flippin'

[da]

Last night, I discovered that Staples Copy and Print finally works with non-IE browsers. So I can get my schtuff printed at staples without mucking with IE on Windows. That's progress.

Unfortunately, my pamphlet I wanted to print there has a fatal flaw: I can't figure out how to flip the inside page, so both sides will be appropriate-side-up when it's folded. Rather, I can't be bothered to figure out how to find the Open Office 'make a book' setting right now. (which is one of the reasons I'm not a professional designer...) No matter, it's a small enough batch I can print and fold it myself.

...and a public memo to my bank:

If you're gonna call at 6:30pm and say "this is your local bank branch. Please call us back tomorrow," you really can give some sort of hint that you want to SELL ME SOMETHING and not that it's, y'know, a real emergency. Because when I call 10 times the next day from work, worried my ID was stolen or something, and still can't get ahold of the right person, I will be quite irritated when you finally call me back (at work, in late afternoon) and launch into a sales pitch. And I will be no less irritated when you act surprised and apologetic, but claim you're only following privacy regulation. Thanks.

Yeah, I was going to ask the same question. We might consider taking the Scotiabank people up on their constant offers of an easy switch if this keeps up. Some time ago, TD kept me on hold for 15 minutes so that I could activate my new card, while they pitched me that bullshitty "credit insurance" crap.
