Bah! I posted this on the 29th. I don't care if the blogger clock thinks I'm 50 seconds late.
Anyway. Had a staff meeting today with my boss and 'peers.' Boss says she'll be paying more attention to us now. Is that a good thing?
I'm having a hard time focussing on my blog entry. Sleep deprivation plus illness. Plus crazy stuff at work today. (Wait a minute, I thought I paid people good money so I don't have to do this.)
My sister bought a new gerbil today for her family. Gerbils are good housepets. They stay in their cage, but you can take them out and play with them if you want. They're cute and fuzzy and will tolerate a lot of neglect. I used to have two gerbils. My sister liked the idea and got herself two. They were named Sugar and Spice. Sugar died last week. Spice was still in mourning. So tonight Cinnamon came to live with her. They're being kept in the same cage, but divided by a wire screen so they can get comfortable with each other. Spice seems to think it's her duty to dig the poor baby out. So far, the introduction seems to be going well.
I know, you all care deeply.
The books: Slow going. One of my characters got up on a soap box and I'm having a hard time getting her down. She just keeps going off on tangents, and since this one chapter is done from her point of view it's very distracting.
