If for some reason my hands get wet, I dry them on my hair...
I did see the lovely house. And affordable!
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I keep a towel very close, since the hair thing is impossible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't need a rule, it just happens. No matter how much I concentrate on keeping my hands and the book dry I cannot do it. Even keeping a towel within reach I can't do better than getting my hands damp rather than wet but still too watery to be turning pages.

Hee! I've done the hair thing too. But it's not really an issue unless you drop it. (Not recommended.)

Because books.
I read in the tub, but I keep a hand towel next to the tub, and I'm just very careful. Haven't tried it with the Kindle yet, though.

The thing about Sodus is that it's super cute, but it really is in the middle of nowhere, sadly.

It is near a lake. And a short drive to Rochester. Or my idea of short (less than an hour).

At least one hand is always on the book (and in this configuration more likely to be two) so I'm just not getting wet often.
I mean, I can't see how I could get hands wet without already having gotten the book wet, and once I'm holding the book that's all the reminder I need--if it gets wet it's because I fumbled.

My idea of a short drive is ... not an hour. But the lake is gorgeous. I spent a day there once, a few years ago.

I grew up having to drive 45 minutes to the nearest movie theatre, and sometimes 30 minutes within the same school district to get to a friend's house, so no big deal to me. I actually think that might be why I am so patient with my busride, which turns a 20 minute drive into at least an hour and a half.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
HR-knowledgeable folks: Do I inform my boss or HR first about my new job? I could give the heads up to HR this afternoon and tell my boss on Monday morning.
Sorry to be so dumb about this. Every time I've left previous jobs, it's been with the full knowledge of my current employer because of a layoff or program termination.
