I should have known better. I work in supply chain. Even worse, I work for a company who makes solutions to help companies solve these kinds of problems, which I listen, speak and write about for a living! What was the problem? I ordered a table online without checking reviews sufficiently. If I had done due diligence, I’d have seen the warnings – the retailer had pretty pictures on their website, but their supply chain failed them, creating an eleven-month saga and unhappy customer.

Rodanthe is one of my favorite beaches. During the summers when I lived in Atlanta, I would pack my bikes on top of the car and head to this wonderful, and what was then a remote beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
