presidential pets

on CBS tonight there was a special about celebrity pets. of interest to me was the segments about the pets kept by presidents, they profiled calvin coolidge and theodore roosevelt. at work my boss called me in the afternoon shortly after i got back from lunch. it was in reference to an email asking for 2 checks to be overnighted, and wanting a tracking number from it. i had to ask what was so special about it. then i found out it was going to a lawyer office. when i created the label after looking at the checks i noticed there was no 'overnight' code on it. so it was a good thing that they told me as otherwise i would have sent them regular mail. i finished 3,000 checks from a big file, my boss wanted as many done as possible with it. i had hoped that doing 2,000 in the morning before printing anything else would be enough, but on the same call as the one about overnights i was asked to do more whenever i had any down time. that late in the day i knew i couldn't do 2,000 more if i wanted to send them all out same-day. there still was some from another business line where all i had time for was to print them out, because they were sent late, just after 3pm. this is a business line that usually sends them at least an hour before then. but they know the rules, about needing to give me enough turnaround time. so i have the proverbial 'work cut out for me' when i return on tuesday. 

in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 47 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when howard and raj helped sheldon do a puzzle as a craigslist ad to meet a lady. amy went on a date with a british man and her friends were caught spying on her. it was followed by the one where they started over on the rotation, going back to the first episode where sheldon and leonard meet their new neighbor, penny. i also made it to hy-vee in eagan for my weekly grocery order. still seeing some cereal boxes where the 'space jam' movie logo is showing, and i got another one. eventually i will want to cash out on points and get the prize i want. also at work on the way in to the shop i bought a candy bar from the vending machine, since i had reached my save-up goal. it was a butterfinger, largely due to a memory of 'the simpsons' being part of an ad campaign.
