    Heads up on schools

    If you get a gig picking up stuff from schools might want to mention to the person
    to tell ground crew not to cut off cords off monitors and printers and so forth.

    Picked up a trailer full mostly monitors and laptops along with other stuff.
    He gonna call me when summer updates for towers are done,
    But anyways every freaking cord was cut so I was not amused.
    I should have said something but didn't think I needed to oh well always let them know what you expect.

    On a side note I got a box full of generic type ink that's never been open what a waste.
    I wonder if anyone buys them lol.

    What do mean by generic type ink? Are they ink cartrages for printers or just bottles of ink?

    The ink cartridges says comparable to epson or hp type ink cartridges. One brand is called rainbow jet
    and alot are still in boxes that from looks of it never been open but some have expire date from 2004.
    And yes for printers.

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    It was snot meant to upset you. I'm sorry, I deleted it. It was meant to give you a chuckle but I it wasn't very tact. Again my apologies.

    Oh lol its ok I actually laughed as I knew what it meant but didnt know if it was a shot at me I just thought I had a reasonable explanation.
    Im sure the director didnt even know the guy cut the cords off including on the laptops so no way of knowing if they work or not.
    The grounds guy gets all the other scrap from school so I figured since I had dibs on computer stuff he should have left it be but
    no biggie I will stay make money on this and plus I got all the towers and stuff to look forward to so all is good in my world lol.

    We pulled a box truck load of TV's out of a warehouse and over half of them had the cords cut, there went half the profit from a TV.

    Hey IAscrapper, you can take the ink cartridges to office depot for store credit or go to this web site eCycle Group - Home I use them all the time and never had a problem yet.
