12 Cent Invoices...
Ok, So I ent Blogged since August... and I have no good excuse... except maybe that IRT is back up, and I've been busy jumping for joy. But I HAVE been meanin to post... cause I thought of some very profound things... like the other day in the shower in the morning, I was thinking:
"There's nothing Like a Good Shower in the Morning to Help you Wake up... and there's nothing Like a bad one to make you wish you Hadn't."
Cause yersh... the showers in our dorm are evil... if I haven't mentioned it yet, you could pressure wash the side of a house with those showers, and the floorspace in there is about 2 feet by two feet, leaving pretty much no room to move.
The title: that's sommat profound too... in a way, but it starts with a witty anecdote.
See I'm at work right now... and this idiot company which will remain nameless, has sent us an invoice for 12 cents. Now... think about that.
A Postage stamp costs 20 cents more than that.
But that's not the worst of it, cause it was mettered mail. They paid 51 cents to mail an invoke for 12 cents. That's incredible stupid. Once more they have been mailing this invoice montly, for months...
Why didn't they just write it off!
I for one, want to call them, and tell them we will need the invoice in triplicate in order to comply. Or Mail them 11 cents, CASH and see if they send an invoice for a penny...
But this makes a good point... how often do we put in way to much effort into getting not much back at all... just on the principal of the matter? Sometimes it's worth more to just give up on the 12 cents, than to pay out 51 cents a month trying to get what's yours.
Just something to think about...
Anyhow... I've started redoing the IRT Section in the Fan Fic Forum, now that IRT is back up, and the old EZBoards will fall to ruin, so my 1st-4th term plots need a new home... yersh.
Babylon 5 ended and started over again, which has, in addition to the creation of a Sim-Likeness of my BF, inspired me to go back on a little skinning Spree... when I get to it... I want to Make those SiL aged Characters I've been meaning to make while their images are still fresh in my head.
I made a Serial Experiments Lain Desktop, and an MSN 6 Background to match it... though it gets a little odd if you stretch the window, so I have to increase the resolution on that. I am making icons to go with it.
I'm like... half a chapter away from finishing the 3rd 'book' of "The Butterfly" and I've hit writers block, probably because that book of the story makes Vannia seem so... Mary Sue... I promise she won't stay that way... really... it's just she's a bit fixated in that book... and yersh...
*Wanders off to do workas.*
