I am one week into my job at the flower place, and as much as I love my mother, I will be thrilled when this holiday is over. Yesterday we got an order for over a thousand rose bouquets for today. For those of you uncertain on just how many flowers that is, I did the math for you.
- 1,056 mixed rose bouquets total
- 12,672 roses (with the thorns on by the way)
- 3,168 bunches of baby's breath
- 18 workers
- 4 hours of work
- 3 assembly lines
- 2 very tired roommates
Well, I have the day off tomorrow and will be splitting my time between my bed, the pool, and Sonic. Growing up I used to want to be a florist and spend all day around flowers, but after today, all I can say is please honey, never buy me a mixed rose bouquet.
I just saw this after I bought my mother a bouquet of mixed roses online.
