In which the day is long and the night, so short

Today, electronics large and small rose up against me. Yes, I turned tail and ran. Also? I Really Did Know What I was doing when I asked for an "extra" computer to hook the scanner up with. No, really -- justasecretary or not; I did know. And the whole "But! we would have to maintain it!" issue? So completely bogus.

Tomorrow is Friday. With luck and a tailwind, I'll get through the week alive -- and so will the people I work with.

Saturday and Sunday -- blocked out to write "Hidden Resources". I should also pay bills...maybe tomorrow evening.

Don't forget the auction for the paper relevant to the story "Candlelight" -- aka the hardest three hundred bucks two writers ever wrested from a well-meaning publisher. Take a look here.

The trade books manager at the Colby bookstore sent me a copy of the slide they made to advertise the Liaden books (below), which is now in rotation on the screen behind the checkout counter. Pretty cool, huh?

Re: You don't need another PC - just a more expensive scanner

If it's a USB scanner, just ask ITS to put the scanning software on other computers in the department (specifically those likely to need something scanned) then move the scanner to the computer of the person who wants to scan something. They may hear this suggestion, go g'ah and then decide an "extra" computer would be easier. :-)
