If I'm at work, I'm going to clear my email inbox - I consider that a habit rather than a todo. I realize you might be using shorthand and email might mean more than that :). What exactly did you do to Lisa? The fact that she's crossed off is a bit unnerving! I always find it useful not to put trivial items on my todo lists.

Yesterday I wanted to order cheques. Here is how it went * work through automated selection system * punch in info to automatically order cheques * have automated voiced tell me my cheques cannot be ordered this way * talk to live person, to find out they won't accept a change of address * phone bank and work through automated selection system * decide I need a live person * live person tells me I should have phoned her in the first place * rant at the Lion about how inefficient entire process was *smile* Don’t you just love time saving technology that isn’t?

I can't get a stumble or a digg button on my blog and it's driving me insane. I also lost my password to Commission Junction and can't access my account. Ugh! Now I have those three items pending on my to do list. I too find it maddening when the promise of technology bliss fails.

Now you don't have to mail the book separately....another money saver, too. Hi Ann,
