Sufficient Unto the Day are the Adventures Thereof
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 09:03 amSo, Steve dragged me over to Facebook. I haven't had a chance to study on how it works, exactly, but I'll get there. Eventually. In the meantime, and assuming Facebook allows such things, I'm here. If that link doesn't work, they're promising unique usernames, starting Saturday. Watch this space for more info.
The marked-up page proofs for Fledgling are sitting here, enveloped, on the edge of my desk, waiting to be walked down to the campus FedEx box. Alas, my knee is not my friend today, and the prospect of walking -- not down the hill so much, but back up the hill -- is not filling me with joy. Perhaps I'll just be lazy and drive it to the in-town pick-up when I get off work.
Relative to the above, I have been to the doctor. The doctor is going to put me in touch with an orthopedic doctor. And we shall see.
The day-job has been rife with Small Irritations. The Finance Office is trying to invoke changes in internal procedures, which are necessary to bring the college into compliance with various IRS regulations. The professors pick their teeth at the IRS regs and find the concerns of the Finance Office beneath their notice. This is pretty much business at usual, but as the person who is in the middle of the two camps and responsible for seeing that the proper logs are kept, I'll just say that it's getting a little...warm. It would help if the Finance Office actually said what it meant in its memos to faculty, rather than trying to be non-confrontational. They don't seem to realize that they're dealing with people who read for their living and for whom sub-text is a way of life. Simple declarative sentences, Finance Office, for the win. Bullet points -- even better.
Steve and I talked this morning over breakfast about the possibility of serializing a story over the summer. *wonders if posting chapters to an LJ account is a good idea*.
Now that the page proofs are out of the way, I'm clear to start reading and revising Mouse and Dragon. I do believe that the UnderMind found a way out of a timing problem for me while I was thinking about other things. Much love, UnderMind.
This afternoon, after work, I'm going to meet Steve at Fortin's Furniture and we're going to peruse the tent sale. We need a mattress (oh, boy do we need a mattress) -- anybody have advice? We have a platform bed, and are thinking memory foam, but basically I'm uninformed. Also on the wish list is a bookshelf and a bureau-thingy for my office. Must. Have. Drawers.
After Shopping, we're due to be at a meeting of the new independent market opening in town, and after that, we may just drop by the Bread Box and spend the gift card I received forSecretaries Administrative Professionals Day.
And then tomorrow! Is the staff picnic at the day-job.
The fun, it never stops.
