This is so weird.
I just wrote what I considered a pretty funny post about integrity being thin on the ground around here and not owning property on the moral high ground...then some demony thing took hold of my curser and ate the whole post!
::considers stumbling over to Tech to ask WTF? slinks off to bed instead. But, I'm tellin' ya. You shoulda been there!::
Liltyyyyyyyyy!! I missed you all day.
I'm looking forward to hearing that Daniel did well on his interview this morning.
I did well on my interview this morning. Robert Half, Inc, will be arranging an interview with the actual client, possibly next week.
Very very tired right now, as I got up extra early, drove 50 miles, then interviewed, drove 50 miles and then went to work for 8-1/2 hours, then went to the grocery store.
Airing out the knee. May have had too much dressing, as there are too many dead white corpuscles for something that should have just scabbed over by now.
More later. Sleep now.
Good to hear Daniel. Uck, I am all too familiar with that kind of scrape. Striking the right balance of airing out and slathering with antibiotic goop is tricky.
Good on you for the good interview, Daniel. I hope something comes of it.
askye, that comforter set is just gorgeous! I'm so excited for you.
Timelies all! I had a really difficult time getting out of bed this morning, but the migraine is really toned down, so that is nice. I've got a busy day today.
Ooooo...my coffee pot is beeping. Coffee done. Coffee good. Must get off couch and get coffee.
I just saw Emo Philips. If you have a chance to see him, do it. He's hilarious.
Lord yes. I've hurt things laughing at his routines.
Announcement: After resolving to find a new tag in 2005, Laura has finally done so.
Analysis: *fireworks*
Hee, yes I might keep this a while despite the many fun choices presented by the OC last night.

Glad to hear it! Hope the next step goes as well.
Lovely comforter, askye.
I think all my not-quite-getting-enough-sleep during the week accumulates to make Friday morning particularly gronkful. That or the prospect of dinner at my MiL's with a young couple some friend of hers thinks we should meet is making me want to hide under the covers. Perhaps a combination of the two.
I've begun studying the Library of Congress Classification system. I'm on a new team that's helping flea's Looniversity convert from what they were using to LC. What a cobbled-together piece of bleep. It's based on list of 18 subjects that a bunch of American Victorian librarians figured were important (see American-centric and dismissive of most of the rest of the world, with two major divisions for Miliary and Naval Sciences), and addendas and clarifications have been jury-rigged onto the thing for over a hundred years.
The call numbers are created based on what the individual cataloger thinks are the major subjects of the book, which means that with a multi-subject book it's possible for there to be two perfectly true and applicable call numbers. Also, they revise the system on a regular basis as various jury-rigging measures collapse, so a call number that was applicable before is quite likely to be inapplicable after. Which results in major rearrangements of libraries that are trying to keep up.
I really need to stop being impressed by the workings of large institutions. When you see the little man behind the curtain, it's always depressing.
