I've discovered that Gizmo doesn't object to being scrubbed with a sponge and warm soapy water; he just doesn't want to be placed in a tub. Once I let him stand on the bathroom floor he purred throughout being washed. (Rinsing him off is still a bitch in a building with no bathtub, though.)
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yay new job Amy!
I'm on my couch in sweatpants, babying my cold and periodically rolling out and folding dough for croissants.
It does look like there's going to be some kind of deal this afternoon, so I'll probably be back to work tomorrow. I think.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So I am on furlough, though I went in today because I wasn't sure of my status.The OPM website said check with your agency, my agency said the Clinical Center was open, but gave another link to check. Other link directed me back to OPM. Went in, helped out a little in the blood core until more people came in(and found that I'm not the only one confused about their status), checked my e-mail to find I am indeed on furlough, and went home.
In other news, our water heater has a leak somewhere, so the valve is shut off except when we need to shower.(Basically, no hot water if valve is shut off) Joy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay new job, Amy!
I overslept terribly this morning, but when I checked my email, nobody needed me for anything, so my lingering cold and I are staying in bed for a while. *cough*

I spent last week covering for a person on my one project, and now this week I'm covering for someone on my other project. Busy busy. But just got some possible good news about personnel changes so yay that.
Consuela you're making croissants from scratch?! Dang.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that is super impressive and an excellent use of a furlough/sick day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, Amy!
Aw, Gizmo.

Hello peeps!
Today is the first day of my "real" schedule. On the main circ desk on my own.
And look: we get to play on the interwebs.
Strangely, they prefer that we do that to reading. Apparently the library BoT doesn't like to see library clerks reading.
All jobs are strange . . . aren't they?

I think I'm on my fourth fold of the pastry, I can't keep track. It's strangely soothing. I also changed my sheets and vacuumed. I should do some laundry and go to the hardware store but I'm lazy.
