They say the brain's a muscle, and muscles need exercise. Bagging was getting boring, so today I decided to try memorizing all the different shirt brands and number of each brand that came through. By the end, I had: 3 Arrow, 1 Asole & Bodone, 3 Banana Republic, 3 Boston Saddle, 5 Brooks Brothers, 4 Calvin Klein, 1 Canali, 1 Club Room, 2 Dockers, 3 Eagle, 2 Eddie Bauer, 4 Ermenigildo Zegna, 1 Etro, 1 Express, 1 Faconable, 8 Gap, 4 Geoffrey Beane, 2 H & M, 2 Hugo Boss, 5 Ike Behar, 2 J. Crew, 1 John Varvatos, 4 Jos A. Bank, 3 Joseph Abboud, 7 Kirkland, 2 Kenneth Cole, 1 L. L. Bean, 2 Land's End, 1 Metropolitan View, 3 Nautica, 11 Nordstrom, 2 Olean John, 4 Perry Ellis, 3 Pronto Uomo, 10 Ralph Lauren, 2 Ted Baker, 6 Tom James, 1 Tommy Bahama, 4(?) Tommy Hilfiger, 3 Van Heusen, 4 Woodworth, 1 Zanali. It's not entirely accurate, there are at least 3 more brands that I'm forgetting because they're not very mainstream. Also, I kept losing count on Tommy Hilfiger. There might have been as many as 7... I guess Tommy and I don't get along very well.
When I didn't feel like memorizing shirts, I would attempt to memorize some of the LEED Credits. So in some way, the memorization exercise is helping me become a more sustainable designer? (In the large scheme of things.)
I was doing pretty good, I thought. And then my dad got in one order of 36 shirts (all from one person), and another order of 28 shirts (a father and a son). At that point, I gave up for the day.

This concept of having your shirts cleaned professionally is completely foreign to me as a EE/CS engineer. :P
I think I only recognized 16 of the brands you listed. Interesting how high Kirkland is...
Your dry cleaning job sounds horribly boring...maybe some interesting podcasts or audio books could enhance your day?
You know how I love your dry cleaning talk, Sophia.
