I got this stamp from amazon for 10 bucks
500 for $10.79

Piggybacking off this, just stamp the shit out of it with this and they will eventually just toss it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D4P5PQG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Fo7rDb6MCHR7Z
Get a really nice binder for your stage bible. Pay a little more. You'll be happy when halfway through tech the rings aren't completely mis-alligned and have pages falling out.
Get actual plastic tab dividers for the scenes and such, rather than post-its.
I also highly recommend those little round hole reinforcement stickers that you put on all the page holes. Yes, you will hate your life applying them to all three holes on every page, but you will thank yourself when you don't accidentally tear out the page while flipping angrily through the script after your actor just missed two pages of dialog. A slightly cheaper option is to use scotch tape as shown here.
Also, a small reading light that can clip onto the back of the binder. That way you don't have to fumble with a flashlight backstage. Rechargables are better so you don't have to worry about finding batteries.
Get a first aid kit. You may think this isn't your job, but in reality it will be. Standard kit should be fine. I'd highly recommend adding a few heat packs and ace bandages. Being a dance-heavy show, you want to be prepared for rolled ankles. Also tampons. Great for unexpected emergencies, as well as the best possible thing for bloody noses caused by a stray elbow.
Be reasonable, but be strict. Make your actors fear you. /s
But for real, make sure they know just how much shit they're in if the fuck around with the prop table. Deal with attendance issues individually, not in front of the group. Make it clear that cast drama/romance issues do not belong onstage, backstage, or really anywhere in proximity to the stage.
I'd highly recommend setting up a private cast/crew FB group and have a cast only, crew only, and combined group chat for quick communication. Do not ever rely on the assumption that anyone got your email. It's frustrating, I know, but your life will be easier if you make that assumption.
Finally, make yourself available as a go-between between for cast/crew members to other cast/crew members. Actors can be afraid to directly confront a director or other actor to discuss important issues. Crew can not want to directly order an actor around or tell a director why what they want isn't logical.
You are the facilitator. You make the whole thing happen. You are the one that actually gets the performance on the stage. You don't get a curtain call, but that's okay. Have fun. Break a leg.

It works great for small things for which I have multiple different values, like resistors and capacitors.
Here's are the actual bits I used if you want to duplicate:

This is what I ordered, though after I received it I noticed there are other versions that support changing the messages over Bluetooth. Probably not worth it for me to order another one but I'd recommending trying one of those. These also apparently aren't capable of charging and displaying the messages at the same time so will have to remove to charge every now and then.

My ink stamper with name and address came in on Friday. It made filling out MOs much quicker. Stamp, sign, done. Promptly went to my CU to deposit 17 of them. Anything to streamline the process, right?
EDIT: Amazon link if anyone wants it. It's good for WU MO's, not sure about MoneyGram. Font is def small.

Make your own. Custom stamps are cheap.
This is a great idea!
To make it even easier:
1 inch Felt Pads

1 inch wooden disks
No cutting required.
I ordered these stickers and these chits
I do the same thing with wood tokens.

No need to apologize for "noob" questions. Every question sounds noobish to someone :)
I'm a huge fan of the Dymo 450 Turbo. It's pretty standard.
As for labels, I use HouseLabels labels. They're much more affordable. I used to use the 30252 labels (1 1/8" x 3 1/2"). However, I just switched to 30334 (2 1/4" x 1 1/4") and I love the size, plus it prints even faster (being horizontal instead of vertical. And it is a better size for the cosmetics. You also get 3,000 labels per roll, compared with 350. Much less frequent switching.
30252 on Amazon
30334 on Amazon
As for what goes on the labels, the best advice I can give is to review Amazon's labeling guidelines.
Guide to labeling your products.
Guide to the labels themselves
Let me know if any of that didn't make sense - I'd be happy to expand on it.
What do you do with your football tickets?
Last few years I've been keeping them in this. It's almost perfect- small sleeve for the ticket to go into, and a few lines beside it where I can write down the score and goalscorers. Only downside is the design on the front, can't find anything similar for sports.
What does everyone else do? Keep them somewhere to collect, just chuck them when you're done?
Amazon lol. This is the kind of thing if you buy at a brick and mortar in NYC, you'll pay 4x the price.
Edit: I even found it for you
If you’re ok with 1” rounds, how about 1000 for $9? There are other similar options on Amazon. Take a look.

