dchenesMy workspace is an L shape, and the corner is three feet deep. I have been trying for three years now to figure out what to do with all that wasted space. Mostly it's got phone cable and dust in it, and my computer in front of it hiding the phone cable and the dust.
Speaking of wasted space, my 10 drawers of filing cabinet should really be two 3-drawer filing cabinets and a set of storage cupboards. I've wanted to get the skulls out of the filing cabinets for two years now. They take up two and a half drawers and the only reason they're in there is because the filing cabinets lock. (Hm. That gives me an idea about the now-unused tutorial materials lockers, which also lock, and are currently harboring books I could lock up in the china-cabinet-size library. And I have to find someplace to put the dissection instruments...) I should bring a tape measure to work tomorrow and start writing things down.
The good news is, if I have time to think about things like that, it means I'm not thinking about the actual anatomy course.
On the home front, Lily has discovered the "stick a foot through the holes in the laundry basket and swat anything that happens to be out there" game. I may have to buy a cat toy with feathers on it, so she can swat that. She has also trained me to put a junk towel over the folded laundry if I'm not going to put it away immediately, so she can shed on the towel rather than on the laundry. Fortunately she thinks towels are perfectly acceptable sleeping surfaces.
This week's batch of frittatas are Italian sweet sausage, parmesan and oregano, and reasonably tasty although I really wanted breakfast sausage rather than Italian. It's nice that I only needed two sausages for a dozen frittatas, and it's also nice that I didn't quite cook this batch to death (I utterly loathe runny eggs, so I cooked the everloving daylights out of last week's batch and discovered how much was too much). The next batch will be smoked salmon and dill and possibly grated potato if I can figure that out. Potatoes always have more water in them than I expect.
