How so you might ask? Well, I work in a job where we primarily keep in contact with employees who work overseas. If they aren't calling me, then I have a fair amount of "free time". As long as I was keeping up with my projects, no one minded if I brought some cards to work to sort through. Over time, I took over three lockers in our back room and since I'm moving into a new role working days, I had to clear out the lockers and take the cards home.
Here is about 80% of the stuff I brought home with me yesterday. The rest is stuff that is packed up to ship out from the 5000 count box project I was working on. I'll show you a pic of those next week.
I know I was very lucky to be able to do so much with my collection and blog while "on the clock". Most of you never get that chance and I didn't take it for granted. I have to say I'm truly amazed at what everyone else is able to do on their own time. I've discovered that finding time to write anything while I'm at home is almost impossible. I've barely even looked at any cards other than a few things I've purchased or gotten in the mail the last couple of weeks. My Rangers collection is suffering from a severe case of "I have a lot of cards to sort and update" too.
I miss the days of posting twice a day and I think I'd be happy if I could post once a day at this point, but as I settle in to the new job and see how my home schedule is going to work out, I hope to get back to some sort of regular posting and trading. I never imagined I could miss blogging every day.
Thanks for following along and sticking with me.
I'd love to root through that box marked "special cards."
ReplyDeleteHa. That was written on it when I got it. It was empty! It's full now but I don't recall what's in it. Maybe I'll take a pic for you.
DeleteMy guess is 1987 Topps.
DeleteI thought that was nice of Brian to have those cards... Wait Brian it was Empty? Whoever you got that box from was cruel to special cards. LOL
DeleteI thankfully have a job where I'm on the computer 90% of the day so I can at least read the blogs. Just don't think my boss would like 5000 count monster boxes in my office.
ReplyDeleteWorking from home 4 days a week, I get to mess with my cards fairly often. On Mondays, I handle chat support, and it was REALLY QUIET in there this past Monday. Needless to say, I got a lot of stuff organized a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteI work the late night shift too but my boss would have coronary if I did that. I wish I could post more often, but with 2 little ones it's kind of hard.
ReplyDeleteSchool starts tomorrow for me... which means my blog goes back into a semi-hibernation period for the next 8-9 months. It is what it is.
ReplyDeleteOh, my wife would keel over if she saw those rolling in the door
ReplyDeleteIt's refreshing to know that I'm not the only one who have boxes and boxes of cards that need to be sorted. I started sorting a bunch of 5,000 count boxes at the start of summer, but it took it's toll on my back (from sitting on my family room floor). I'm headed back into the classroom tomorrow, so I guess the sorting will have to wait another 10 months.
ReplyDeleteMy back was fine, but I almost went blind looking at the numbers on the back.
