So, Thursday Already...

I'm getting a lot of stuff done, but the novel rewrite/copyediting continues to be the heaviest load. Of course, it would be easier to concentrate on that alone if everything else under the sun wasn't all due at the exact same time. When it rains, it pours!

But now the solictation copy for July books is sent off to Diamond. (Furrlough #162, with a cover by zorichan, Milk #54, with a cover by missmonstermel, Anubis: Dark Desire #3, featuring all the lovely art ladies and then some, and Hit the Beach #13, with a cover by Ursula Husted and Phil Morrissey, in case anyone was curious.) Genus #76 is at the printers, they are just waiting on paperwork from Diamond, we are in the middle of Furrlough #157, and the Radio online store has just been updated with new products and new specials (spotlighting the talented Mark Moore this week). I've done reorders for other books we need to restock on (more yaoi, go figure...), answered a ton of email (though there is still a ton more), and put out various low-grade fires in the mail order department. (Lately, the post office has been *extremely* slow in getting first class or priority mail to its destinations... I don't know what the deal is, really, but honestly, priority mail should never take two to three weeks to get somewhere!)

Now to go do more work and then go pay the storage rent.

Re: How to solve 99% of your mail-transit-time problems

Hmm, I went to look at their website, but it's down for monthly maintenence, so I can't even find out if A) there's a monthly fee on top of the postage, B) if you can use a bank account that doesn't have a debit card attached to the account (the Radio account doesn't, for security reasons), and C) if there will be conflicts with using a Mac that is still on OS 9-ish. (The only computer in the house with a working printer currently is the iMac.)

Also, do they do pickup at apartments? Because our apartment mail carrier is woefully lazy and uninterested in doing work, and I think having to lug 50-75 packages away from our apartment every week would make the person completely rebel. (They already have tried to put a "hold" on our mail four times simply because they think we "get too much mail"- and this isn't even the amount of mail we get at the PMB address! It's just regular bills and circulars. And yes, they were reprimanded for doing this, which makes them treat our mail very... carelessly, shall we say.)
