Mar. 16th, 2015 11:10 pmToday I ended up stuck in a Danny Kaye sketch at work where we went round and round over who had screwed up a wholesale order (turned out it wasn't us) and whether or not they meant 50 8oz containers as 25 lbs (which is what it actually amounts to) or whether the person who placed the order meant 50lbs (which was never written on the original order) and somehow forgot or wasn't able or. I have no idea what they meant. But then we got another order, and in the meantime there was a third order that got lost in the shuffle of the office around everyone's doctors appointments and aaaaugh.
And now I have to take back that Golden Dawn book and I haven't even taken any notes, ugh. Maybe I can take some bare bones notes tomorrow if it's quieter at work. I did manage to get a fair amount of words written today, as well as flinging my hands up in the air on the physics course at EdX. I'm pretty sure that if an object is flung upwards directly at 30 m/s, neglecting forces as you do in teaching simulations, it's going to travel 30 meters in the first second before gravity hits it, yes? Not 25?
(And if the answer really is 25 would someone please explain to me how that is? Because the goddamn problem didn't and now I am very confused.)
Anyway. I'm diving through the Kate Elliott books and really enjoying them, I'd read her Crown of Stars series years ago, up to the most recent book, and enjoyed them greatly, and now I'm enjoying the rest of them. Now I just have to churn through them as fast as I can get them out of the library.
We did try to replace my ancient, slowass netbook today as well as the boy's brokeass computer, but ran into the problem where apparently Tiger Direct won't let you use the credit card immediately, you have to have the physical thing there in your hand. I don't know what problem he had with getting a wish list set up so we could just dump it all into the shopping cart and go, but. I did, however, successfully go closet shopping for a new backpack since I managed to rip the Cirque tote bag I've been toting my stuff around. Which is a pity, it was a really gorgeous bag. And the boy's right, I shouldn't have been using it for daily wear. C'est la vie.
And I have so much more stuff I want to do and organize and read and do, and so little brain to do it with right now. Bleh. Maybe tomorrow. For some inexplicable reason closet-shopping (and internet-window-shopping because I was looking in the wrong closets at first) for a new backpack has kicked my brain into need all new school supplies quick go find the sales school is coming. Self, we have been out of school for ages, and all our intellectual pursuits are for fun and have no schedule. So shut it.
