mutual ugh day

 in the afternoon i got an i.m. from somebody i didn't know. guess this is who calls for a courier for our tax specialist. it was an apology for the courier being late. courier arrived as i was getting back from having lunch in the breakroom, then i went over to the walgreen and got a bottle of iced coffee and some cookies. no ice cream candy bar so it meant lining up alternate plans. not a big deal to me on the late arrival. in fact, it was just as well as around midday i was on the phone with a tech about the inserter machine. found out there is another section of the machine where i can re-calibrate the sensors, the tower part. then i was able to get more checks run through. still a backlog, but it is now smaller than the previous day. i consider my goal of a thousand tax forms to be run through each day as being met, even though the machine said it was just under that. i still had to stuff some envelopes manually due to jams. another i.m. was from a home-based employee, near the end of the day, who said the business line name on the fargo checks was wrong. this would be in terms of how it reads in the return address section. i said you'd have to go to the fargo team about it as i just print them, i don't approve them. same rep said she had already contacted that team and said it couldn't be changed, so i don't know why i was contacted about it then. oh, as for the lady who apologized to me, when i explained the machine issues i was having, she said it was a 'mutual ugh day'. hadn't heard of that before but i guess it fits. i drank the bottle of summit with the evening meal so now three beers are waiting. during my walks i found 76 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when howard's mom was in the hospital. i have named it as my favorite episode, even though i noticed amy isn't in this one. it was followed by the one where sheldon and amy are on their honeymoon in new york city.
