The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I got to do research at the Bodleian and I swear, I got inappropriate feelings in my ladyparts.

Well, I got 5/6 of the way through my swim before it got apocalyptic outside. That's something.

I do appreciate that paper books don't have to be charged. But it's easier to change your mind about a kindle book. Yes, I could go in on the Buffista compound...the local cops would probably quickly wish I had another hobby, though.(The ones here sometimes do.)

I like paper and ebooks. I love -- although it is SO DANGEROUS -- that I can try a book, especially in a series, and if I like it, I can finish it at 11 pm, and load the next one right up.
My physical library has dwindled since I take books back to trade, and frankly, have had to sell quite a few to buy food and other non-essentials. I WISH I could take some ebooks in for trade.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Got some details about why my coworker quit, and OMG, what a clusterfuck.

Dana,
so, was the clusterfuck on the org or the coworker or some of both?

Both. The manager is still insane, but the coworker did herself no favors. The word "investigation" was used.

Yipes, Dana.

Heh. I mean, I get that; I love the feel of books, and there's something beautiful and awe-inspiring about really old books and manuscripts that have survived for so long. But I don't feel the need to keep or collect them, like I do with (some) contemporary books.
