Thanks for the report.
Here's my plan for next Thursday.
1. With the ADEC shipment out of the way, we have at least 8 skid spaces
open in the warehouse. I will move the steel and wire gaylords from the
workshop to the warehouse which will open up the workshop and make it
neater.
2. Finished FreeBoxes have been staying on the shelves in the workshop.
Once the wire gaylords are out of the workship, I can put a gaylord for
finished FB systems (FB, monitor, kybd, mouse, pwr cords) at the end of
the software install and testing tables. When the FB gaylord has enough
gear for a Title 1 class, I'll mark it, cover it with shrink wrap and
move it into the warehouse. All I am likely to accomplish on Thursday is
to get the FB gaylord installed.
3. We have a gaylord of power supplies in the workshop. If we test the
power supplies, we can store the good ones in the warehouse and move the
bad ones to the warehouse for recycling. I doubt I'll finish this task
next Thursday, but I can start the process.
4. 3-4 new volunteers tell me they intend to show up next Thursday. Phil
will train them to deman. We'll put one of them on the deman table and
the rest on other tasks which require less training.
Once we accumulate at least 2 gaylords of steel, I'll borrow a pickup
truck from my employer and make a recycling run. We'll need to empty the
steel from the gaylords to the bed of the pickup truck by hand unless I
can borrow a stake bed truck. In the latter case we can load the truck
from the docks with our pallet jacks.

While Tom, Mike, Dale, and Olin went to Arby's to celebrate the goal
of an ADEC pickup, Kelsey and I remained at the warehouse. I came to
FGM tonight with the purpose of cleaning up the deman corner, so
Kelsey and I sorted processors into the appropriate plastic jugs,
placed computers for deman on a pallet, and sorted some of the items
scattered around the deman table. It looks 100% better than it did
when we arrived. There's still a bit more cleaning to be done, but I
would suggest that from now on, that whoever works in the deman area
is responsible for cleaning up the work area when done.
I don't expect it to be perfectly clean, after all, it is a warehouse
and the nature of the work is messy, but I would hope that the deman
area never looks like it did again. Even if I have to make idiot-proof
labels for things, that's fine, as long as it's clear. I'm even
willing to write a how-to guide on demanning computers. I don't have a
problem training new volunteers on deman. I'll just politely ask that
they clean up their work area when finished.
Next week, the plan is for Dale and Mike to work on building more
shelves, either at the warehouse or up in Michigan. Either way is fine
by me, but I plan on cleaning off the deman carts so that they can be
used for the purpose of deman. I also plan on cleaning up in general
to help eliminate the numerous boxes filled with random things.
By the way, our steel gaylord is full. Not sure how we've been
recycling steel, but a steel run does need to be made.
