Just taking a brief pause. You know, sometimes things do work out. I ran to Fort Wayne this morning (well, ok, I drove) and our road wasn't so bad after all - COMPARED TO THE ROADS IN WAYNEDALE. Jeepers. They were worse than our country road. When I came home it was actually opened for two lanes of traffic too.
Anyway, I took the camera back. I wrote about this the other day. After reminding them of the situation, they apologized all over themselves, and even got some on everybody else. They asked if they could just give me a brand new camera, and they would take care of sending the other one in to get it fixed. I said yes, even though the reason it didn't work was because I tried to put the wrong card in it. Which they knew, but they are the one's who gave us the wrong card in the first place. At any rate, they were extremely nice, and apologetic, and alls well that ends well. Now we're looking forward to taking in some camera seminars there. Sunny Schick is the place - the ONLY CAMERA SHOP IN FORT WAYNE! Recommended.
I just got done writing a letter to everyone in the congregation. I wanted to let them know how to find out if our worship gatherings are canceled, let them know that we're going to decorate the tree this Sunday morning (so they need to bring an ornament with them), that they can still make a tax-deductible charitable contribution to the church, and what our main project is going to be next year (storage/recycling building).
What was coolest about the letter is.... I moved my printer about 2 feet, and it saved me oh-so-much time in sticking the envelopes in it. I also figured out that I can open our directory, highlight the names, hit the envelope button, and it will put it all in there by itself. Another time-saver. You know, one of these days I just might make a darn good secretary!
Back to worky, worky, worky (not everyone is on vacation this week!). :)

Dan, not to shamelessly shill another website, but if you're looking for other cool lifesavers (some you'll probably find useful, some are so specific neither you nor anyone you know would ever need) check out http://www.lifehacker.com
I found it looking for tips on PowerPoint for the class I teach, but there's all kinds o' fun stuff on there. Yay blogs!
Alex,
Definitely cool. Nice to hear from you, and a thousand thanks for the heads-up on lifehacker. I will need to make a post about it specifically.
Thanks!
Well, yeah, but if your car slides off the road in Waynedale, the hookers will help you push it out.
* this comment is sure to draw the wrong element from Google.
