A very special Hallmark Holiday Conundrum

My calender says today is "Earth Day" and also "Administrative Professional's Day" - which got me to worrying as I sometimes do; What if you had an Administrative Professional who refused to recycle? What then?

Thought for today.

"Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success." -Brian Adams My cousin had some blacklight posters back in the 70's, one had a picture of Wiley Coyote sitting down to eat a nicely roasted bird, and the caption was "Beep, Beep, My Ass!!" As we all know, Wiley was the epitome of patience and persistence. Just for today, be the coyote. Now go peacefully and meditate upon this thought....

I paid good money for this monstrosity!

I was going through my old "computer emergency" suitcase and found the manual to my old monitor... I paid (lots of) money and happily lugged this thing home. Back in my day, monitors were huge and ugly. And we liked it that way.

Newspapermen have attitudes?

I don't whether the editor is trying to be clever, or just not paying attention.

More money than even your ex-wife has

Money keeps getting "bigger". This guy wants more than I make in a month! Way more than a trillion! I would like to know if you make any other denominations for the funny money? If so, I would like to know about a One Hundred Googolplex Dollar Bill or just a One Googolplex Dollar Bill. If you have them, then how much for a 25 pack? Thank You. MY RESPONSE I will suggest this to our supplier. We get most of these novelty bills from a guy in Chicago who knows another guy in Chicago who apparently makes them in his basement. They have a more realistic feel than the ones we get elsewhere. I am kind of at his mercy, I had begged him to make some Sarah Palin money, could have sold tons of those. How much is a googolplex anyway? It sounds like a good name for an internet cafe.
