I keep a messy little spreadsheet for ship times, stock count, and cost per mg, mostly because my monthly budget is tight. Last Tuesday I grabbed a box without checking the label and only noticed later when my log said three pens left but the fridge had two.
Nothing dramatic happened, but I spent the evening re-counting everything: 4 unopened pens, 2 in the current box, last two orders arriving in 6 and 11 days, and cost per mg moving from $4.10 to $3.75. The annoying part is that the log is supposed to be my safety net, and I trusted the box over it.
I'm fine, just rattled and a little embarrassed. Does anyone else's tracking make a small mix-up feel like the whole system failed?
