JFlah's Blunders

I just stumbled across Lost & Taken , a great free texture site - probably the best free texture site anywhere online today. For those of us who can't make our own textures, and or just simply need to find our "tools" online, that site is one to visit.

I didn’t mention this before, but last month when they were doing evaluations and such, John gave me a stellar report and they told me that they were going to give me a small one time raise. It won’t kick in till January, but I’m very glad to know that it’s on the table. When it started to sink in that God had handled it for me again, I really got tear-ed up. It’s so hard making ends meet. I’ve been staying with my parents some to keep my costs down, but I need my independence more now than ever, so things are tough. I’m looking forward to January so that maybe I’ll be able to breathe when I go to the grocery store, or when I want to give a little extra for this charity or that charity.

It's very edgy - Andrew chose the font we're using for it all ( Octin Prison Free from dafont.com ). I've really enjoyed working on the imagery. Stanley sent me a few stills from the video and I photoshop-ed in the prison photo height marks before bringing them into the brochure document. His bulletin board looks great. He's got some of those...

   You know, I got this nice new computer – it runs the best of what the PC community has to offer, but the office Xerox isn’t playing nice. I’ve wasted so much time researching, sending Xerox inquiries and wasted lots of paper and energy trying to figure out why this PC is not working well with the Xerox. It works fine with every other printer in the office, but not with the one I need the most.   I’m running Windows 7 on a 64-bit machine. I’m using publisher, photoshop and other such programs. I had our computer tech guys install the drivers I needed when the new computer got here and then last week I had a Xerox guy come and install another driver to fix something, but I’m still having troubles – different troubles than before.   At this moment, the jobs I’m sending are simply not getting to the printer. I have network and internet access, so I’m not sure why my job isn’t showing up over there. And on top of that, somehow it’s coding a job that would normal...
