Useless but Intresting Facts

Work is so boring sometimes!

During my hours of boredom at work today I worked out that our computer rooms at school each had between 15-20K worth of equipment in them! Icon_eek

Useless but interesting information (i thought anyway!)

Anyone else got some useless but interesting information they would like to share with the PN community?

Regards,
Toby

Toungue  RE: Useless but Intresting Facts

Math stuff! I just love math stuff!

Let's see now............. Eusa_think

I work for a security printing company. Our major customer is the US Postal Service. In other words we print postage stamps.

Part of my job as a Quality Assurance Inspector is to spot check cartons of finished product before they are released to the shipping department.

Last night, I opened a carton containing Booklets of 20 in packages of 100.

So....each stamp is worth 41 cents US x 20 stamps per booklet = $8.20

Then...are you ready...this get's better...

100 booklets @ $8.10 ea = $820.00....
40 packages of 100 x $810.00 = $32,800.00..........
60 Cartons on a pallet @ $32,400.00 ea = $1,968,000.00

That's just ONE PALLET!

We printed almost 3 billion stamps last year Eusa_sick

I need a stiff drink Eusa_wall

Sorry, for the late response. I can't think of any right now... I will scratch around see what I can pull up.
