» #9
Excitement of the day: the #9 envelopes have arrived.
#9 envelopes, if you were unaware, are utterly brilliant. They are just slightly smaller than #10′s, which are standard business-size envelopes, but they’re still wider than standard paper (8 7/8″, to be precise). So what does all that mean? It means we have return envelopes. Return envelopes that I don’t have to feed tediously through the printer and then fold in unprofessional thirds to tuck in outgoing envelopes.
When we ordered them I tried to express to my boss how important they were, how wonderful, what a Good Thing they were. He didn’t seem to understand, really, or be nearly as excited as I was. So I just content myself with the thought that scattered everywhere out there are legions of support personnel who would hear about this recent improvement and nod and nod and nod, knowing.
