Where did June go?
Jun. 24th, 2010 08:28 pmCan it really be the last weekend of the month?
Checked those "out of order" computers this morning and could find nothing wrong except that one of them had been unplugged from the ethernet jack. No response yet about Fedora and the Broadcomm NIC (sounds like an Aesop's Fable to me.) So I got to catalog for the rest of the morning, though my desk still looked buried when I left at 12:30.
Other than the mosquitoes and flies, it was a pleasant enough day. Tess got to go out (after missing yesterday due to heavy rain) and I got to go to the spinning study group, though there were only three of us. County fair supervisor called about the fiber arts department. I was afraid she was going to ask me to judge again, though I passed that responsibility to someone else for this year. No, she just wanted to make sure that I had seen the fair's web site and would be entering work in the exhibits as promised. I assured her that I had things to show, which I do.
In fact, it may be a question of trimming down the number of entries rather than getting it high enough. There is no reason not to enter items that were displayed in our Woodstock show last October, as they were still completed within the last 12 months and have never been in the county fair before. I still should whip out some fresh knitted item, but I have an idea for a scarf that won't take long if it works.
Meanwhile, tomorrow is my boss' last official day before being retired. We are having pizza at lunch tomorrow, but there's also a retirement pot luck Saturday evening at a colleague's home. I got tapped today to give the toast, which requires some thought. Anyone know of a good quote from someone like, oh, say Dorothy Parker or H. L. Mencken that would be good for a laugh about libraries or librarians? Lacking that, I'd say Shakespeare but he apparently never mentioned either one in any significant way. He does say a lot about books, of course, but most of it is just sideways reference.
