Shipped off an eBay package, and will have at least one more early in the week.

I have a list of bills for which I have to sort out details this month. The cell phone bill was taken care of this evening (data charges were added on for picture mail that is supposed to be included in the plan, and they dropped $86 from the bill), and the cable bill last week (pared $30 off the monthly bill for Internet access; after the 6 month introductory rate the price was supposed to go up, but there is competition moving into the area, and they bowed to the pressure to leave my price lower for another 6). Next, getting the electric company to drop of bogus penalty of $25 from two months ago. I've withheld the payment as a disputed fee, and had no answer to my certified letter. Must call again.) And so it goes. . . These are the things that pile up, papers on a desk, but when addressed, they add up to real money.

Taking another day off on Monday, to finish off the extra leave before the end of August. I'll be doing some work tomorrow, so I'm really just swapping days.
