Like a well oiled machine

Posted by Katie Pringle on September 10, 2007 11:34 AM | 

Got in. Got on the phone. Rang stationers to order more card. Stationers mocked me but ordered card. Logged on to the computer. Checked emails. Received 60 messages.

Deleted 40 containing porn. Read remaining messages and replied where necessary. Received call from stationers to say that some card not available the rest to be picked up tommorow. Searched youtube for current favourite song. Received call from another card supplier to confirm my order. Confirmed order.

Began internet search for inkjet printer cartridges for A1 printer. Received call from card supplier to pay for ordered goods and to confirm delivery time. Continued search for inkjet printer cartridges.

Fretted over lack of card and orders waiting to go out before trade show on friday. Let mind boggle as to why it should be so hard to buy printer ink from a printer ink manufacturer. Switched on printer to find out exactly how much ink I need and of what variety. Switched off printer to conserve electricty. And possibly printer ink.

Logged on to blog and read all current entries. Took call from a nice lady who had seen our products at the BCTF in March. Wrote comprehensive note detailing order from new stockist. Ended phone conversation happy and scared that we had another order. Realised with knuckle biting disbelief that I forgot to take new stockists address. Went Miss Marple on lack of address issue. Emailed new stockist with tail between legs. Asked for address.

Began a mammoth To Do list. Despaired of ever finding correct printer ink cartridge. Decided it was time for lunch.
