I've got two days work doing stocktake for Everything Here $2 and the Reject Shop. I worked from 3 till 8 tonight and I start again at 1 tomorrow. They had these nifty little scanners that made the job so much easier. Of course there was still all that counting, but I didn't get much of that. I went around all night scanning and entering in the count. I quite enjoyed it. Tomorrow won't be as easy. Everything is crammed so tight into the Reject Shop. I remember last year I got the lolly section, followed by stationary. It was a nightmare. First unpacking and then counting as you're re-packing, because you can't get your arm into the shelves.
Carly was the perfect angel for me today. She offered to look after Alex and cook tea. She made a pretty nice mince casserole that Alex raved about. He doesn't rave about my cooking! Carly even took all the washing off the line for me.
This morning I had to go to the dentist. I broke a tooth eating sugar-coated peanuts, and now $200 later I swear I'll never buy them again. An expensive little lesson has been learned. The rest of the morning and night I've been preparing a report for a client who wants it posted to the web but secure so that it cannot be copied or downloaded. I found a program called HTML Guard that claims to be able to do all that. The only drawback is that it has to be in a HTML format. It was a document, so I've been converting it to HTML all night. It's turned into a 13-page report so far, with lots of photos, and hopefully not too slow to load. I've yet to check it out in it's entirety yet, there's still 2 or 3 pages to go.
There's a drought for ages for work and now it comes all at once. Another friend is waiting for me to get around to her place with antivirus and firewall software to install. She also wants a web page. I'm hoping to get there tomorrow and at least install the software. I can get all the details for the web page and work on it at home, after I've finished Neil's job. Another friend is waiting for me to upgrade their computer to XP, which I've been promising to do for a month. One for my to-do list.
