yeah. i can fit four scanned pages on one page, thereby cutting costs down to 25%. well, if i end up paying $0.25/sheet, and i have to print 60 pages three times, it's not a small sum. that's $45. i think i can find it somewhere for $0.15/sheet, but that's still $27. sure, i'd like to avoid paying for that.

if i can get it down to 20 pages or so, that's $15 at $0.25/sheet - or $9 at $0.15/sheet. i think it's $0.15 at the great law library in the building, and also at the public library across the street.

i'm going to do this in full size to start, and see how much it actually costs. if i can get it under $30, total, i'll just eat it. but, i am going to mail a copy to the windsor police by snail mail, in addition to sending them a copy by email, and i will have to print that from windsor, so maybe i can cut the page length down when i get to that point.

so, the application record is really more frustrating due to the need to convert all of these pdf documents to word 2003 format, which is just being done by inserting dozens of images.

like, i'm spending time typesetting. really. that's the work required for this.

and, it's kind of dumb in terms of requirements because the only reason i'm doing this is to create a table of contents, and number the pages.

i'm really just taking the file i gave them last week, along with the initial report, the review and some scattered emails. i could have just sent it in separate documents. but i have to number everything, which is rather daft.

*shrug*.

so, i'm almost done the first part....

i don't really have to do the third part and the fourth part is just filing, so, as expected, it's just a few hours. i'm sure i'll be done by the morning.

but, i'm out of soy milk so i need to talk a walk while it's nice.

it's currently looking like it'll be about 60 pages, but can i shrink that? i'll try.

so, that was another sleepy morning, and what can i do besides shrug it off and drink more coffee and try to stay awake longer?

i spent the evening clearing out shows for the first half of the month, which is relevant as i determine whether to go back to toronto mid-month or not.

i wanted to get most of the writing done overnight. i guess i'll have to spend the day doing it, instead.
