Burrell I am doing everything in my power to keep my web surfing away from the shopping variey. I'll tell you what. I need to NOT forget my book. I may need to just have an extra emergency work book in my desk.

I "read" over 50 pages of suri's burn book today, people.

OTOH, my reading in general is way up since I started this job. 3 books since May 15.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse, I don't know which of your blogs this belongs on, but: ZQ 4 lyfe.

Msbelle, if you start reading eBooks, they can be wherever you have a browser--at least, I'm assuming Amazon will let you, since BN does, and they never win.

Notice I didn't say e-Reader. Just ebooks.

but then I have to buy them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There are a ton of free ebooks -- classics, I guess, but also Lawrence Block makes a short story free pretty often, and I'm sure he's not the only one.

ZQ!!!!! I think I need to save that for me.

BN.com has free ebooks, but there are many, often better, places to go for those--I'm just trawling for art instruction books right now, and they have some out of copyright, kinda hinkily scanned, but worth the price of admission candidates.

As far as I'm concerned sour cream doesn't go with much of anything except spinach dip.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm nervous and excited: boss lady got offered a job somewhere else. They specifically requested her and she's one of the finalists, and she said that if she gets it, she'll try to stick around until August so we have time to do our own search. She has done so so much good for the organisation, but, man, it would also be a relief.

Today she was barely at work, yet I'm sure I'll still have pissed her off. We had planned to do a deer drive, but our rather dumb intern didn't remember to wear long pants or a long sleeved shirt to trek through the thorny, poison-ivy riddled woods. She gave several strong suggestions for what to do instead. I did not a one of them. What we did was totally on the general and immediate to-do list, though. I can't help myself. (It was also something she had suggested to do after the deer drive, so it's not like she didn't want it attended to).

I wish I had the aptitude for the director position, but I am sadly just too flaky for that. The amount of juggling and coordinating one has to do (that she does very well) is so beyond my abilities. Money would be good.

Hmm . . . maybe I could buy her house from her . . . (I came to the realization that I can't afford to own a home with what I make now).
