E-Baying

We’re selling a bunch of stuff on E-Bay. Most of the auctions end tomorrow, so now is your last chance to bid. You’ll notice our beautiful breakfast area table acts as the background.

We sold some wedding presents in the first batch. Berck took pictures of everything with his Nikon, sent the film off to be developed, and then scanned the photos. That took a while. For the this batch we borrowed one of his flight instructor’s digital camera.

The current auctions are going far better than we expected. Most of the stuff is parts from our laptops that died. Berck thinks we should buy a camera with the proceeds. Of course, we wouldn’t need a digital camera anymore once we sell everything.

Saying no to Berck’s requests for money is exhausting. Reminding him we have negative money doesn’t help.

What do you mean, J?

I took the Keirsey Temperament Sorter online just now, and it scored me as a J!!! I couldn’t believe it. It also said I’m an S, which is understandable…I always score borderline between S and N.

At least good ol’ I and T stayed solid.

It probably has something to do with my job. I count things for the first half of the day, then I pile things in neat stacks until it’s time to go home. If that doesn’t make a J out of a P, I don’t know what will.

Also I’m in a time in my life where I know where I am and what I need. Can’t wait around anymore to see what life will bring along.

Here’s a page for those of you who are wondering what the heck I’m talking about.

Your not alone

There’s a sign on the washroom door at work that says, “EMPLOYEES MUST WASH HANDS BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK,” the sort of placard restaurants are required to put up. I’m not sure why we have to wash our hands. I mean, sure, it’s a good idea and all. But we don’t deal with food, and two minutes back out in the warehouse gets anyone’s hands visibly covered in dirt and dust again.

Just this week appeared above this sign a laminated computer graphicked sheet of paper that has these words imposed over the picture of a house.

Your not in this house alone!

Set an example

*Consider others
*Care for others
*Keep things clean

Do the right thing.

So I have to wonder. Would it be considerate to point out the grammatical mistake? Or would it be uncaring to nitpick about homonyms?

And is this a warning that someone is watching to see whether or not I use soap?

So today I took action. I pulled my trusty marker out of my back pocket and added an E and an apostrophe.

I think I did the right thing.
