I remember a couple of years go that there was a women that was at the sale and she was very pregnant. Actually she ended up going into labor while waiting for the doors to open. You would think that she would have left for the hospital, oh no she didn't. She didn't end up going to the hospital until she was all doing with her shopping.
Crazy story uh. It is true. I have worked the resale for the last 12 years and I can tell you some whoppers. Just about every story you hear is true.
You probably wonder why I do this every year. I can tell you why, it is to watch all these crazy women go after these purses. My favorite time of the resale is on the first day the one open to the public. Just to watch all these women coming pouring in the doors and running towards tables is an amazing site to see.
I still am not 100 % sure what attracts all these women to the sale. Now don't get me wrong, I have some Vera Bradley purses and my daughter had some before she could say Vera, but I still wonder why.
Everyone needs to experience at least one sale. I will guarantee that you will not forget it for some time to come.

Vera Bradley
It is that time of year again. The Vera Bradley outlet sale is back.
Has anyone heard of Vera Bradley? I guess that is a stupid question. Maybe the question should be who hasn't heard of Vera Bradley?
This is a big company that originated in Fort Wayne. The company was formed by two women, Patricia Miller and Barbara Bradley Baekgaard. These two women took a idea that they had while sitting in an airport and made it the American Dream.
The company is very committed to the Fort Wayne area and has raised thousands of dollars for breast cancer awareness. They not only do this with the resale but also as a golf outing and several other activities.
The outlet sale as been going on for 26 years and for the past 18 they have been in the Memorial Coliseum.
Each year thousands of women come to have the opportunity to buy the product at a significant percent off from what it goes for in retail stores.
I am sure you have seen the news stories about the women that line up the night before just so that they can be one of the first ones in. You have also heard the stories of women who wait until the last day and then buy bags and bags of purses just because they are discounted even more.
You may ask yourself why women line up for this purses? I don't have an answer for that. We can only wonder.

Chapter 3 Senge (Beer Game)
Did anyone else that it would be common sense not to panic when you run out and that if your orders run 4 wks behind, what is the point of upping your order every week?
If your orders are behind that many weeks, has it accrued to anyone to pick up a phone and call to see if you could possibly get any extra on the next shipment? It seems to me that it would make more sense to pick up the phone instead of upping your order that could be up to 8 weeks away.
Anyone else have any thoughts?

Employment Portfolio
The employment portfolio is a good thing to have. It does take a lot of work but it could be the thing that gets you that job.
What is a little work if it means you get the job of your dreams?
