Are you sure your head's not just on crooked?

You are looking through to another plane. Gravity works different there.

PROPS to the warehouse team!

I thought that was a picture of Hugo's back yard after opening all of his minis.

There are no workers in that picture...just empty boxes. *Disbelief*


Not to change the subject but after working several years as a warehouse worker myself only to be kept in assembly/packaging the entire time and denied promotion after promotion and then being layed off by the company due to budget cuts, when I personally saw the "customizer" comment commercial by Dell a day after my lay off, I wanted to take a f'ing drill to the face of the f'ing guy to said that.

...I eventually decided to settle on welding several of the doors to my bosses car's shut in the middle of a stormy night. I'm told the looks on their faces were "glorious".

With Fire, most likely.

The scary thing is that it isn't the only mountain of boxes from this past shipment. There is another near that one and a third starting to take form. Needless to say, there was a LOT of product heading out the door last week!

You know, that sparks an interesting thought... job, and wealth creation...

for example, this one book has already done a lot for the international economy. More than just keep Paizo in business and making Lisa rich (honestly Lisa I HOPE you are or do get rich from all this- heck you ARE rich if you count the affection you have created with your company).

For example, Paizo comes up with the idea for APG. They do all kinds of work in house, then hire contributors and artists. These contributors need resources to perform their duties. The editors get the results and put it all together.

The document is sent to China. Chinese workers are employed to produce the books. The printer needs supplies to do this. Eventually the books are shipped across the Pacific back to Seattle. Crewmen are needed aboard the ship, fuel has to be bought.

Paizo gets the final product in all those boxes, which had to be made by someone somewhere! They employ lots of workers to repackage the books for delivery. Which means Paizo needs more resources from so many other companies...

They mail the books out, which employs the mail man and the hundreds of other people at the post office who get the product from there to here. The game distributors and store owners all employ people...

How many MILLIONS of dollars is produced by this product? How many jobs?

Just boggles the mind to think of the web of interconnectivity, doesn't it?
