a variety of interruptions

had to cancel the direcTV service. easiest way to resolve billing was to pay new bill, and they'll refund the balance. takes "6 to 8 weeks", but i'll get my money back. still have to cancel time warner...who say if i cancel the service, verizon will not be able to transfer the numbers. when we switched from verizon to comcast several years ago, NOT cancelling the service resulted in my being billed for two extra months by verizon (who apparently never got a "cancel" order). i'm not going to be a happy camper if TW messes this up.

but, paying the satellite bill pointed out a mis-communication with the printer. wasn't sure if it was low on ink, couldn't get supply levels. restarting the printer got it working, but i needed to order ink. neighbor kid is coming over with a .pdf file he wants printed - maybe i should install the last cartridge?

that's got the other desk occupied. can't do what i was going to do next - guess i'm back to packing books... naw - i'll just have another cuppa java. it can't take more than a few minutes to print the file. and clearing the other desk is high priority. won't do to get really involved when i can do what i need to do first.
