I got a message from Tom last night on my way home from work. He was in the ER with his mom, awaiting bloodwork, CAT scan, and MRI.
He got home around 3:30am. When we were both awake (aka a few minutes ago), he told me that MIL had a spot on her brain, and swelling, and that biopsies were going (1)

The last day shift of the year is a mixture of most of C Shift (the weekend shift) and about a dozen of my shift (A Shift). Why the <bleep> does no one on C Shift number their totes/other packaging?!?
