My, oh my, it has been so busy this week. I've new project is in the mill at work, but I can't talk about what it is at the moment cause it's a Christmas gift idea. However, I've been holed up hours on end trying to work out the mathematics of this project, and since math is not my strong suit, there have been a lot of...'damns'... ...'craps'...and an occasional 'sh--' emanating from the office.
You might ask, "Doesn't your computer have a template for that? Yes, yes it does and that should have made the job easier, but when the actual paper product arrived I discovered the template didn't match up with the cut lines of the paper so I had to make my own...damn...crap...sh--. Such aggravation. Really! I did persevere though...damn...crap...sh--, so that finally, yesterday, I actually began production of this product.
In the meantime, I also established a checking account for my company. The initial paperwork stated I would get a debit card with the account, and 50 checks. When they did not promptly arrive, I called the bank prepared to give them 'what for', because you would think after being a customer since 1974 they would consider me a good customer and whiz these items to me quicker than the speed of light.
Apparently, the people in charge of the web-site don't actually converse with all the people who make company policies and the changes to them...so that the information I got from the site was waaay behind actual policy. There never were any checks, I had to order them myself and separately. There never was a debit card either. I was told I could use the one for my personal checking account. That did not seem like a good idea to me, since the purpose of the company account is meant to keep things separate, so I asked for a separate card. It arrived yesterday. But I was told I need a code to activate it (coming under separate cover) than the card. We'll see. Geeze. Good thing I delved into this, I could have been waiting forever.
Then, having requested the state to register my company, and to trademark my company logo (two different things, two different departments, and two different charges) I expected to receive official papers for these things when they had actually been accomplished. Ahhh, not so...I got nothing.
Back to the Official Oregon State web-site I go. I find my company is registered...(extra charge to get official document) (I just printed it out), and then I sent an e-mail to the trademark division stating I could
see I was registered, but how come I was not informed? Ooops, a few days later a copy of the paperwork arrived in the mail...I've only been waiting since July 9th.
How come nothing is simple?
In the meantime, I had started to become a maniacal idiot about the house...dashing around every day, picking up poop, debris, falling leaves (in huge amounts) in a desperate attempt to keep the yard presentable. While, inside the place looks pretty dang good (if I do have to say so myself) with Frankie finally on board about keeping the kitchen sink free of dirty dishes.
However, she does have a bag packed, that sits right next to the front door, so knowing I'm on pr-ettt-y thin ice I have decidedly lightened up a lot...well, at least a little. Cause I sure don't want to lose her. And, I've decided, starting today, I'm done, done, done with all this house business, can't do no mores. My little family unit is far more important, than my crazed activities regarding the house.
There you have it folks, the reasons why my blog has been silent for such a long time. Fear not, here and now, I decree Frankie, Zorro, CC and I are going back to enjoying life as we once knew it, a happy, content, slightly neurotic little group. Life is what it is, yesterday is history, today is still a mystery, and we are looking for a lovely day tomorrow.
I'm back.
