Oh, hello there. I was just relaxing after making dinner, and thought an update about today would be kinda nice. Especially since today wasn't too bad. *shrug*
I got into work on time, even though I left home late. I don't know what it was, but I managed to get done just perfectly. At 8am, if not for talking to Joyce and finally catching up the sales book*, I would have had UScan out and everything else done. It was a pleasant change from the routine. Now, to make it routine. Wish me luck.
After lunch, I helped my manager show a detective with the MPD some video footage of someone who said that they were robbed at the ATM teller. (Technically, they were hit outside, were walked in, and had to withdraw money. The odd thing is that they could have gotten away from him inside. I can only think that the guy had the victim's car keys, or something equally significant.
Anyway, our footage is digital, which is cool. What's really neat is that you can save it to AVI, and the computer has a 40x burner in it. The detective wanted a copy of the two angles we had on the event. I was the one who did it all, and I really looked like I knew what I was doing. Ironically, I think it's been my years of pirating mp3s that has led me to be so proficient in the arts of burning CDs. :) The detective actually complimented me and shook my hand. I got a kick out of that. I always feel good helping like that.
I left work, and decided that I wanted the Conan RPG. Since that charge cleared off my account, I had money again. So, I stopped by Kevin's Attic. First, Cynthia wasn't there. Second, neither was Conan. Apparently, they received a shipment in, and sold out just as quickly. Comics 'N' Collectibles also had sold out of their shipment. As a last resort, I checked Comic Cellar, mentally prepping myself to NOT mention Kevin's Attic or Comics 'N' Collectibles**. Comic Cellar didn't have it either.
I came home, and nearly bought it online. Stiggybaby.com had it for $39.96, but since the shipping delay would make it easier to wait for Friday (when Kevin's Attic and C&C get it again), I decided to wait.
Now, it seems that my decision to hold off may have saved me some embarrassment. I cannot get into my account over the phone, and that bothers me. Not a lot, since I have nothing pending at the moment, so I'm okay there. I just don't want to lose my direct deposit from either the IRS or work because my account was frozen. Ya know? I'll try again, but I'll call them tomorrow if I still cannot access it in the morning.
* - Our sales book didn't get done at all last week. It all started because Annie doesn't do it on Mondays, I got audited on Tuesday, and by Wednesday, I had three days of sales, PLUS a missing Sunday sales sheet. The lack of help and extra beginning-of-the-month Western Union work didn't help matters any, either.
** - Jason at Comic Cellar gets downright draconian if you mention you bought ANYTHING from any place other than his shop, even if it's something that he wouldn't necessarily carry. Weird guy...
