Christmas Programming Errors

Programming Error #1:
The Walgreens photo machine. TWDF (The Whole Damn Family) went to George Webb's for breakfast today (motto: Free second-hand smoke with every meal!). Greasy and delicious, as usual. Afterwards, we headed up to Walgreens to order our Christmas cards. I'll post a scan when we get them. I'm very happy with this year's card. Anyway. We designed the cards, entered the number to print and got our total: $358. Paired with the other print job, our grand total came to roughly $500. When we came to and picked ourselves up off of the floor, we were assured that the actual total will be something like 1/10 of that. Gee, y'think they might put a sign on the machine? Somebody will have a heart attack!

Programming Error #2: The least-objectionable radio station in Milwaukee (not to be confused with my favorite - I have only one favorite station, WXRT, the Wax Rat, from Chicago) has decided that November 11th is the optimal day to start their Christmas programming. All Christmas, all day for around 45 days. Great. Not only is there non-stop Christmas on the radio, but it's on the least-objectionable station. Not looking good for holiday bliss this year.
