Will do. Good luck. Uncle Joe signing off.

There are some books on Publisher. Nothing really in depth but enough for the casual user. Barnes & Noble
has a nice little one for $10.

And yes, I do want that job. I really enjoy working there. Keep your fingers crossed for me. ;-)

In the meantime, why not write a book on using Publisher?
I have Publisher on my PC but have never taken the time
to study it. You're an MVP and have access to other MVPs.
There's always a demand for colorful, easy-to-understand
introductory books on topics. Earn some extra cash that
way.

If you want to become a permanent employee, good luck on
having the VP approve the change in your employment status.

Actually, there are talks about making me permanent. The VP just needs to understand the need for another
staff member and then approve the new position. It has nothing to do with my ability, it's purely a
budgetary issue.

Believe me, I make sure they "remember" my situation whenever they ask me to send them a file or get them
a copy on those days when I am dislocated. ;-)

On a positive note, I have Office Pro XP on the laptop and only Word and Excel 2000 on my work system. I
prefer the newer versions. :-)

Understand all that you said, but the problem remains:
How are you going to cope with an unfortunate situation
where you're relegated to a back corner with no phone or
printer access? You either (1) tolerate it for the duration of
the temp job, or (2) do something positive to change the
situation. Talk to Management. Explain how having a real
desk, phone, and printer access can make you even more
productive.

(1) No locker

(2) I'm still a temp. They should be glad that I'm willing to use my own equipment and not charge them
for its use.

(3) I don't need an extra printer for my personal use and I am not forking over my money for the
equipment and consumables for their use.

I know that sounds odd but I'm not getting big bucks. Even if I had my own printer, I would still have
to pay for the ink and I'm not going to pay for supplies to do my job.

Perhaps I'm not fully understanding the odd situation but if you
miss printer access so much, why not buy a nice little printer for
your own use? You can buy a cheap Lexmark printer at Wal-Mart
for $39.99 or a faster, better quality HP or Canon printer for $80.
You can store the printer in the bottom of your locker when not in
use.

I rarely get calls at work so that part isn't a big issue. It's the no printer access which really gets
to me.

I share a computer with someone at work myself. It's not the computer that
I
mind sharing, it's that when she comes into work, I have to move all of my
stuff into a small breakroom with a small table. If it wasn't that I use
my
own craptop (which I volunteered to use) I'd have no computer. I have no
network access, no printer access, and no phone. May I use your advice so
I
can stop moving my stuff for two days a week?

How is that done?
