And now for some self-absorbed whining...

Man, today sucks.

First of all, my bike, which I love dearly, is in pieces in my back yard as I am trying to repair it by mixing pieces of it with my spare bike, creating what will hopefully be a Frankensteinian Monstrosity worthy of an overlord such as myself. And after spending two full hours last night working on it, I hopped on and found out that the gears don't work right on the frame I'm using. So back to the drawing board.

Secondly, we received more digitizing requests today than we normally receive in a week, so my itinerary for the day seems to be filling up rather quickly.

Thirdly, It came to my attention a few days ago that I may not be getting the funding that I need to pay for getting my master's degree starting this fall. The scholarship I'm hoping to get has had more requests for funding than it has funds, I've yet to hear if I end up getting anything at all, and that's got me a bit stressed out lately.

And finally, I once again forgot to eat breakfast today. Damn me and my not feeling hungry until it's too late.

Oh well, at least it's Friday. And on top of that, this is like the first Weekend in a month or two where I can just relax and sleep, and not have to do anything at all. So have a good weekend everyone. I'm off to the digitizing mines to hopefully get everything done before clocking out today.

Hrmmm...

Since you do work for a large library at Overlord U, there may be some sort of program where OU pays for your Reg fees...something about raising para-professionals up, blah, blah, blah.

Both the University and the Sucks to be You Public library system I work for have such programs...

HTH

Yeah, that's the scholarship that I was talking about. I guess it's not technically a scholarship, it's an employee education program. They only have limited funds for sending employees of the library to college, though, so i'm hoping they'll give me at least some funding.

If not I may have to start selling people's kidneys or something, and I hate to do that because I had been planning on starting a collection.
