Still wrong
Jun. 22nd, 2010 08:46 pmThe "high probability of thunderstorms and heavy rain" failed to materialize. It was sunny most of the day, and very hot and humid.
Finally got a response out of the vendor I'd ordered batteries from. They are on the way, UPS says delivery Thursday. Which, of course is amusing since they are UPS batteries. ;p
New boss and old boss traded places today, so the director's office is now occupied by the new director. Everyone was confused at times, including the cat who is accustomed to sit on the desk in there, but the wrong person was in the chair. They were out a good bit of the time yesterday and today getting signature cards changed at the banks, etc.
No computers misbehaved today, or at least not in my presence. This is unusual. Maybe they were distracted by summer.
Felt a slight temptation to evil on hearing that the Kindle version 2 has been marked down to $189 (which probably means that version 3 is in the wings) largely because a number of books I've wanted to get in electronic format are available on Kindle but not on my eBookwise. Was saved by the thought that this is likely due to Amazon's exclusive marketing contracts, and furthered sobered by thinking of Amazon's past practices with respect to censoring files off users' Kindles after they were legitimately purchased and downloaded. That strengthened my resolve. No Kindle for me.
