Went to meet with the Library Director for my evaluation. Got there on time and no one else was there. Uncharacteristic! So I emptied the Book Drop and she came about 25 min late thinking she was 5 min early. Ha!
So then I had to scurry to get to my hair appt. Called to say I was running 5 min late only to find I had written the time wrong and was an hour and a half early. LOL!
The evaluation went great!! No issues or concerns, all good and pleasant comments! Sweet!
Finally got some Good SOLID sleep time. Hate to admit, I broke out my heavy duty meds (from post-op) to achieve same.
Had a moment of panic last night: had taken the cheesecake out of the oven to cool before adding the sour cream topper, and while waiting for it to cool, turned the oven way down to save on gas. Heard this ominous pop! and the pilot went out, which has been a big problem with this stove. Couldn't get it restarted, so went ahead and put the topping on, and put it in the cooling oven. About an hour later, finally got it to restart, and finished on lower heat. Haven't tasted it yet, so don't know how the odd timing has affected texture, but I'm sure it has. And oh, well.
Cat's happy with the scrambled eggs, so I'm delaying the town trip another day. . . .
Naps are the thing these days. Nothing better for stress, although in my case age is involved as well.
But from the stress point of view, bad news looks like good news. A consultant didn't like the editorial we wrote, so it will need extensive re-doing. So my client has just agreed that and a little final tweaking on another paper is all we should try to do before I start working at Chicon on Tuesday.
I really should take Perkins for a run in the dog park now that I've replaced his county tag. Haven't worked up the energy yet.
Loaded up the Sims 2--the game where you have little simulated, um, "pet people" I guess, and help them work their way up the career ladder, fall in love, fulfill various aspirations. Or, alternatively, one can make an avatar of someone one doesn't like, and drown them, starve them, etc.
So, I've made a sim of the guy who kicked me to the curb after giving every indication that I had a future there--even though I was a lowly adjunct and therefore am not owed anything.
But I'm even a merciful deity when it comes to simulated versions of those who have done me wrong. He's got food, shelter, and I don't plan to drown him by deleting the ladder once he gets into the pool.
The only thing I deleted from his virtual home is his toilet. I'm satisfied with that level of virtual revenge.
Will Work For Dean !
ReplyDeleteThat's what one of my many Dean buttons says. And I swore I'd do most anything except phone banking and running for office. Ha!
Ha! indeed. Humans propose, life disposes. But it would be nice to be able to say I know a Justice of the Peace.
DeleteAw, thanks Bill!

I think I need a nap.
That all might read easier if you reverse the second and third paragraphs. :-)
DeleteYou mean people get the time of their appointments wrong? When did that start happening? :-)

Hi!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo.
Hi everyone. I'm alive.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much all I've got to say.
I think it might be time for another nap soon. I'm really liking the naps these days.

Maybe it would help if you gave him a *heart*?
