Why it takes Rolanni so long to make a poster

[rolanni]

Today was a two-poster day. One a b&w for a candidate talk; the other a four-color wonder for a Named Annual Lecture.

Which meant that, today, I got to research the second Sino-Japanese War and The Holocaust. I'm really pretty happy with The Holocaust poster (inasmuch as one can be "happy" with the artsy bits while wishing that more scholarly talks were on...less fraught topics -- is there no pleasant history?) Also, I got to unjam the photocopier about a billion times (Dear Admin: less cheesy paper would jam less often. I'm just sayin'. Sincerely, the Crank at the top of the Library), and order a heavy-duty stapler. This after having come in early so that I could run the Highly Confidential Print Job on the community printer before anybody got in -- which was not all bad. Any excuse is a good enough excuse for a Tim Horton's breakfast, though I totally failed to win a Toyota Venze or ten thousand clams, or even a years' worth of coffee. Some days, the luck is looking elsewhere.

The afternoon is almost over.

This? Is a good thing.

I having the kind of day where I thought maybe the prize was ten thousand actual clams. It's not, right? Because what the hell would you do with ten thousand actual clams?

I would say that I have eight years of coffee in the storage room here at work, but in fact it's really more like two week's worth.

I am so glad this afternoon is almost over.

Make lots of chowder?

I mean...I suppose so. I don't eat clams, but I suppose you could have a frelling huge clam bake.
