Things are absolutely better

susandennisFirst of all I got a great sleep last night. No waking up coughing at all. Yesterday morning I pretty much wanted a cigarette all morning long. Today, I had a couple of twinges and then forgot about it. I know it will not be this easy but I'm grateful for an easy day.
I celebrated by getting my hair totally chopped off. It wasn't that long to start with but I had her cut it back about 3/4ths of it's length. I told her to think bald and then come back from there about an inch. She did and I'm happy. This way I can stretch one haircut out 14 weeks and still have it be basically no maintenance. The funny part is that I had it done at lunch and came back to work and no one has noticed... Can you say invisible?? This amuses me.
My mortgage broker found me what looks like a pretty decent deal... 5.875% with relatively low fees over my current 7.25%... I may just do it.
I'm having post-it notes with our company logo and contact info on it made up. I spent a fair amount of time getting the design just exacly like I wanted it. I sent the vendor a PDF of my design with specific dimensions, font information and all of the detail one could possibly need. Today I got a proof. Wrong size paper, wrong size logo, wrong font, wrong font size, wrong emphasis... They did get the color correct - Navy. The sales rep said 'oh well, aren't we glad we got a proof???'. I suggested that I wasn't all that crazy about doing stuff twice so maybe she could look at the proof and at my request to see if they match BEFORE she sent it to me????? What this woman doesn't get is that she has competition breathing down her neck. I've got a guy who offers just what she does and I'll just bet you he'd do it right the first time...
I have redone about half of the corporate website. For each of the about 300 pages I have to strip out the flash detector, strip out the flash pointers and replace them with a straight table and images... It's mind numbing work but I'm half done and I should be able to finish up tomorrow. It's going to look very very nice.