Here's the link someone else posted last time this was posted:

I got one and then found out you need some custom software, which they provide in a CD. Don't even have one in the house or work. rip
no I use Avery Multi-use Labels because it keeps the bag sealed but it also make it a lot easier to reopen
http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Removable-Print-Labels-Inches/dp/B00007M5GN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457814455&sr=8-1&keywords=avery+multi+use+labels
plus they are cheap
Not sure how little space you have, but when we built our 2-rack server room a few years back, I got this Tool cabinet/Workbench from HomeDepot. Threw an anti-static mat on top and I love it.
If I ever need to unrack something to work on it, I roll the work bench over, unrack and throw it on the bench. All my tools and such are there, the wheels get locked to prevent accidental rolling.
Stuff it in a corner when not in use. Drawers are loaded with patch cables of assorted colors and lengths, fiber patch, power cords, rolls of velcro, zip ties (shush!), cage nuts and various screws in a multi-compartment organizer with labels(!), SFP's, rack wings, etc...couple packs of wire markers
My favorite screwdriver along with a Klein Stubby multi-bit for the hard to reach spots.
That's why I always carry around one of these. If I see someone arguing in favor of a theory not backed with evidence, I downvote it and slap on another sticker to my shirt.
I just got a generic customizable stamp set. Available on amazon for around 10 USD. For example:
USA link, Europe link
I also added these links to the stickied post :)
I would use something like this, available in different sizes.
As the guy who's responsible for the access control system on campus I can tell you that there are several reasons to require you to swipe in. One is to confirm that you are allowed to park there. Think intruder or terminated employee detection. Body count in case of fire, shooter or other emergency is another. We ask that the people monitoring the entrances, including parking, do a visual check on anyone entering. Zooming by the arm doesn't really allow them to do that.
I bought a retractable keyholder for my badge. That one extends 36 inches so I can pull it from my belt while still on the bike. Best $15 I ever spent.
I love the stamps as-is! But just wanted to share that you can get stamp kits with holders to align the letters.
Your post reminded me I got one from a thrift store a while ago, going to try and dig it out now...
Looks like Amazon even has self-inking ones, kind of cool.
LED Nametag
Looks like they do!
This is a poor indicator of price, but let's take this single roll of stickers as a guideline. $20 for 500 stickers, or 4 cents per sticker. And it's probably significantly cheaper than that, since governments likely purchase these in bulk.
Here is a link for the sticker sheets. They are 8.5 x11” and can probably go into most printers.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WVYGWMD/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_B4r3BbR782EQ0
I just use half-sheet labels in a standard printer. Avery 5126 labels are the most common to use, but I found a cheaper version that works great (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0069RY9BY/ or just search for "Avery 5126"). I just tear the sheet in half, print my label, and then just trim close to the lines to make them fit perfectly. I'd love to hear a better solution for printing labels, if anyone has one.
Do any of them come with a prepaid postage envelope? If so, I've read people have success with loading those envelopes with extremely heavy items (or even taping it to a box with a brick in it) and mailing it back to them with a note to remove them from the mailing list. That would work for the company mail. For mail from individuals (e.g. the inmate), could try getting a "Return To Sender" stamp and dropping it in the mail.
This is my new ethernet networking hub in the new house. I had two Cat6 and one RG-6 pulled to every drop and have 14 drops throughout the house. All of the ethernet drops (red and yellow in the top right of the picture) run to this cabinet and the RG-6 go to a panel to the lower right of this with the cable modem and firewall (pfSense). The house is a two story with a walk out basement and this cabinet is in a storage room next the to the stairs in the finished basement.

Accessories:
Equipment not shown:
The D-Link is currently for the PoE VoIP phones and PBX. The Cisco switch is for everything else in the house for now. There is a Drobo camping on the top of the cabinet which will be decommissioned eventually and content moved to a FreeNAS server. Current power draw from everything here including Drobo is 85W.

edit: forgot to mention that the fiber line runs to the den where the lab will be setup. Currently the other end is another Cisco SG500-28 (the model without the fans, so quiet). Future upgrade is a 10G connection.
Here you go, sis. Be a crafty queen!
I like to put these on each end of the wire.

Not this brand but all I could find quickly.
You are supposed to mark mail not for anyone in your household as, "Return to sender, not at this address."
It sounds like maybe you're getting a lot of mail, so its worth considering buying a stamp.
You can also place a note on the inside of your mailbox which says, "ONLY ACCEPTING MAIL FOR: [names of current residents]"
Hi! I ordered these and they work like a charm to decent products. I don’t like to sacrifice my routine when I travel, and I also do carry on only. This works perfectly!

