Well, except for overflowing book drops, work wasn't all that bad today. Combined high and low point: I got a note advising me that I have too many accumulated vacation days and must use a bunch of them up before the end of 2012. How much is too much? Well, it says I have 43 days. I'm not sure that's right, but I can't see any way to dispute it. I have trouble scheduling blocks of time off, and it's hard to use up that many days one at a time. I may have to do something like take every Thursday off for the rest of the year...
I'm not the only one in that situation. The circulation manager has a similar large accrual, and was joking that I could just take the spring off and she'd take the summer...
Last night we watched Disney's Fantasia and tonight we saw the Italian "remake" in Allegro Non Troppo. I won't say one is better than the other, but rather that they complement each other to make something even better when combined.
I also did two uncharacteristically "consumerist foolishness" things. A calendar I wanted was 60% off at Amazon, and I added two other books to the order to get the free shipping. Of course that's just what they hope you will do. In my defense, the two books had been on my wish list for a while and I was going to eventually buy them anyway. The second? I bought another railroad car off Ebay. It was only $11, and it was a DT&I one that we don't yet have, but the real reason I bought it now was that I had already accumulated $2.50 in "Ebay bucks" from the other stuff I bought during December. Again, just what they want you to do. Someone take away my passwords and hide them.
