Sky Blue Sky
Mar. 12th, 2023 07:51 amAfter yet another six-day 52-hour week, I felt no guilt about ignoring two calls to cover callouts or no-shows this weekend. I had plans, and I needed the rest. I'm gone in twelve days, and I'm not letting HR's inability or refusal to do its job become anything like my problem.
Gave some books to a co-worker - better they go to Russ, who I know will read and enjoy them than they sit on shelves at Half-Price Books for who knows how long. I had that little hoarder/collector voice in the back of my head, but it got shut up in a hurry. A couple of local gamers have asked about some of the RPG stuff I'm offloading, so maybe Noble Knight won't be getting that much of the collection after all. And I've even had a few nibbles on the X-Wing collection.
I've torn through a few novels this week. A Jack Reacher novel. Murder mystery set on Nantucket Island. The third Southern Reach novel. And I'm a few dozen pages into a Conan novel by S. M. Stirling. Varying quality, but all enjoyable enough.
