a "dinner tray" in cheap faux-wood with a white plastic bottom. Inch and a half lip; where the handles are, the opening is 3/4 inch up from the bottom.

This is GREAT for beads. It also fits PERFECTLY on the top shelf of the cart..... And the lovely thing is, if I get bored with beading, I take the plastic containers away, stack them in my crafts room, and stack whatever I AM obsessed with on the cart. Want to work on current project? Haul down the tray - I'll have left it there - and work on it in my chair. Done with it? Deposit back on cart, no problem.

I think I'm in love. Slightly poorer, but in love....

Now, wish for me that this works as well as I think it will, but it LOOKS good. I should be able to see everything by moving no more than one container, mostly by moving none, snag what I want, and deposit it in the tray. This should work really well.

Here's hoping it does.

Do I gotta?

It's getting near time for me to go to bed. Tomorrow I go to work, and I get the pager back.

I'm still sorting beads. I'm not even NEAR done, of course, but I didn't expect to be. But I want to stay up, and chat with my friends, and sort beads!

Oh, well. Tomorrow's another day. And I plan to be awake for it.

Hee.
