Heh.

Yikes, Brenda! I'm glad he's okay.

So right as I was packing up to leave work yesterday I was called upstairs again and was offered the job. Effective Monday I'll have a new title and salary for what I've been doing since November. Woo! That also means I really need to clean out my late boss' desk and get going on hiring an assistant.

I bought a used book online, it was really cheap and a book Everyone was talking about last year, but it reeks of patchouli. Can I ever get it out?

Yay! They sure made you work for it.

All right, aurelia! About time, but congratulations all the same!

erika, I have a sneaking suspicion that patchouli is eternal.

Yay, aurelia! Finally!

erika, I have seen guides to getting mildew scent out of water-damaged books, maybe those techniques would apply? I don't remember what they were, unfortunately, as it wasn't something I actually needed to know.

Congratulations, aurelia!

Did anyone else go to a "stinking hippies" place? just me? Not that I'm anti-patchouli. I did go to Berkeley after all. But perhaps for that very reason, I do relish the opportunity to say Stinking Hippies!

Thanks!

erika, my first thought is sprinkling it with baking soda and/or sticking it in the freezer.

Good news, aurelia!

Brava, aurelia! It's about time!

I love my Dad: he paid for all my new glasses (I had new lenses put in my backup frames and my sunglasses), so I took him to lunch. And then I went to the home show, which was a waste of time: a couple dozen vendors with no real displays except for the hot tub guys, and at least half a dozen home solar vendors. Which I don't need. Nobody had kitchen displays, sigh.

And now I'm going to take a nap. Yay for lazy(ish) Saturday afternoons.

Hurray, aurelia! And serious congrats, I'm glad they came to their senses.
