Information need of the day: two young women, sort of alternative-looking, who asked for books on 1) demonology 2) serial killers and 3) the police exam.

Also, after they asked for the demonology books I was like, "Sure! Let me look up the call number," and the one girl said to the other, quietly, "See, they don't judge." Hee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Suzi! That is awesome. Golf events can be a huge PITA, but also a huge draw for people with money, as I'm sure you saw...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Were they possibly named Samantha and Deana?

Snerk. Perhaps very thorough fic writers who don't want to have an Internet search history.

I just looked at the clock on my computer and felt the urge to tap it to see if it was broken, followed by the stern voice of logic saying that digital clocks can not be tapped to fix them. And that the odds of a digital clock having stopped are slight.

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

the one girl said to the other, quietly, "See, they don't judge."

Aw. Warm and fuzzy.

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

I am desperately working, since I have two RFP responses due by COB on Thursday, complicated by a work trip to Salt Lake City tomorrow and Wednesday. Please, please let the airplane wifi be functional on all legs of the trip.

Surgery~ma to Typo, and move~ma to Liese and her parents.

flea, you're the best kind of librarian.

edit, because mearaing in my head doesn't work so well:

Zen, I hope it's nothing and that any new news isn't unnerving.

Suzi, go you! That's fantastic. Fundraisers are stupidly complicated to put together.

Awwww.

Tho' I will point out that if you're 8 or 9 and reading that sort of material, the librarian will have a word with your parents to inform them of what you're reading.

(Dad told the librarian I wanted to hex a boy at school, and he was very proud I was doing my research.)

Can any of the editorial types here recommend a good font to use for making labels to post on the wall next to art work? We tend to use Calibri around here for everything and I just don't feel like it would suit this purpose. The labels probably won't be any bigger than 3x5 or 4x6.

Maria, the weather will be gorgeous in Salt Lake the next couple of days, cooler, cloudy, and rainy. Which may not thrill you, but makes us desert dwellers giddy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Optima?
