Another long day...

I was up early and hoped to get some translation work done before reporting to the store at 11:30.

I was lucky, and hit a patch of smooth sailing in the procedure I'm translating, and managed to get 4000 words down on phosphor before leaving. The store was a madhouse, with not a moment to spare from the time I arrived until about 4:30, when things started to settle down and Chris, who does our mail distribution and processes FedEx and UPS packages, went home.

Since coming home, though, I've been able to eat dinner, but I haven't been able to sit down and concentrate on anything else at all.

I have 29 pages left of the procedure, which I would like to send by the end of day tomorrow, and 4 pages that must be translated tomorrow morning. I plan to make myself scarce at the store tomorrow.

I called Denver as a follow-up to yesterday's faxed response about the store's sales tax returns, and it turns out that the checks were applied in reverse order, so that the Q4-2005 ended up with an apparent $320 shortage, while the Q1-2006 had an apparent $320 overpayment. Hopefully, the situation has been cleared up; on the other hand, I'm not exactly throwing away my notes and copies of documentation.

Cheers...

While I'm thinking about it...

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but messages left for my on my cell phone sometimes don't show up for a significant amount of time (up to 24 hours, and I won't swear there haven't been cases where that time was longer). Is this normal behavior among carriers?

The issue came up because Drew sent me an SMS from Durango today (One word: "Boy!"), followed by a message with a photo of the sonogram. I forwarded that message to my web account a couple of hours ago, and it still hasn't shown up, which leads me to believe that Verizon gets around to moving data when - I don't know - the phase of the moon and the height of the tide are favorable, or something.

It sort of makes me feel I'm a subscriber to a second-class provider. Grrr.

Cheers...
