I have mentioned several times (am sure you are all sick of hearing it) that I run the school store at my son’s school. Right now we have 264 different items including snacks. It is quite the part-time job. I love it and next year when my son moves on to middle school, I am going to be so lost.
One of the most exciting things that I have done was to create a mascot for our school. Our city has 11 elementary schools and our school was the only one without a mascot. I created a contest and had the kids come up with suggestions and then we voted on their suggestions. The kids chose Bicentennial Bobcats as our mascot. I came up with a few ideas. I wanted t-shirts, hats, backpacks, pens, pencils and a few other items with our logo. With the help of Sherlock we created two wonderful bobcat designs. Sherlock is a very talented person and I don’t think I could have done the job without him. One of the major problems we had working together (besides the fact that WB couldn’t stand the fact that we were getting along – see Sherlock and I have this hate/like relationship. He hates me and I like him. Even though it was not always like that. Anyway I digress….) the major problem we had was after he created the design it was always too big to send via email. We tried several different ways and frankly he spent more time trying to get the file to me so that I could open it, then he did designing the work. Had we known about file sharing through Driveway, we would have been set.
Driveway is a program that allows you to upload files up to 500MB with a simple click. Sherlock and I spent hours trying to do what Driveway could have done for us in seconds. You can even edit the data stored via your browser using standard Microsoft Office applications. I need Sherlock to do some additional work for me and I know that the file will be too large to send via email. I am sure we will use Driveway. Some of the other features it offers are, faster uploads via the desktop plug-in, widgets for file sharing and free storage up to 2GB. 2GB that is larger than the hard drive on my computer. Amazing.
But if you know anything about me, you will know that Sherlock will have to teach me how to use it.

What?! Hate-Like relationship? I think you have the order wrong on that one.
And, I think it's great if you and sherlock are getting along. I also think you were frustrated at his short (in length not tone) emails to you. He's a slow typer, and thus a writer of few words.
Leave me alone will you..... I want to believe that it is all you, you, you...... Sherlock would be having sleepovers at our house if you would let him. haaaahaaahaaa. I wish I knew how to type thosse sounds as well as sarahk. That is suppose to be a very evil laugh.
Sorry to disappoint you but I don't hate anyone.
Oh come on..... There has to be someone you really hate. This whole thing was said tongue and cheek to lighten things up a bit. Take it for what it is.
You know I said tons of nice things but it was the negative that you concentrated on.
