Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-10-2016

Oh, would you believe it … ?

I’ve got MORE printing to do.

Yesterday?

Yesterday, I completed what I thought was the last bit of printing I need to do.

I had.

Or, at least, I’d done the last bits of printing … for my new employers.

That was done … 

But frankly?

I’m now off over to my mother’s, to borrow my sister’s printer … to do the last bits the Job Centre needs … !

Oy vey … !

Enjoy your day … 

*        Actually, Olga, that’s another good reason to get a Mac.   You don’t need the little USB dongle for the mouse and keyboard: they’ve got bluetooth built in.   (Saying that?   I prefer the wired Mac keyboards: they’ve got built in USB hubs.   I’ve had external hard-drive — or wired mice — hooked up to the keyboards for years.   Which leaves the USB ports on the machines for other stuff.)

†        Sorry, I meant training, Debbi!   Honestly, my typing’s getting worse! :D At ANY rate … ?   Nice to know you’re spreading you wings!   (Hmmm … I keep seeing items on Click, about how many Indies are using iPhones — plus a lot of added tripods — to shoot footage.   I’m also very aware Monsters was filmed on digital cameras, edited on a Mac … and shot on a comparatively small budget.)
