Late getting in tonight Kathy,...((HUGD))...had to get new print cartridges and then do an alignment.

Good day with the Princess

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evenin, Mac...*HUGS*...how was today’s commute? Hope better.

We all have to go downtown in the morning for the first training on the new system. The broken one is Cost Point 6...4 weeks now we have had to enter the payroll by hand, 8 employees at a time. Takes about 4 hours. 8 minutes when it works.

They are going to Cost Point 7 July 1st....we don’t hold out much hope that they even care about fixing our problem.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We had a dusting yesterday that didn’t last an hour. Thank goodness!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...I installed my last black ink cartridge Sunday, so need to get it refilled this weekend.

Glad you and Maddi had a good day.
