rolanniToday, 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?

Date: 2009-10-02 08:18 pm (UTC)I mentioned your books (and Maine residency) to Susan Porter at Maine Coast Book Shop in Damariscotta when I visited there a couple of weeks ago. After I gave the 'space opera meets Georgette Heyer' sales pitch she offered me a job, so I guess she got it.
Second copy of Fledgling arrived today, to replace the one that sold!
