Random Stuff

My project at work is helping make photocopies of the nomination materials to go out to the faculty. Lots of copies - like 19,929 of them. I will be working tomorrow and on Friday afternoon, and maybe over the weekend. Hopefully this will be remembered when I take off the Tuesday before Thanksgiving...

Brenda sent me a birthday present, which I got today. A calendar of treehouses around the world. Someday when I become a clairvoyant pirate/writer/hermit, I will live in a treehouse instead of a cave.

Indiana has early voting (?? - I don't know), so since I'm registered to vote here, I will be voting tomorrow. I am trying to have good thought about the election. I have also made sure my passport is still current (good until Dec 2010, just in case).

I have a phone interview scheduled next week for the Alaska job. I'm alternating between excitement and nervousness (as in a lot of random smiling for no reason, followed by feelings of dread and nausea). If nothing else, at least some response has happened to one of my applications, so I take this as a sign that at least on paper I'm not a dork (no guarantees about in person ;-)

I am baffled by the Dewey Decimal system of classification, and can only hope that the mysteries become clearer before my assignment is due.

If I had roughly 17 years with nothing scheduled, I MIGHT be able to catch up on all the things I would like to do.

It's still not fall here. It's been in the 70s and 80s. boo.
