Tuesday! Tastes like Monday

It was snowing this morning when I left for work. Once out of our little gore, the roads were mostly clear -- even in downtown Waterville! The grounds crew up at the college had done yeoman's work, making all community roads and the most-traveled of the paths passable. Go, Physical Plant Department! I hope y'all get double time this week.

The scanner arrived at the end of the day and I hooked it up to Mac via the world's oldest USB hub. May have to reconfigure tomorrow, in order to keep as much of my desk space as possible under my control. (Naturally, the department's scanner gets to live on my desk -- mind you, it makes sense for it to live on my desk, it's just that having it there makes me more crowded that I like. But! We can solve this. I'm pretty sure.)

Other than that, it was kind of a boring old day at work. Things were so quiet in the middle of the afternoon (between Lunch and Scanner, as it were) that I had time to go over yesterday's chapter and fill in the Stuff I forgot in the white heat of typing.

I'm still a chapter or two ahead of myself on Mouse and Dragon, though the OhmighodIhaveanIDEA division of the back-brain pyrotechnic display seems to have cooled... somewhat. Which is OK. There's a chunk coming where I only have the haziest idea of what happens, so I can use all the speed I can get on this side of that gap.

Who was it that said a writer's life is one of unending glamor? And were they serious?

Last job. Cubical walls were made out of 2 x 4 and plywood. My desk looked like the desk my teacher had 20 years ago and since I am above average height they put it up on wood blocks for me. Looked like something you would expect in a little 1 man garage – not an office. I did get a brand new top of the line laptop with a flat screen monitor. I thought that was pretty cool, until I was taking off for vacation and they asked “you’re taking your laptop, right?”

But anyway, glamour – you have to dress up for glamour. You are better off without it.
