The Disorganization Continues

Well, the psychotic relationship between my camera and Baffy here continues. I'm trying to upload pictures, but I may have to do that at work, then mail them to myself to upload them from home (since I'm not supposed to install software on office computers, which is probably a good rule, though inconvenient).

I'm going to try once more. Perhaps I won't choose Canon's software this time.


Prairie Tank, Sock and Book I Read Posted by Picasa

I have no idea where I was going with this picture, but here it is. The book was good. The boy made me read it.


Prairie Blocking Posted by Picasa

And this is Prairie blocked. It's finished now. I've even worn it. I finished Sigyn, too. The socks are not done, however.

I have many things to rant about. I'll try to choose just one. Today in Salon's Broadsheet I read an entry that was all about parents who leave work at 6 to go get their kids, and non-parent coworkers who feel put out by it. I have just one thing to say: No one is getting paid to work after six (presumably) and the parent is using it as a good excuse. And good for him/her. I work with someone who has recently bought a condo (single male, no kids) and I don't feel at all guilty going to get the boy when IT'S TIME TO LEAVE because I spent no time on the phone with my real estate agent. Oh, and if you want to leave to have a life too, for god's sake, just say so. I won't hold it against you.

Best TW feedback ever

Over at the dayjob, SMEs are feverishly trying to get documents back to me all marked up, in preparation for the release that's supposed to happen the week I'm back from VP. Today's best comment: Unfortunately not true. SMEs, they're so cute.

What I read: January 2024

"Morgan is my name" by Sophie Keech. Office book club selection. It gets exhausting to read about plucky young heroines who are terrible at needlework all the time. I should probably read some Jo Walton. I mean, you can be good at needlework and other things too! I didn't find this book very surprising. The first half was kind of boring, but it got better towards the end.  LHC #233: "The Shifter" by Janice Hardy. I read her writing advice website regularly, so I thought I should maybe read an actual book to find out if she was worth it. Oh my, the voice of this book grabbed me immediately. The worldbuilding seemed shady but the voice was solid. It wasn't very subtle, but I might not be the target audience.  LHC #234: "Ragnarok: The End of the Gods" by A. S. Byatt. At this point with my library account, I'm just guessing. I know there was something by Byatt there? I suspect there was. I did not know what to make of this book. Strange, but it w

What I read: March 2024

  LHC #240: "Vita Nostra" by  Maryna and Serhiy Dyachenko. Translated by Julia Meitov Hersey. All I knew going in was dark academia. This was a neat thing to read after A Deadly Education last month. The students can leave this school at summer and winter break, but maybe they shouldn't. Also, interesting education method, providing Sasha with a CD player and punishing her if she leaves it in the mode where it plays all the tracks in sequence.  "Norse Mythology" by Neil Gaiman. When I finished Ragnarok by AS Byatt (last month? January?) I was thinking it might have made more sense if I had any knowledge of the subject matter. The boy had left this lying around, and it was not a tough read.  LHC #241: "Science on a mission: How Military funding shaped what we do and don't know about the ocean" by Naomi Oreskes.  I deferred this once because it was so long. History of science is challenging for me to read, because of the need to get a grasp on dispr
