Marshall and the Movies

Because I am so enamored by movies, my house obviously has a lot of them.  This also means that we are constantly lending them out to friends.  I have already written a memorial to all of the lost DVDs that have resulted from this sharing, but I have never shared how I combated this senseless loss.

I created a monster Word document called “Our DVD Library.”  I catalogued all of our DVD inventory, and I wrote the name of the movie and the number of disks on the document.  I even threw in the release date just for kicks.  Next to all of this was a place where we could write where the movie went.

Did it work?  I don’t know.  If we have lost a DVD recently, I stopped doing inventory about 5 years ago, so the Word document wouldn’t help.
