Amused Is Better Than Annoyed!

I am probably more amused than I should be at how my "productive" day is going.

My To Do list, and how each task went down:
[/] deposit checks - one was easy-peasy, the other was not valid as People's Bank's online bill pay thing is an idiot and wrote the check out to Ruthie. Not the name provided, but the NICKNAME given the online bill pay account. Because that's obviously who the bill will be made out to, the NICKNAME. >.<

[/] update Diplomatic Solutions teasers to LinkedIn and Facebook - I had already posted many teasers to LinkedIn last week, but had to redo them all today because our Webmaster changed the url to every single editorial I had posted. Then, Facebook yelled at me for posting too many at once (said I was going to annoy people, even though what I was doing didn't hit people's pages...), so I've had to do it in chunks all day, lest my account be banned for who knows how long. Still waiting to finish.

[x] create backprint account so Dad and I can sell pictures - I created the account! Then I went to change the password to something I could remember! And it reset and didn't tell me what the new one was! So now I can't change it again and I'm afraid to log out! Huzzah!

[x] write up summary of last Tuesday's Diplomatic Solutions meeting - took me several hours to write a dozen lines, but it's done!

[x] take out the recycling - left the empty bins in my car!

[o] get groceries - waited for BJ to get home, as Sameh said they also needed things. I heard BJ tell Sameh they didn't have enough money to go shopping, then they both went in their room without relaying any decision, and I think they're taking a nap (no, that's not a euphemism; they both worked full shifts today). I have no idea if they still want to come with us or not.

[o] download Chris's articles to edit - not done yet

[o] work on promo & ad copy - not done yet

So, of the eight things I wanted to do today, half have had some problems that interfered with their execution, and three are not done yet for various reasons (other people, distraction, laziness, etc).

Productive day. And yet I feel like a clown. Close enough!
