The organizer for my Oct 25th fundraiser just called to tell me she needs me to print up & sticker 350 more postcard invotes for her and ship them up to her (from FL to NJ) like YESTERDAY!

ACK!!!!

I have spent the last hour printing and stickering...and have only completed about 100. My printer is overheating...it's going to be a loooong night.
 
You should've just taken one printed label page and the blank labels and gone to Kinkos or someplace with a copier and made copies!

Where are your kiddos when you need them??? Ha ha!! (for labeling the cards)

Good luck!!
 
I hate it for you Carolyn.....wish it were my problem :p
 
yep~I'm with Linda...no sympathy here girl! Just keep sticking, just keep sticking.....
