Because books.

I have a problem being organized if I can't see things. I used to keep manuscripts in rows based on pub dates and stages of production, and I had schedules posted up over my desk. Here, we don't have desks, and not even assigned seats, so everything comes home at the end of the day and I hate it. All of my work aside from a printed style manual reference is on the computer, and it's really hard for me to keep track. Out of sight is really out of mind for me.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

No it is an external one.

Even better!! Go you!!!

It took many, many years, but I'm finally working mostly paperless. My computer files could probably only be understood by me...but that is my secret. I do have a pile of paper on my desk at work that I'm not allowed to toss due to pending legal action on that project. It is stupid cause they aren't originals or anything.

hip deep in pie

Go msbelle.

I am applying for a job that's a year term in London. It's an archives job at a theatre, so I would be a good fit. (???) Just the thought of having to make my house presentable to rent out for a year gives me the wiggins.

Sue, that would be so cool!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay for the interview, msbelle!

I need to get to work on my grading. Fie! I just want to drink coffee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that sounds cool, Sue! A friend of mine is getting ready to rent her house furnished for a year, and was saying it's a good thing she has too much room in the house anyway, because she can put her personal stuff in one of the bedrooms and just lock it. Who has too much space?? People who live in Lancaster, PA, apparently.

I sent my old coworker my resume a week ago for a job at her current work, and haven't heard anything back. Should I check in with her? Or just let it go? The job would be her boss, as far as I can tell, for what that's worth.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, coffee. I am on day four of can't eat from menstrual unpleasantness, so the SO is out on a soup run for me, but coffee still sounds good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Go, msbelle!

That's a very exciting prospect, Sue!

I've applied for two positions with the company I'm temping for, and I think I'm going to apply for an open finance position at the refinery my dad used to work for, because maybe they'll recognize my last name and that will give me an edge...

I cleverly packed myself a thermos full of chicken broth to sip on today (I've been fighting a sore throat all week) and it is so delicious.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I am applying for a job that's a year term in London. It's an archives job at a theatre, so I would be a good fit.

I want that for you so much!

Fingers crossed on the interview, msbelle.
