work, and play disguised as work

The job I'm currently at would be a lot easier if I actually had access to the calendar I need access to. OK, well, maybe it wouldn't be easier, because I'd have more things to deal with, but it would be nice to be able to deal with everything I'm supposed to deal with. It's also slightly harrowing to look at a completely full calendar I didn't fill up, and have to work with/in/around it. It feels like it would be awfully easy to forget things because I didn't know they're on the schedule, because I didn't put them there. (Can you call it ignoring something if you didn't know it existed?)

At least the commute is easy. I walked home, albeit downhill most of the way, in 20 minutes. I don't know what the commute will be like, uphill, first thing in the morning. I always feel like I'm dragging in the morning.

It amuses me somewhat that I couldn't tell my grandmother how to get accents out of a non-US-International Windows keyboard, until I tried it at work today. But now I can get accents out of three different keyboards.

Speaking of accents, Traducteurs Sans Frontières sounds like something I should look into. On top of which, they've got a nifty list of translation problems and other FR/EN linguistic peculiarities.

My cough is better. It's still there, but it doesn't hurt any more.
