June 16, 2025 - Daily Recap

After a sangria-induced holiday shutdown on Sunday, I came into Monday ready to make up for it… or at least attempt to. The day started in the usual black hole that is “admin time” — a place where paying bills, ordering supplies, and checking stats somehow eats up half the day before you even notice.

By the time I made it to the warehouse, it was later than I’d planned, but still productive. The surprise? The guy who picked up tables late Friday had already returned everything — stacked neatly and in great condition. Small win.

That said, my formula assumes box truck costs, so the real margin is likely better than shown.

Cleanup & Closeout

After putting away the tables, I unloaded and cleaned the dance floor from Saturday’s rainy wedding. Wet shoes leave their mark, even indoors. Got it all dried, organized, and racked. That wrapped the day.

Until next time
