Okay. So for today I am going to copy word for word "Monday March 2nd" from my green page a day calendar. Why? I found the comparisons astonishing! And there is one more reason. It's March, my least favorite month of the year. But the birth month of my dear best friend Bryn...who I think may find this tip helpful. Hint: I think her mouse is magnetically drawn to the Print button.
Wipe your prints: Wanton printing at the office doesn't just waste paper. It also wastes toner, which is rough on the environment, and the highly packaged cartridges it comes in. And it's expensive - a 2006 cost comparison found that printer ink costs $66 per ounce, compared to $44 an ounce for Chanel #5 and a mere $5 an ounce for Dom Perignon! To get the most out of your cartridges, set your default print settings to "draft". When printer cartridges run low, give them a shake to get the last bits of ink. Finally, always ask yourself (Bryn) if you really need that document printed; store your files electronically instead.
(Boy, wouldn't it be nice if I could write Dom Perignon off as a business expense!!)

Ok, I set my (work) printer to 'draft' and I am using my scrap paper in lieu of note pads. So when am I getting my Dom Perignon???

Sweetie it will take you YEARS to undo what you have done ;) How's a bottle of Korbel for the effort though?
And Baby Kate - yes, March IS a good month in terms of birthdays of loved ones. And I'll bet in Arizona it's gorgeous in March...I just hate March in PA!
