delayed mundane things

 at work i wanted to stay busy in the morning so i decided to get caught up on some mundane things that had been delayed for a while. there was three in particular. one was finding a check that had been scanned to another department, and send it to the shredder. also sent to this bin was two boxes full of invoices that originated in new york and forwarded from our head office in a nearby town. the former i was told to have destroyed last week. the latter i got an email from a senior leader in july saying to dispose of it since we made multiple attempts to find the owner. the third was getting toner cartridges, two of them, ready for being returned to the recycle department. i will see they are 'put out' for pick-up in the morning. there were two dial-in meetings but i still did some work during both. if there were checks to print i still printed them. one was boring, going over the earnings numbers. the one in the afternoon was about survey results. and also about moving stickie notes around the link. i posted one, it said 'recognition'. at the end of the day a friend from meetup arrived, dropping off a script for my role in a little over a week. after this was done i still had to go back inside to finish up on work as there was a late request for checks to be overnighted. there always is this file late in the day, but the volume of overnight requests was still higher than other days. in addition, the two files that have been arriving late did so again, after a day of being on time. it was a little annoying to have a request to pull two checks and overnight them to a branch, separate from what i figured was going to be it on email requests. i had just run them through the envelope stuffer when i was notified, but was able to find both. i have had to do this before so i know it helps to have the payee and city name when searching. i drank the can of amstel light with the evening meal so now there are 3 beers waiting. also in the evening i went on a walk and found 3 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when sheldon was ill and his friends tried to avoid him by going to a 'planet of the apes' marathon.
