If you're a person who has to create business documents it should only take you a year or two _tops_ to work out how good your spelling may or may not be. If it's the sort of spelling that isn't fixed with a re-read, spell check. If it is the sort of spelling that is fixed with a re-read, SPELL CHECK. What the fuck does it cost you?
No document should get to me that can't pass a spell check. I should be looking for grammar issues and heterographic homophones. Stuff that doesn't get a red or green wiggly, that's for sure.
I often wished wistfully for a rubber stamp that said "SPELLCHECK MOTHERFUCKERS!" when I was teaching. High school AND college.
Jesus. Just run the program.
Hey, does anyone know how you find someone to run an estate sale?
There was a company that did it for my family when my grandmother died. I guess they priced things, dealt with the sale, and took away anything that didn't sell.
Because this is New Orleans, I think they were these people, called The Funky Junk Brothers.
Y'all have me questioning my habit of capitalizing stuff in the subject line of e-mails. Because it's like a title, I guess?
If you know a local antique type shop, I would ask them if they know of a company.
I should have said... how to make sure the company you find is a good one. I feel like there is a lot of opportunity for shady dealers in that kind of business? Is that the kind of thing that Angie's List would be good for?

Yeah, I love the idea of being able to hire someone to handle the whole thing.
Some people just make me want to go mow down a rainforest and set fire to styrofoam, I swear.
Some days, this could be my tag line.
I think Angie's list would work, Jesse, or maybe Yelp reviews.
The amount of work I already have on my to do list (left over from yesterday's requests) is making me not want to go to work today.
