Why work is stupid

We have marketing materials. We send them out. We often send people several copies of the same thing, "just in case." We generally waste a lot of my time putting them together and sending them out and a lot of money on creating them. We are in the processes of totally revamping all the marketing materials. They will be completely new in a week and a half. But, as of today I still need to put together 50 of our "blue folders." Do you know what the executive director said when I suggested that instead of buying more folders and sending these out now we wait until the new stuff is ready? She said, "I want to strike while the iron is hot. We can resend the new materials later." So I'm going to spend the next day putting together 50 "blue folders" for people who and in a week and a half I'm going to need to redo this mailing with all the new materials.
