Well, my day just got flushed down the can
I was supposed to spend my day doing paperwork and finances for the store, maybe do a little tidying, work on the website...
But no.
The bat phone just rang and this caped crusader is off to the airport to label thousands of items from the Brazil shipment that were not tagged, deal with customs, pack and unpack boxes, etc.
Oh, and $10 says I will spend at least an hour arguing in Portuguese on the phone with our supplier. Because he shipped everything without labels, which is a giant fucking no-no and he knows it.

Later dudes.
