Topic: Personal Commentary
I rolled out of bed this morning and took care of a number chores around the house. I cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed, took care of some things in the yard, cleaned the gutters... those kinds of things.
Before lunch I ran over to Kinkos to scan a few legal documents that I neeed to send off. I'd have done it at home on my new wireless printer/scanner/espesso machine, but I haven't figured out how to adjust the resolution in the software that drives it. It's scanning HUGE files.
Anyway, I went to Kinkos.
I had two documents requiring scanning. The first was twelve pages long, the other two pages. I handed them to the lady at the counter.
"I need these scanned," I said, "And placed on this jump drive."
I handed her the jump drive.
"Can these be scanned together?" She asked.
"No," I answered, "Two separate documents, please."
"OKay..." She tapped at a calculator, "That'll be $6.99 to set up each document and $1.39 for each page..."
"Wait," I stopped her, "I paid $3.24 to scan a twelve page document on Sunday night."
"Then you were undercharged."
"No," I shook my head. "I don't think I was undercharged at all. I think you're fucking me."
I took my documents and headed to the office to co-opt company resources for a personal activity. I figured it was lunch time. I wouldn't run into anybody.
And that's almost correct.
I only ran into our CEO. Did I mention I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and haven't shaved since last Thursday? I was quite a picture. She chatted with me the whole time I scanned my paperwork.
Afterwards, I went over to lunch at the corner pub to smoke a cigar while enjoying a couple of frothy cold ones and a plate of fish and chips.
While there, I started a fire.
They serve the fish and chips in the traditional newsprint. Cigar got too close. Flames!
Very embarassing.
I watched a terrific movie tonight... I'll tell you more about that tomorrow.
