Myles shows his understanding of Kanban

This one is really for the manufacturing nerds out there. If you really want to know what Kanban is there is a definition here.

Tonight at the mall I shared with Myles an Auntie Anne's pretzel (whole wheat if you must know, and I scraped off the salt). I broke it up into little pieces for him and portioned out somewhere between 10 and 12 pieces at a time. Everytime he got down to two pieces he looked at me and gave me the "AA-EE-AAAH" which means, time for more of this food. Every time, without fail. It was like he knew that it would take me two of his bites to rip up and give him 10 more.

Okay, so if a 13 month old can figure this out, why is it so freaking difficult everywhere I work?

You mean, Myles was able to figure this out ALL BY HIMSELF? :)

I have to admit, as soon as I read the word “kanban,” I remembered Peggy *ahem**ahem* having such difficulty *ahem**ahem* mastering the automatic *ahem**ahem* date/time stampers when we were doing the Kaizen event in sales. It probably didn’t help that David *sniff**sniff* was trying to flirt *ahem**ahem* with her *sniff**ahem* while she read the *sniff**ahem**sniff* directions.

ahhhhhhhhhhh yeah! How long has it been since you thought of them? :)
