That darned day again
Sep. 14th, 2011 10:17 pmSplit shift definitely makes it more exhausting.
Today the blood drive people were in the library. They are the most inconsiderate users of library space, loud,thoughtless, rude, and often demanding. This time they extended their usual hours by 30 minutes to 6:30. You'd think that they'd still be out well before 8 pm but no, we had to literally chase them out.
Library book club finally met to discuss Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court which they had originally scheduled for last May and kept putting off because none of them had finished the book. I don't think most of them ever did. They all hated it. I can only guess that 19th century writing was too much for them, though generally I find Twain pretty easy, and I thought that book was fairly clever and full of political commentary on modern culture.
Got all the stuff for tomorrow night's spinning demo hauled up there and piled in the staffroom to be ready. That way I don't have to rush to get it packed and up there tomorrow.
Gary made chicken porkolt for supper. That's a Hungarian dish with chicken, onions, and tomatoes and a load of paprika, served with noodles or gnocchi. We had the gnocchi, which I really like. So that made up for the long day kind of, but now I need to sleep. Meeting all the way up in Rockton tomorrow morning.
Oh, and it's 45F outside headed down to a possible 32F before the night is over. It's too early for frost, but not far north of here they've already got a hard freeze alert. And our hay guy called to say he has two loads for us. So we'll be unloading hay soon and I'll be griping about the cost no doubt.
