Haha, yea one audio cassette.  I told him that same thing, and provided evidence of how much it should cost. And he kept it was insisting it was more and came back with a calculation for envelope that was 15"x10".  I told him a regular padded envolope should be half that size.

He came back with "ok, sorry! C4 letter works too." and reduced the cost by 20 euros…

Thanks to you for offering to proxy Eli.  Once I mentioned that he could proxy it, he sent me the new invoice.  So something convinced him.

There goes that profit margin…

[thomasnunnally]

My thought exactly…

Can not be the same fellar, but one time this guy took a bit of time to ship me a rather expensive rec… I told him me and a mate were ready for a li'l trip to Germany to come see him (and I wasn't kidding)... Couple of hours later I got me tracking #...

Same with this French guy who owed me money... Found a French mate who had seen him at a local punkshow... PM'ed him saying what he was wearing... Oh that money was wired to me faster than lightning...

This asshole should have paid for those 9634 back in the day and he wouldn't be looking like such a schlub.

What a bitch of a day.  For some reason, UPS World Ship only works under Windows and they won't load it onto a Mac running VMWare.  So we have a Dell lap top just for shipping.  It's only 3 months old as the previous one crapped out.  Today it stopped communicating with the printer, it can see it, knows it's there but wont effing print.  Tried all the usual shit like deleting and reinstalling.  So to actually be able to ship we have had to print to Adobe, take the files to one of the Macs and print.  It has taken feckin ages.  To crown it all, in the moving of memory sticks backwards and feckin forwards I knocked a cup of coffee over the key board and mouse of my Big Mac.  New keyboard required.  Paula is feckin off on Holiday for a week on Monday - I suspect she thinks I'll have it all sorted when she comes back….

Printers are shits. Bane of my existence when I used to do desktop support.

i somehow do love that sentence and yeah, i guess you´re right about that as well…so let´s hope Paula will have a great week of holidays with whoever she´s going with.
keep calm G. have a beer or two and take the rest off i´d say (hope it is that easy for ya!)... damn, it´s friday after all and there are enough other ways to get fekked...
hell, maybe everything is going to work again, if you open the doors of the office in the morning...wishful thinking but still crossing fingers

[rocket]

I so can understand you G…... hope you will get it sorted in no time..... and happy holidays Paula

Actually, she is going away with her family (20 of them) to a Villa in Spain.  I was invited, but quite frankly I'd  rather chew my toes off and sprinkle the raw stumps with salt unfortunately someone has to run the business…..

Yes, this exactly. Even back in the dark ages of Windows 95 and local printers hard wired to the desktops, printers were the source of 75% of my work.  The other 25% was "user error"; the unbelievable stupidity of the people having problems with their computer.

@Giles:

Well, that's hardly a fair choice, given your deficiency of toes…

[Seul]

Quite!..
