The Fun Never Stops
Friday, January 2nd, 2009 07:49 pmSo, having finished a book, and mine partner another, I spent yesterday and today filing, moving last year's records into the paperbox that will become their final resting place, entering the Big Freaking Pile of Data that I've been shoving into a file folder since early November and refusing to deal with. Including... ahem...two checks. I still haven't quite finished the data entry, but thats what tomorrow's for. Steve and I need to have a creative conference regarding Saltation and the-as-yet-unnamed-sequel to Scout's Progress (which might get given the working title for the book that became Scout's Progress. Unfortunately, the Perfect Title for the sequel is Pilot's Choice, but that's probably not such a good idea.)
Anyhow, in and around all this fun and frivolity, the last of the boxes containing the Stuff to assist in Steve's move from his dead deskbox to the new one arrived today. I had ordered in some memory for my computer, which also arrived today. Or So I Thought.
Imagine, if you will, my Utter Surprise and Dismay upon opening the box that was supposed to hold two sticks of 2GB memory and finding instead an unlocked Sony Ericsson G900. With a packing slip for a guy who lives in Cambridge and is probably pretty concerned about where his phone is by now. I called Tiger Direct, but the kid who finally! answered the phone disconnected me. I sent them a message via the web-form and received a reply to the effect that they'd get around to me in three or four days. I really hope the guy in Cambridge doesn't need this phone.
So, anyway. I'm tired. The filing was, for a couple hours, caught up. That was nice. Unfortunately dealing with the folder produced...filing. Sigh. It is as I have long suspected: bookkeeping is Bad for You.
I'm gonna go get a glass of wine and a sandwich. Tomorrow's another day. And the day after the day after that...
...is Monday.
