I don't really even buy paper books these days. I'd get rid of almost all of mine if I had them electronically.
Just had to break the bad news to my boss that we are way behind of a client deliverable, which the client is going to FLIP about. But I really thought we would maybe not be 100% done on time but at least like 95%? And now it looks more like 50%, because not nearly as much got done last week as I expected (by others, not by me) and there is way more to do than expected, also. Ugh. And I tried but I can't really come up with any fixes for this to be done on time.
after great luck selling a few thing online last month and then 2 quick sells this week - today has been a nothing burger. several listings up across platforms with very collectible things and lots of views, no sales.
I have a grocery bag full of pie to bring to work tomorrow. So that's something.
Online selling is a grind. We are clearing out some old equipment through a few fronts, and sometimes it just feels like an endless stream of either nothing, or scammers.
I like thrift books. [link]
I'm kind of with Jessica on used book stores. There was a store in Chapel Hill, NC, called The Bookshop where you never knew what you'd find -- in a good way. Sadly, they closed some years ago.
My Firefox new tab page is promoting a story about tetanus with the subtitle 'What does rust have to do with it?' and all it does is make me think of Tina Turner. "What's rust have to do with it? What's rust but a second-hand oxidation..."
I'm supposed to be in a webcast, but the invitation tells everyone to go to conference rooms, and has no information for viewing in remotely. Oh, well, guess I'll have to spend this hour catching up on the late-night shows.
Breakfast fail. I bought two burritos that sounded delicious and ISTG I read the ingredients but when I went to eat one this morning I saw potatoes on the label. First ingredient! Argh. But was starving and couldn't think of anything else to eat so I took a Benadryl and had one and it wasn't even that tasty. I'm gonna leave the other one in the freezer at work for someone else to eat. Benadryl is working, though, so that's good and later there will be pie.
Mmm, Tina Turner.
I stayed up too late reading (accidentally! I didn't realize how long the book was and suddenly it was midnight!) and when I woke up this morning started to make coffee before realizing I used up the last of the coffee yesterday. Boooo! Ended up taking a long walk to the grocery store and also picking up Starbucks. Because argh.
