11 -- marci calls to ask if i was planning to join the call-in meeting.

11:05 -- marci forwards me the call-in info and meeting request. it is a strange attachment that i can't open. i try iCal and it won't open until i fill out fields in some address book application.

11:10 -- finally i get the number and code and call in. i basically reiterate everything i emailed to all involved last night.

11:35 -- hang up. debi comes over to get the status on the calendar printing and asks me to archive all my files for the IT Advantage welcome kit. so i do.

12 -- lunch.

1:40 -- debi stops by to give me a pile of service documents updates and a quick job for nancy, the new flower YAG for the lit packs.

2:10 -- send new PDF to debi, carol and kathy moore. debi asks me to archive the files and i do.

2:25 -- done archiving the lit pack sample calendar, start archiving the other 3 (monthly, YAG letter-size and YAG tabloid size) in the office advisor folder.

2:50 -- done archiving, lenore comes over with print samples of the monthly calendar, collated and stapled. she is going to confirm quantities for me once we hear how much the collating, folding and stapling is going to cost. she gives me a few more edits.
