Miscellaneous
Aug. 14th, 2008 07:18 pmFor the second day in a row, I have left my reading glasses on my desk at work. Maybe I need to put a reminder into my calender take them home at the end of the day. I'm fine at home without them, usually, but sometimes there is stuff with small text for which it would be easier to have them - it's rare I can be bothered adjusting text size on the monitor.
My fuzzy Wisper threads arrived for me at work today. The seller forgot to put my name on them - I'm sure I clearly said
nishatalitha c/- S_G... Nonetheless, they found their way to me. They really are fuzzy (mohair) and look very neat, but I doubt I'll be able to use them until I'm up to the beading on the whole thing - I'm scared they'll flatten.
Haven't been online since early Tuesday night, was hardly on on Monday and as a result have a pile of things to read: there is a ficathon at
bujold_fic and the standard is very high; Bujold's GOH speech from Devention last weekend is up at her Myspace blog; there is commentry on the speech at Smart Bitches Trashy Books; there is commentry on Shards of Honour at Joseph Mallozzi's blog; and
sartorias has linked to a livejournal article on comfort reading. Plus, of course, actual books. And then there are dishes to do, which need to be done before there can be cooking.
Had a meeting today that usually goes from 4.30 - 5.30pm. Of course, seeing as we started at 4.00pm, we still finished about 5.30pm. And then the bus was late and the bus driver wouldn't open the front door for me - told me to get off through the open back door as he "was in a hurry". I can't say I used my best possible speed to hop off the bus after that.
The could has put up more fencing around the spot where the slip was. Looks much more secure and stable from what I could see in the dark, but I have to wonder if our wheeli bin will now fit down the path, the path being so much narrower. I rather doubt it.
