After breakfast with our friends this morning, Lew and I made a trip to Staples. I purchased our 2010 tax preparation software and some adding machine paper rolls.
While working on projects at home recently, I wished that I had an adding machine. So, I bought one about a week ago. But I needed some paper rolls, hence today's purchase.
I used an adding machine quite often at my recent job. Yet the machine that I had on my desk was this teeny little thing -- kind of like a Tinker Toy version. And it didn't work very well.
I asked a few times about getting a "big girl" adding machine, but I never got one. I guess the company didn't want to spend the money. I find this amusing, as the machine I bought for myself cost a mere $30. Isn't that a small price to pay to please a "valued" employee? (I've stopped trying to figure that one out!)
