re-format day

 this was the big re-format day for the check files. quite a few were done so there are not many left to do. i did not see the i.t. employee right away at work so i sent an email and got an i.m. response. i got started on other files, such as ACH, while i was waiting. it was harder to get all duties complete due to having somebody in the shop but i am likely to get caught up on tuesday. i held serve on the largest files, still a half-day behind. there was one file we could skip as it was canadian checks and it already uses a different stock. it was the first time i had met this colleague. this was also the first day of a new timecard reporting system. i had to read the reminder email as a guide to try to get it done the way it should be. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 65 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were about a quiz bowl. it was followed by the one at howard's bachelor party. i did the open-mic in the evening and one story i told was my take about a recent TV commercial. it led to the MC telling us about waterloo. i said to a performer that an original song he did reminded me of the plain white t's, and the response was he had heard this before. this is a recent college grad who had studied engineering.