Hope this helps!
Honestly, I'd just try and make your own. The basic version of the Silhouette software is free to download, and there are tutorials on Youtube for how to make your own checkboxes.
Buy some sticker paper from Amazon and then you can print them yourself. You can shop around and read some reviews, but here is a pack of 100 glossy sheets for $10.
It'll be somewhat of an investment up front, but that works out to only 10 cents per sheet. Even if you go to FedEx like I do and pay 65 cents per page for printing, that's still only 75 cents for a full 8.5 by 11 sheet. Most Etsy sheets I've seen are like half that size and 5 times as expensive.
Avery 5418
These are the ones I used. Just big enough for the date, small enough to fit on the cello of a lancero. 0.5" by 0.75"
> Free things cause of the sticker are kind of illegal.
I suppose one could argue that they are rewarding you for having a sticker, not for voting. No one says it has to be a sticker from a voting place, it just has to say you voted. It could also be a sticker showing you voted in 1972...
That's a bit too specific for a premade date stamp, but maybe something like this would work for you!
lol I was just about to say the same thing. It's been a while since a picture has given me anxiety just looking at it. OCD is a terrible thing!
Also, while we are talking about protective cases, I got some clear dot stickers to hold mine closed on one end. They work wonders!
Just as an example, these are the ones I use when I need removable labels. I'm not sure what kind of labels you use but there are removable ones out there.

You can let him know that he need to change his address with those companies. Write "Return to Sender. Not at this address." on the envelopes and dump them in the nearest outgoing mailbox. If it is a lot of mail, you might want to invest $10 in one of those "Return to Sender" stamps to simplify the process.
Eeeeep I need these tab dividers!
They will be so so so useful on a desert island.

When I was in med-surg I would choose major cardiac meds (epi/ami/vaso/dope/atropine/etc) and some pulmonary meds and compile info on them to keep on index cards in my pocket, that way I wasn't lugging around the whole thing!
Good Luck!
I've been using these from Best Print on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0069RY9BY/
They feed nicely through my laser printer, and the stickiness of the labels is better than others I've used.
And here are labels for you!
I can't think of anything designed to go with a closed door hinge. However, if you have a smooth metal door, can you use a portable handicap suction mounted handgrip stuck to the door? Just an idea to consider.
The only other thing I can think of is to see if they'll allow the installation of a support grip just outside the door that's short like this as long as you bought it and agreed to pay for the install, (as well as the removal when you leave - I think that's required when the modification is reversible), unless you get a waiver in writing, of course, before moving.
The only other thought I have is to use a retractible leash for your keys that you can attach to your clothing, or bag, like this so that your keys are not attached to your cane for the purpose of getting indoors. I'd say, use the key leash, hook to your belt or bag strap, and do it that way.
I have a DYMO 450 turbo also and I mainly use 30334 size labels. Both Amazon and Inventory Lab will print this size.
***
>I've seen a lot of people basically taking snapshots on every label from a 30sheet which seems kind of wonky.
If you want to use the Dymo with Amazon directly you need to use Amazon's
Scan & Label
page. Inventory > Manage FBA Shipments, then near the top of the page look forScan & Label
It prints out labels for one SKU at a time.
Since Chrome changed, it's a little more difficult but you pick the product you need a label for by scanning it or entering your SKU. Then you can either print it or save it. If you print, the chrome print window opens and you need to play with settings to make sure the label fits.
print using system dialog
You only need to do this for the first label.
Inventory Lab is a lot easier. You run the printer setup under account settings to choose your label size. Then you choose if you want the label to print automatically when you list an item, or only when you click the print button.
Keep in mind, you are suppose to use removable labels when applying directly to the products. That said, Amazon doesn't follow their own rule here and I've learned that the longer removable labels are on, the less removable they are.
I've used a few label brands.
***
As far as printers: I use the Dymo 450 turbo and brother laser https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LZS5EEI/
I use the laser printer for shipping labels mostly but sometimes for product labels if I'm sending like 80 of the same thing.
I spent a lot of time when I started, trying to decide what printer to get. I started with the laser because: 1. I can use it as a regular printer for non-fba stuff, 2. It will print both fnsku and shipping labels, 3. It is really inexpensive.
I added the DYmo later because: 1. I hated all the wasted labels if I wasn't printing a full sheet, 2. I do RA and matching labels from a sheet with 30+ different products is time-consuming, 3. I often need 1 or 2 labels and it was difficult to do on the laser.
I haven't looked in awhile but my dream printer would be a thermal transfer printer that is large enough to print shipping labels as well as fnsku. I just can't justify spending $500 on it.
I didn't want to use his last name until after the wedding - it would make it look like we're already married. So our invitations say both of our first and last names. But I did order a self-inking stamp with just our first names for our save-the-dates. This one from Amazon is cheaper than the Vistaprint ones, and free shipping! If I want to order another with our last name after we're married for thank-yous and such, it's only $8, but really just our first names will always work. For our formal invitations our return address will be printed on the envelope and we also have our separate first and last names.
I use these knock offs:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBAPJ30?refRID=W4SDKAP2NV9513AHKTYR&ref_=pd_cart_rp_1_2
For boxes < 1 pound, definitely ship first class. You can use PayPal for shipping labels - http://www.paypal.com/shipnow is a easier user interface if you're just shipping one package, but check out http://www.paypal.com/shipping for PayPal's multi-order shipping (it's less straightforward to use, but meant for lots of shipments). If you don't have them already, I'd highly recommend getting some sticker labels to print on due to the quantities you're sending out - I picked up these on Amazon awhile ago, but there are lots of different sellers.
I don't see a problem with the mylar bags. When I've shipped yarn in mylar bags, I've put it inside of a ziploc for extra insurance, but I've received lots of yarn and fiber in mylar bags and have never had an issue with them being torn up. If you're sending anything internationally, you might want to beef up the packaging a bit (double bag?).
I bought a 100 pack of sticker paper that are the size of regular paper sheets off amazon for $12. I printed on them 5 star reviews help deliver food to your family and ours with IC logo and a picture of 5 stars. It looks nice. I fit 6 on a sheet and slap one on the outside of the bag with the delicate items in it.
I called IC and asked if it was ok to do and the lady said I don't see why not.
2 weeks later all of a sudden the in store oppers at wegman's have new stickers and they have to put them om 1 bag per order that are very simliar to mine.
I definitely noticed a little difference and get more ratings. 600 stickers for $12, well worth it.
People sell preprinted stickers on etsy too, but my way was cheaper and my stickers are bigger and more noticeable.
In case anyone wants the sticker paper....

