Good morning from Germany
I am back to work today. After staying up late the last days and really sleeping in I had some troubles getting up this morning. But other than that I am fit for work. Books are stacking up on my desk, having to deal with bills from last year .... more than enough to do on the first day.

How are you doing today? Are you going back to work today or are you off for a couple more days?

8. So you got a couple more hours
like the whole day before going back to work.

Sometimes I wish holidays would last longer too but after a while I would get bored without working. I enjoy relaxing at home, doing nothing but it isn't something I could do forever.

15. flat white ceiling, very light cream walls, white satin trim...
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 05:03 AM by adsosletter
most of the color is in the furnishings. I have read "The War for Righteousness: Progrerssive Christianity, the Great War, and the Rise of the Messianic Nation" by Gamble. I have been meaning to read it for awhile, and it actually relates to my thesis work, but just haven't gotten around to it.

Next I will read "The Handmaiden's Tale" by Margaret Attwood, and probably reread "All Quiet on the Western Front."

What plans do you have?

ON Edit: I just saw that you are back at work; sounds like you do book keeping?

17. Yeah I'm back at work
but that doesn't mean I'm not reading :)

At the moment I read "American Holocaust". Depressing but very interesting.

I am a librarian. Books are my life :D


Good night and sweet dreams :hi:

26. 85 a day?

At the moment I am searching for books I ordered but never got. It is fun to find out that they are out of order or whatever :eyes:

28. yup
covering five accounts, anywhere from 10-30 emails a day on each of them - can be f***ing tons. I consider myself fortunate if my inbox is under 300.

Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 05:17 AM by ALiberalSailor
Although it's a pretty craptacular day so far- rainy, kinda cold, and just generally nasty weather. I'm on vacation, so I'm not doing anything productive today! I refuse!

24. Good morning MissH.
and happy new year to you.

Back at work today, the whole place is still pretty cool - they close the building down over the Christmas-New Year break and so the heating was only just fired up this morning. It's as quiet as a graveyard in here, and I'm still trying to motivate myself to do some work (some hope of that happening).

27. Good morning tj
:hug:

and a happy new year to you too. Hope you had a good start.

The library was open between the holidays but my co-worker told me that the heat was off for whatever reason one day and they were freezing here. Good thing I was off.
So far no customers at the library but still enough to do.

29. MissH!


After having a week and a half off (although I did go in for a few hours one afternoon), I really dread going in to work today. Additionally, it's really cold outside.

My New Year's Eve celebration was very nice, very calm!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

sorry that I am only answering now, but we sat together in our department to have a glass champagne to start the year 2008 :D

The morning is over now, it wasn't really bad. Busy but I enjoyed it.

39. Guten Tag, MissHC!
:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I'm off today. :rofl: House will be empty after tomorrow morning, but then I'll have to wash everything. I'd use the solar dryer if I thought things would dry before they froze. :shrug:

Harleykid goes back to work today and is dreading it. Harleydad had some days off last week, if you can call them that. They made him work on his days off for at least half days ... and called him on Monday, which was supposed to be a company holiday. So it won't be a big shock to him to go back to work today.

When you get your bills done from last year, will you please come over and do mine? I don't pay as well as your boss, but I'm lots of fun.

48. Well, you know how it is with Sophie.
Harleykid left 8 years ago today, and left Sophie for us to babysit. (BTW, Sophie just turned 11 yesterday. Happy Birthday, Sophie! :party:) She never came back, couldn't get an apartment that allowed kitties, etc., until we had kept Sophie for at least 3 more years. Sophie was used to having brothers and sisters by then and we all decided it wouldn't be fair to pull her away from them and leave her all alone during the day while harleykid worked. Harleykid has new kitties, now, but every time she calls, we put her on the speaker phone and Sophie talks and purrs at the phone. When harleykid visits, Sophie wants to be fussed over by her. Sophie remembers who rescued her. :loveya:

Simon will always remember that you're his mom and you're the one who rescued him, even if he chooses Serengeti to live with. :hug: :loveya: And if you live nearby, you can visit him as often as you like! :bounce:
