A conversation

I needed to call USMA West Point Aaffes this morning to get a street address for Gene, he's going out east to visit 19 bases in 10 days.

I tried the PX, no answer, tried the Commissary, no answer.

So, I called the Point information line.

Young male voice: USMA West Point Information Line, How may I be of Service Sir or Ma'am?

Me: I was trying to reach the Exchange but no one is answering, is there a second number I could try?

YMV: No Ma'am.

Me: I need a street address on Point to plug into my GPS so I don't get lost--

YMV: Of course Ma'am.

Silence.

Me: Could you provide me with a street address, please?

YMV: Of course, Ma'am. -------------

Me: Thank you. Could you verify the Exchange number I have? ------------

YMV: That is accurate Ma'am.

Me: Hmmmm, I wonder why no one was there?

YMV: There's a football game, Ma'am.

Me: I thought that was tomorrow.

YMV: It is Ma'am.

Silence.

Me: Thank you for your help.

YMV: Your welcome, Ma'am.

Compiling databases,

I spent the last week combiling "The Big Book of Incorporated in 1908." Towns and cities edition.

It's just online research for towns and cities incorporated in 1908. Simple, huh? Tried to get the address, contact name, and phone number for as many as possible. Made a 4 inch binder bulge, so I must have done okay.

I'm going to do a little more polish work on it today and then start on "The Big Book of Founded in 1908." Should be exciting.

GSA

I'm just plugging away at entering items into the next evolution of the GSA Catalogue.

It takes about 12 minutes an item. I have 156 entered as of this morning. But now I have to go back and paste in a &cid=107 onto each individual entry (on the see product webpage).

Cool nuff

I now have business cards.

GSA

The SIP upload got bounced, seems there was a change issued in 2004, so more paperwork.

I put in an artwork request this morning for a Citizen coin. We'll see where it goes.

Mostly just doing random searches for coin worthy events today. Waiting for Gene to get me the last piece of info I need for the SIP.

Friday

I received my first request for a price quote today. That's cool.

I'm tired. Lack of sleep, lots of work to do, lots of work to do this weekend. Bleh!
