Sounds like vw is a true Literary Buffista with that stash of books to travel with. Well done!
Happy, Happy Birthday Fay!

Susan, I'm glad you're liking the new job better than the last one. I'm sure you'll pick up on what you need to know quickly. And, if I haven't said it yet, It's nice to see you back here.

ah ... I'm way, way behind in Natter ... and Bitches seemed more appropriate for kilted fun.
Vortex, so you haven't been able to move into your condo yet? I saw the note and hoped you had, but then saw it was only the students. bah!

Susan, I'm glad you're liking the new job better than the last one. I'm sure you'll pick up on what you need to know quickly. And, if I haven't said it yet, It's nice to see you back here.
Thanks! And I know this is the tough point in a new job. I've been here almost 3 months, long enough to get the basic routine and to feel like I should know everything. But we're on an annual cycle, for one thing. And there are all sorts of little things that just weren't part of my training or the info J. left for me. The latest was that I'm supposed to invite a group of people peripherally affiliated with us to the summer end-of-unit party this week, and I hadn't had the slightest idea I should do so.

If no one tells you, and you don't even have enough information to ask, than it is not your fault. You're way too hard on yourself.

I'll throw in my two cents too, and say it's good to see your pixels again regularly, Susan.

Yeah, one of my habits. But I'm not so much angry at myself as frustrated at having to play frantic catch-up every time one of these things I didn't know about jumps out at me. I like to do my day job at a stately, measured pace, so I can save the frantic bursts of energy for my writing! Anyway, I know they like me and think I'm an asset to the department, so that's a plus.

Thanks, Sean!
