Printing+Editing=Stress

Sorry I have written for a while. The merging of the offices has added a few extra hours of work for myself and others at the office. Everyone is still on edge, trying to figure out how everyone is going to work together. Culture in an office is so important. We had our own way of doing things, and they had theirs. The problem is how do you keep everyone happy? One of my recent tasks is to rewrite the employee manual. My bosses tell me it is not even permanent. Not sure what I am going to do. I found something yesterday that sounds good. One of my favorite blogs wrote about a binding machine that has spines that you can edit. It is about $1600, so I am wrote a request yesterday for one. We will see what happens. I just so worried about taking it to a printer, and paying a high price for something that will be changed in a month.  I called Office Depot, Kinkos, and Staples and they don’t offer this kind of spine. I think my boss will eventually get what I am trying to say. And hey, having our own binding machine would eventually pay for itself.  Here is where I found my info.

Where is the Office?

I am getting quite frustrated with NBC Thursday nights. This writers’ strike has gone on long enough. I already know these episodes, and I can recite each episode line by line. When will it come back? However, there is a major distraction this time of year that helps me to deal with my lack of Michael Scott… Christmas. Not only is our office holiday party coming up this saturday (Yes, too close to Christmas) but I am not finished Christmas shopping. Can you say, “Stressed?” If you are like me, you end up shopping for Office Products, 10x more than actually consumer products. That is why this year I am buying most of my family and friends, products like Day Planners, Calendars, Label Makers, and Small Shredders. Is this so wrong? I am just curious if I am the only one who does this.
