Wednesday, February 12, 1992


Walk to work?  Not lately.  My excuses:  errands to run, have to pick up the boys at daycare, snow on the sidewalks will ruin my shoes.  I wore my camel tan slacks yesterday and thought they used to fit me a lot better even last year.  I bought them seven -- or was it six -- years ago.  So I have an expanding middle.  Should I be surprised?

There's a lot of things to do at work, but for some reason, I've drawn to weeding the nonfiction collection.  I study a section of the 620s as well as the 370s and 380s.  I'm not finding a major bonanze of withdrawals in either of these sections.  At the same time, though, I think about a shifting project.  and I ribbed Sharon about her penchant for rearranging furniture.

Magnavox's Magna-Color and Astro-Sonic Stereo (in a Big Box)



Tuesday, February 11, 1992


A partial morning off.  I have an 11 o'clock appointment with Pat to have my hair cut.  My free time is spent at the computer, inputting calendar squares from early 1987.  JoAnna's pregnant; I'm bored.  I still miss the freedom of Oshkosh, the exhilarating bike rides, the crazy Tuesday night, the late-night solitary highs.

Deb is today's interview candidate.  Considering the fact that she's already been offered two jobs this year, both Liz and I are expecting a big-gun showing.  It doesn't happen.  Deb is so overcome with a case of nerves that she can manage only the briefest of answers to our questions.  She doesn't put the slightest dent into Eve's or Diane's chances.

The board meeting is a very useful and productive 2-hour session.  Sandy Allen appears to be very supportive of the library's needs, specifically in the areas of staffing and materials.  Now I have mixed feelings about John Schaffer's candidacy.  I think I'd rather have Sandy go to the mat against Julie and Don.

Postcard World, symphonically colorized, looks much more inviting!

Union Carbide: Shaping Another Sun

Is that anything like playing God?  The illustration most definitely has elements of religious iconography.
