I drove by a new office supplies store that was having a grand opening and was glad to see that they advertised that they deliver. This office supply place is about ten miles closer than the one that our office uses right now and they do not deliver. I am usually the one that has to drive over and pick everything up.
Everyone in the office will be glad to have an office supplies store that delivers, since if any of them need anything really quickly, they just have to put it on my list and wait for me to go, or go themselves. For some reason, no one likes going to the office supply store. It could be that if they go, they have to use their own money and then they get reimbursed but if I go then I use the company credit card and pay the bill.
I do not mind taking a little time off of work, to go out and get the things that everyone needs but if I can just call or place an online order every few days, it will cut down on the amount of time that I spend in the car and not in the office.
I tried to sell old silver dollar pieces at the coin shop that I bought them from and the owner told me that he has been buying so many coin collections and old silver dollar pieces over the last year that he has too many stored and will not be buying any for a long time. He gave me the name and number of a different shop that is located about sixty miles from here that is buying from anyone who wants to sell silver.
I planned on making it a quick trip up and back over the weekend but that did not happen. I guess that everyone else in the state that was looking to sell silver coins had also had the same idea as me. I had to wait in a two hour line, before even getting into the door. I then was given a different line to stand in and that took another two hours. By the end of my ordeal, I walked away with four hundred dollars. I figure that is about one hundred dollars an hour, not including drive time.
I would recommend that if you are waiting till the weekend to head to that shop, you might want to rethink it. According to the owner, everyone wait till the weekend and the weekdays are very slow. I wish that I would have known that before choosing my day.