Do you have some ticket stubs lying around from the concerts you've been to? Maybe make them into a collage, or buy him a ticket stub diary (like this one: http://amzn.to/1NEQ0WF) to preserve them.

You can use Brady tags on your wires behind devices. Also label them at the panel. Here is what a book of them looks like. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003X26Y4I/ref=sr_sp-btf_title_1_4?qid=1394579345&amp;sr=8-4

honestly, I did a one-time thing with printer paper, but I'm going to transfer the stencil to posterboard so I can get some more use out of it. EDIT: I've heard that these are super good for multiple use stencils, but I've never used them.

Personally I like to get these small labels and write my info in small sharpie. Then I will cover them with transparent scotch tape. This way the label never comes off, but also it isn't hanging off the cable or anything like those zip tie ones.
Put some Tape Dots and some box cutters on your order, haha.
It has been a while since I read the return policy, but last time I checked stuff had to be "unused, resellable condition" to process a return.
It's your call as to whether having a look-see from your living room is fair use. Sending items back "just because" incurs a small surcharge so you don't ding the seller's account. It's cheaper than the fuel you'd use to drive to Cabelas.
This mug came to mind

I love this lunchbox
I've had my house for nearly 8 years and still get mail for folks who've not lived there in 20 years. I even recently got a sympathy card on the occasion of the death of the daughter of someone who lived there 15+ years ago. It'll never end. There's no way to completely avoid getting mail not meant for you unless you are the first person to live at an address and curse the people who live there after you!
What's worked reasonably well for me is this "RETURN TO SENDER / NO LONGER AT THIS ADDRESS" stamp. Stamp it a few times on each side of the envelope and drop it off at a mailbox. I've gotten a few back even with the stampings, so I tend to also write the date I received it each time I receive it on the back of the envelope. If I receive a piece of mail more than three times, I'll shred it unopened if it was "presorted standard" or take it to the post office and deal with a human. Always be nice, because it's not the clerk's fault!
I've had some success with using plastic dividers like this glued down. Can't iron them but can be reused.
Happy early birthday!!

Please don't. It fades, rubs off, and is un-intelligible. You don't need to buy a $1000 labeling kit, but at least get something like this, this, or even this. Heck, almost anything would be better.
Invest in a good stethoscope from the beginning. I have a Littman 2 and it's awesome. Don't waste your money or time on a cheap one. You can also get a lab value badge clips or one of these handy clip boards.

have you heard of retracted keychain leash?
https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Retractable-Chain-Stainless-Cable/dp/B00416DLOQ
get your PSVR box behind TV, then put 2 of such leashes on the ceiling, when you play - retract and put cable in anchors, it will get enough suspension, you need no cable on your shoulder.Do some design.
