OMG, I just barely made it inside before the skies OPENED. Phew.
Fred, it's a combo of discretionary and discount, if that makes sense. I don't always freak out the way most people will freak out, but seeing any total of dollars next to the count of things I'd bought--yikes. I didn't need enough of those things to need to save that much in the first place.
A dollar total can't be helpful. I got an email from the Vitamin Shoppe 30 days after buying something there, which is fair, except wouldn't I know if I were out?
Had a meeting with a not-for-profit company we have a relationship about getting shirts for the staff. They said they don't do silk screening, but a process called sublimation. Sounded high-tec . . .
It's iron-on transfers!!
They also claimed that they can't do light print on dark colors, but I KNOW MICHAEL'S SELLS THAT PRODUCT!!
Yeah, no. They're really cheap, but it's definitely a "pay for what you get" scenario.
Oh also, this interview? Apparently the big boss of the department is a nightmare. I'm...not so sure I want to get back into a situation like that.
WTF -- I just heard Brad Pitt doing the voiceover in an ad for Benjamin Moore Paint. I'm not sure why that is so shocking to me, but it is!
Is it a tie-in for a Ben Button sequel? Benjamin Button: More! In which we get to watch Ben live his life forwards, and all the many colors his room gets painted as he ages the right way.
He did do that odd perfume ad.
And, as expected, KCD is calling orthodontia a luxury he can't afford for at least a year. Doesn't help that his dental coverage doesn't include ortho coverage and we had used mine on CJ's Phase I work a bunch of years ago. One bummer of being at one company a long time, no new dental coverage to reset the ortho limits.
I can cover the cost, but I really want to get a committment from KCD that he will pay half, at some point. I'm willing to be flexible. I'm just not sure what to do next. I knew this was coming...doesn't make it easier.
Got through my first day as a permanent employee without getting fired, woohoo!
Timelies all!
We are in the midst of Cleaning! All! The! Things! in preparation for houseguests arriving tomorrow.(One of our guests for Conterpoint is from England, and she and her husband decided to come in early to play tourist.)
