Exactly! - I don't even have one. But we have a virtual fax number. So I'm having to go through those hoops to fax it that way.

It just cracked me up. She also already paid the last invoice so not sure what the issue is there

Yeah, that was a crazy, awful time in history.

Yesterday I get an email back from someone I had just sent and email to. With her pdf invoice attached - this is what she said:

"Can you fax me this invoice and the previos one as they are too faint to print"

Really? I really want to email her back and tell her to change her printer cartridge. But I suppose that isn't a good thing to do......
You can't cure stupid. Thanks for the laugh!

Maybe a manager is looking for it to compile a report that includes those expenses, but that invoice is missing from her vendor file because she is disorganized with filing. I've seen this happen many times througout my career. I'll go to accounting to pull vendor files to do a report and half of the invoices are missing from the files. Makes me crazy!

Morning all! Mother Nature threw a curve ball and the bulk of the haboob went off to our east. We got some dust but not the brunt of it. Thank goodness. We're up in the hills so we had a good view of it rolling past in the distance. Lots of people on clean-up duty this morning. Very glad it's not me. Thanks for all the good thoughts!

Now for coffee.

She's a one man show - owns her own business.

Dew - I'm glad you missed the dust storm. Did your DH get some good footage?

Yeah, pretty good. He wasn't out too long because he wasn't prepared and didn't want to get the dust in his camera but good enough. The rolling motion of the dust came across pretty well. That's the part that caught my attention.

Anyone watching live footage of the Rupert Murdoch hearing? What a crazy circus, someone just threw shaving cream in his face.

So MissFR is getting in the bath just now because we're going to check out a PreK this afternoon. The bathroom in the daylight is not the most flattering of lighting setups. She looks at me as I'm taking her hair out of her ponytail and says "Mommy, are those your wrinkles?".

Maybe I spend too much time over here and not enough time over in Beauty getting Retinol tips from citrus fruits.
