Yeah. I'm using a cool program called GarageSale, which is great.... but I still have to add my own comments to each item. I find I sell more when I put a little context in the descriptions.

Do tell us about your desired purchase!

Sometimes I'll write out a paragraph or two on Word and then cut-n-paste to the ad itself. I'll have to check out GS.

It's a decent video camera that's also a 6 megapixel still camera.

It looks cool:

And it's small:

And it's relatively cheap.

Here's a cool review including sample pics.

I love the way it looks. It's sort of 1970's spywearish.

So....including today, I have 7 work days left in my current job. I'm working lots of extra time to get something done for them prior to my departure, but officially 7 work days.

They have had some rather complex government billing programs from me, tested and delivered 8 months ago, that they have never bothered to review or even install. OK....that's the life of IT and contracting. No skin off my nose. I got paid whether they use it or not.

However, with my imminent departure, they decide to review it and came up with a couple of problems and a few revisions they want (I don't believe are problems are actually problems, but that's another story). What am I to do? I'm already working 12-13 hours/day on this other project.

I am in the position to have very little tolerance with them. I told them they've had a long time to review it, decide to do it with my departure right around the corner, and I'll get to their concerns when I get to them.

If they give me grief, my limited support rate/hour is going to double. I let their IT manager know this and he is quite displeased with their accounting department.

It's my "grand" Niece (I guess that's what you call it). She's visiting from Colorado.

One more just because....
