Oh my god you guys the smartest thing I ever bought is a label maker. I just figured out I should apply tiny labels to my identical mouse and external drive USB plugs so I know which is which! Everyone should get a label maker!

bon bon!!!
So I'm eavesdropping on a German class, and I'm finding myself utterly weirded out that (a) I still more or less understand what the teacher is saying about East and West Germany and (b) THESE KIDS WEREN'T BORN when East Germany existed.
Also, bon bon!!!! How was the move? How's the west coast life? How's the Bob? Have you stuck labels on him?
Whenever I get a label maker, the first thing I usually do is make a label that says "label maker".
I don't have a label maker, but my brain shorted out with glee when I realized that the super-cheap melamine cabinets in my kitchen work with dry-erase markers.
Here is the other smart thing I did with the label maker, though this was weeks ago: labeled the power cords for stuff like the cordless drill, electric scissors, stuff that looks identical but isn't.

Ugh. It's over, but I'm not sure I'm going to do that again any time soon. The Valley is hot, and not conducive to being a pedestrian, but the food is cheap. Bob is suffering because I keep trying to label his file folders so he doesn't do stuff like, say, throw away his first paycheck from the university. Which he did.
I fear if I had a label maker today, people would be walking around with thingies on their forehead saying "moron", "idiot","wtf?", "WHY"
And the stupid piece of equipment making me mental would be covered with "WORKDAMNIT!STUPID!HATE!"
So. Just as well I don't.
bon, did you get married yet?
Later this month. The current wedding stress is that fewer people are coming than we expected-- like a lot fewer. I'm going to assume it's the economy, and not our noxious personalities. But I still have a catering minimum to meet, so I'm putting out A LOT more food and alcohol per guest than I expected, and I have to find all that food and alcohol somewhere. Everyone gets a magnum of Dom at the bon Bob nuptials!
