Odds and Ends
Classes start today.
This means that traffic is going to be unbearable all week. I may skip our mid-week trip to the grocery store on Wednesday/Thursday if things are still bad by then.
I’m going to spend most of the week sitting and the front desk, not only because we have two brand-new GAs, and not only because none of the GAs have worked during a fall semester start, but because we’re probably going to be extremely busy, and the faster we can help people and get them logged in, the better.
The weekend was pleasant. My aunt, uncle, and cousins came by Saturday afternoon to visit with my grandmother. That’s always fun, if a little crazy.
Oh, I printed the stills I took from the Flip. I printed two stills on a single sheet 4×6 photo paper, and they looked fantastic. I don’t think I could have printed them much larger, but they looked surprisingly good. (I have one copy to my grandmother, and mailed another copy to my cousin’s grandfather.)
Which reminds me, I love my new printer. I printed out some flower pictures to send to Michael’s grandmother, and I couldn’t tell them came from a printer. (Usually you can look at a picture and tell it was printed; these are really good pictures.)
Otherwise, don’t expect much this week. I’m writing several posts early (right now is actually Sunday night, but this will be posted Tuesday morning). But I expect to be busy.
Which means I’ll spend a long time at the front desk surfing the web, probably.
