It landed it on my pearly-white walls. I was so concentrated on trying to kill the thing that I didn’t realize what I did until I did it! I smacked my slipper on the wall to kill it because I had no other weapon in hand. Now I have a black slipper mark on the wall. I haven’t cleaned it off yet. It’s a warning to all the insects to come after that no wall is too white to smoosh them on.

20090520-smicwhssThe last couple weeks I have set aside a brochure I was making for the school. This week, our students are performing at a nearby shopping centre and it would be silly of us not to have brochures or something to hand out to curious parents. We have a flyer for our English Immersion Summer Camp but none of the school itself. So this week I have been scrambling to get it completed. I was only able to finish it because of the prompt translations, the remade logo by Felix because I was too lazy to do it myself, and all the great pictures we had stored away on everyone’s computers. The brochure is off to the printer and hopefully ready before our performance. I’m hoping no one will notice the fake grass that I clone in front of the school. It’s better than the dirt and building materials that was in the original!

You can also download Business Contact Manager, which comes with the original retail version of Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007. It is a separate download from the Office Suite, the link is provided on the receipt page.
