David Anderson, UncommongGoods Inventory Transaction and Control Supervisor<\/center>
\nMy hometown is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nNYC!<\/p>\n

My favorite process in the UncommonGoods warehouse is\u2026<\/strong>
\nSample Sale! Samples that our merchandising team decides not to include in our assortment are given very discounted prices and sold to our employees. They are all one of a kind and can not be found anywhere. I handle the storage, organization, and then set up of the actual sale event that we have every few months.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong>
\nTastefully designed products, e.g., iPhone 5, Herman Miller, and things I build myself.<\/p>\n

The best gift anyone has given me was\u2026 <\/strong>
\nLife. (Thanks Mom & Dad!)<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026 <\/strong>
\nI lived in Africa, Europe, and the Bahamas before I turned 12.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m probably\u2026 <\/strong>
\nBuilding computers, Legos, or models.<\/p>\n

The word that best describes me\u2026 <\/strong>
\nOriginal!<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned\u2026 <\/strong>
\nThe Verrazano toll really adds up…<\/p>\n

With a pile of stuff in front of me I would build\u2026 <\/strong>
\n(You’re given glitter glue, 3 wood blocks, a yard of fabric, a spool of string, and a cardboard box filled with wire hangers.)<\/em><\/p>\n

I would unwind all the wire hangers and then use them to make a giant wire ball. Then I would glue the blocks together. I would then use the fabric to create a parachute for the blocks using the string to tie the ends around the blocks. Then I would tie points of the parachute to the top of the ball. Using more string I could suspend the entire wire ball in the air, with blocks suspended from the fabric, which hangs from the top of the ball! Yay!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
