I went to the Gem Faire today. It was about half the size it was last year. Many booths had very little stock. One vendor complained that he had about half the stock he had last year because he didn't have as much money to but stock as last year.

I am well into a loong series of books, and came to the end of the paperbacks I had purchased. Time to snag another six,

I considered ebooks because I am in an immediate gratification mood. Until I saw the price. Not only is it greater than a used copy (I like recycled books!), but it was more than a new one!

I had rather a nice compliment fr my new boss today.

Two people are on vacation this week, so our complement is down to six. This is, of course, happening at the end of the quarter when we need a big finish.

Woke up this am and went straight for the computer as usual, but it wasn't there. Felt surprisingly lonely. I DLd the apps for Lj and Twitter on the iPod. Better now. I do note that I am falling into the bad habit of writing sentance fragments instead of full sentances. Sorry about that!

One of the reasons I haven't been commenting or posting much is that my computer is sick. It randomly sleeps in the middle of whatever I am doing. Once it starts, it will go down again and again, so I can be in the middle of a comment or a post and not be able to finish it until the next day. I've tried everything I can do here at home to no avail ( Read more... )
