Credit Cards and Lemonade
The credit card terminal arrived today! Along with the stickies for our window—“we accept these cards here.” In plenty of time for opening up on Tuesday.
But wait. You knew that sounded too good to be true. The DSL/phone line plugs into the router, CC terminal must plug into a router, the router plugs into the computer. No worries, I have a brand new shiny router fresh from Windstream (remember the Windstream stories?) Yep. They sent me a PC only router. I have a Mac. No hope of returning it and getting a new one before Tuesday. In San Francisco, maybe. In Truchas? I’ll be lucky if I see the correct equipment in a fortnight.
The lemonade part is—they also sent me an old-fashioned imprinter with accompanying 3-part forms. I can call in by phone for my authorization codes. So I am still able to take charges should anyone be moved to buy art before all the electronics are in place. Way!
In office arrangement news I moved the hulking (but great) printer under the desk and did a lot of re-arranging and file clearing, etc. I managed to make things more efficient as well as afford a great deal of increased speed on the fung-shui energy flow front, plus it looks far, far better.
I also sighed long and hard yet assigned myself to the task of putting curtains, or ‘skirts’ if you will, over the supply shelves in the studio (plain white muslin—now all my stuff may as well be behind the adobe wall) and the ‘under the kitchen sink stuff’ now dressed up behind a cheery chili-pepper skirt.
It snowed all day. Was not required to capture and release any small animals.
