So yesterday I took the Nebula ballots off to be copied, to be ready by noon today. I got a CityCarShare car to go pick them up (carrying the moral equivalent of 5 reams of paper on the bus/BART did not appeal) and went and...apparently the copier employee had walked out of the job. Copied but not folded. So sorry. I had to return the car. Borrowed a car later and picked them up after three, but still:

If I were the manager at the office store, my first action (after calling someone to take her shift) would have been to personally go through all the orders, find out where they were at and what their due-by time was; if it looked like we couldn't make the deadline I would have personally called the clients and explained. But that, as they say, is just me.

I took tonight off to watch TV, because I was beginning to feel the peculiar RSI glow at the base of my thumb that says "don't spend tonight putting labels on stuff." So I didn't. In the morning I'll go back to work.
