Feb. 5th, 2016 04:14 pmI appreciate that it held off snowing until February. Since it's February, I can't complain that it's snowing out of season. But I complain because it's the heavy wet stuff, being outdoors in which is more or less like being in the rain without an umbrella. So then you get on the bus and either drip all over everybody else, or get dripped on yourself if you happen to have gotten a seat and (somehow) stayed dry(ish). At least the buses don't leak instantly if it's only snowing. (Maybe I ought to read The Grey Seas Under again, and quit whining.)
Speaking of reading, anybody got a favorite site for free or cheap ebooks? I know about Project Gutenberg already, and have been making use of it, but the publication date cutoff for those is 1923 and some more modern stuff might be nice. I also know the Boston Public Library loans ebooks, and I do have a library card, but everything I'm interested in either has a huge waiting list or doesn't exist electronically.
I keep getting stern emails from the payroll system because I forgot to put my time in on Thursday. I keep forgetting because I don't get the reminder emails. I don't get the reminder emails because they go straight to my junk folder, despite my having set up and run a rule that says don't do that. Isn't technology wonderful, except when it isn't? And speaking of technology, Lily seems to have found a new hobby: washing my laptop screen. Mostly she wants me to get off the computer and go sit in the living room where there's lap space. Silly beast.
Now I can sleep this weekend, because I spent the last several hours putting together the supplies for the Oral Health Session on Wednesday. I don't have to panic because we don't have them for the orientation on Monday. (Not that anybody's going to want them on Monday, but I like to have them for then anyway.) So there.
