I am so SMRT! OpenNTF.org – Print attachments with OLE Automation I can’t believe it, I got a Lotusscript working that prints file attachments from selected emails! It almost worked “out of the box” from this website, but the comments included additional clues, and I ended up registering so that I could ask a couple of specific questions. In the meantime, I learned a tiny bit about how to load a Lotuscript – and even how to remove whitespace so that it’s properly formed (not difficult, as Lotus has highlighting all set up so you know when you’ve gone wrong).…

This is the closest approximation I can find to what was "liberated" for me at work: It needs a power cord (though there may be one already at the desk it's at that fits) and probably needs new ink cartridges. No telling if it works – would need a phone/data cable to attempt to hook it up. The pillager who found it for me mentioned in passing that the "fax part is busted." We'll see about that once I get a chance to find the online documentation. Buy supplies for Officejet 6110 direct from the HP Home &…

This was not one of my better weeks. I found myself spinning in place, buried in paper, trying to adapt to this new process at work for handing a whole new division of our main client – a division that’s completely and never will be, because they won’t ever have company corporate cards. This forces us into an untenable situation – arrange travel (mostly hotels, some air, a few cars) that is completely paid for by the the division, and handle all of these reservations not by phone, but by forms that are either faxed or emailed as attachments to…

It’s been a busy week at work and at home and at church. I’ve gotten through a ton of work at work, done not so much work as a lot of thinking at home, and did some interesting new things at church. Saturday, didn’t do too much – I was thinking a lot about family members near and far, hoping for the best for one person in particular. Schlepped around and relaxed, otherwise. Much playing with the cat. David went in to work for the whole day, leaving me to my own devices. Sunday started out with a big last-minute…

There’s something that’s been building and building for months now; I feel really overwhelmed and stressed out much of the time, while simultaneously feeling like I’m not pulling enough weight for other people on my team. Problem is, the tasks that I currently cover don’t play well with each other. Also, the new technology that we’re supposed to be using for making reservations leaves much to be desired. Here’s a partial list of tasks, some of which I’ve been totally neglecting because the first two tasks take up the great bulk of my time: Small group hotels (taking up about…

Last night at about the time when people log out and go home, we got word that there was a big accident at the intersection at the far end of the parking lot. Supposedly, the intersection was closed and they were re-routing cars around it; it's been listed as one of the most dangerous intersections in this part of the suburbs because of the high number of serious accidents that occur there. Fair enough, I made mental note to possibly hook around and take the tollway in the direction of home. As I left the building, a long, long string…

This training class is going a little better today. More later, but the post will remain password-protected.

I've got a long, password-protected draft going. I'm not sure if I will publish it or not, as it's all about a training experience I'm currently having. It is not going well. It's not good when a class starts out with cartoon characters depicting change as the Big Bad Wolf, and with Lisa Simpson quoting the well – known but possibly Snopesian phrase that in Chinese, the words for change and opportunity are the same. I must be flexible yet strong like bamboo, and not unyielding and sharp like katana. Arrrrgh.

Popping Off: Its up to us to put an end to the O.J. frenzy “If I Did It.” That’s a heck of a title for a ghostwritten book about how O.J. Simpson would have killed two people who many believe he did kill in 1994. One was his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, with whom he had two children, Sydney and Justin. The other was her friend, Ron Goldman. Both were found in a bloody heap in the courtyard of the condo complex where she lived. I’m having a flashback to a year that was a big turning point for me,…
