YOU’RE HAVING A BAD DAY WHEN -

• You accidentally delete a document you’ve been working

on for several hours.

• You leave something on top of your car as you drive off.
• No one understands the dazzling and conceptual idea you propose.
• Your boss wants to talk to you and it is Friday afternoon.

You get a call from your landlord that people are coming by to look at the house/apartment you have been renting.

THE END OF NEWSPAPERS IS A BIT PREMATURE — You may be reading this on any one of your digital devices, but consider this from author Walter Issacson -“As the medium for the display of information, the printed page is superb. It affords enough resolution to meet the eye’s demand, it presents enough information to occupy the reader for a convenient quantum of time, it offers great flexibility of font and format, it lets the reader control the mode and rate of inspection. It is small, light, moveable, cut-able, clip-able, paste-able, replicable, disposable and inexpensive.”
