All of my spreadsheets are done, and I just need a teensy bit more info before I do the Typing Project From Hell. Why is this the Typing Project From Hell, you ask? Because I need to type all of this info, 76 classes with all of their details, onto the registrar's forms, which have been badly photocopied so many times that the lines that should be horizontal are now diagonal, and I have to make constant corrections, moving the paper down just a teensy bit, about every third letter.

Gah.

I will do this tomorrow.

The new office supplies came today, and *that* is what I plan to occupy myself with the rest of the day - organizing my area and finally creating a binder for my notes, so I can easily find, say, my LaTeX or t-roff shortcuts, or how to go about reserving a room after 5:30 (which is different from how to reserve a room prior to 5:30, which I have down by now).

So. Still busy. Still okay.

Oh, the white-powder update - they've halted all mail service on campus until they determine what it is.

Thank you, drive through.

By the end of the day yesterday they had a big white powder scare out here in oklahoma also.
Someone found it in their mailbox and they evacuated an entire neighborhood because of it. They didn't let anyone back into the neighborhood for something like six hours!
Talk about overreacting. It wasn't nuclear waste everyone!

That's when I make new forms.

They won't accept anything that's not on their forms, or I'd just e-mail them my spreadsheet...

Ouch. Isn't there a way you can get them to make better copies or anything?

But, see, that would be expecting them to do *work*...

OK. You get my hammer. But not until I'm done with it.

You mean no one had said that yet? Frankly, I'd figured another of your friends would've jumped on that immediately; I'd forgotten about it by now!

You and mousie are my only friends who use it frequently. Which was something I was willing to grudgingly accept, but when [livejournal.com profile] tanaise caught the meme, I had to do something, for the sake of my own sanity.

I realize this would be more work for you, but I've been in that situation countless times and I just make up new forms using their model. Most of the time, you can't tell the difference. Other than mine are readable, of course.
