Never underestimate the value of transferable skills.
In high school, I ran small poker ring for a while.
Decades later, as I pack orders -- keeping careful count greeting cards and envelopes to ensure I ship what was bought -- I'm remembering old tricks, such as specific techniques to quickly count, to layer things to efficiently draw back into a neat pile.
Every 45 seconds saved cuts a 6-hour packing shift to a 5-hour shift.
I can use that time to pack more orders
or make art or
just be a weird person who ran a poker ring in high school and now sells Halloween greeting cards
and is always up to some antic
or
other
(laugh)
