Oy, I can't believe we're kvetching over freaking phone numbers. This shouldn't be this goddamned difficult. Hmph.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I know! If they had just given me a number, I wouldn't even be thinking about it!

Okay, I committed to a number. You may all go back to your regular business.

If there is no choice, we deal. If there IS a choice? Well, we have to choose. And obsess. And stuff.
I moved just under 53,000 messages to Mail to backup Gmail. It doesn't know it's lucky I cleared about half of the old stuff out the day before I got disabled. It's not perfect, but it's a backup. And I kinda freaked when I had no access to my email at all, so...
I can't imagine choosing a new number. Even though currently I have to start by saying, "area code" because it's not a local number. I just make them conform to me. This had been my number for about 15 years, it's mine.

I was thinking that it would be good for the job search. And now I have a new issue. Due to the job search, I finally got off my ass and hooked up my all in one printer (which has been sitting in a box for three years) only to find that they stopped making the model right before/after vista came out and there's no bloody driver!!! I really don't want to spend the money on a new printer right now.
Any recommendations for cheap but good? I'd prefer color, but beggars can't be choosers.

It's fun to say.
It sounds like you are swearing, with numbers.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
how much printing do you think you'll do? I'm wondering if you can't do all your printing at a printing place near a college and get a good rate. might be cheaper than buying a printer and ink.
if that is impractical, now is a good time to buy a printer (back to school sales are pretty good).
amazon and staples have had good deals - comparison shop though to see who might be cheapest.
