Well, I got through the weekend, stumbling from one self-generated disaster to another.

Now I’m about to go to work, where I can be remunerated commensurate with my abilities.

Serves me right.

[Tax-chick]

Good luck.

[Tax-chick]

Trying to keep the people organized for schoolwork. They keep disappearing! What is this, Hogwarts?

[sionnsar]

Yup. In the office and lo and behold, there isn’t a ton of e-mail waiting to eat up the morning. So maybe I can catch up on last week.

[Monkey Face]

Hello, Ganag!

I’ve been busy this morning, but I have no idea how long I’m going to last...

(Thanks to freecycle.com, I now own a photo printer!!)

[Monkey Face]

If it’s Hogwarts, I want to be there!!

[Tax-chick]

I could send the little boys to investigate a secret passage, and maybe they’d be gone all day ... Unfortunately, it’s the ones with work to do who disappear, not the ones who are running around shrieking.

I have to go to the post office - my mom wants me to overnight mail something to her lawyer.

Congrats on the photo printer!

[Monkey Face]

It has everything but ink!! LOL!

Can’t you do the Overnight thing at Stamps.com?

[Tax-chick]

I haven’t tried it, and I don’t want to have it not get there. We need to go to Wal-mart, too, and maybe I’ll run into the Union library to see what DVDs are on the shelf.

Frank really needs a nap, so an extended car trip will be just the thing.

[Monkey Face]

Yep. I know the feeling!!

[sionnsar]

Congrats on the printer.

Up for my mid-year review in a few minutes. At least I got a bit better sleep last night than I have for a week.

[Monkey Face]

Then you should pass in flying colors and get the raise you so richly deserve!!

Keep us posted...

[Tax-chick]

Line at the Post Office, but at least the papers are in the mail.

[Monkey Face]

That’s good!!
(The photo printer looks like it’s never been used...)

[sionnsar]

It seems I came through with flying colors. The negatives weren't negative, just areas where I could shore up things a bit -- and as my American boss notes, may have been based on a lack of knowledge of what I do since so little of it involves the local company.

Some of it was on themselves: "We aren't leveraging him as much as we could."

But the plan ahead looks really good. I am happy. *\:^)

No ink for the printer? You know the ink's the most expensive part. *\:-( OTOH, you have a printer. I'm about to move the early 90s laser printer upstairs just to have one. The inkjets are near dead.

[sionnsar]

No raise, BTW. Those happen on the annual reviews and until business turns up they’re not likely.

[Monkey Face]

Good for you!
I knew you would do good!!

Usually, I get my ink at Walgreen’s. They refill cartridges and for me, black is $10 and color is $15. It’s much easier to pay that than it is to buy a brand new cartridge.

(I’m always looking for ways to cut my expenses!!!)

[Monkey Face]

Well, hang in there...it will come!

[sionnsar]

(I’m always looking for ways to cut my expenses!!!)

Aren't we all. LoM learned she could trade in one of our definct printers for $50 off on a new $150 HP combo printer/scanner/FAX/whatever (HP is good because they support Linux), but... I dunno.
