That's a satisfying place to pause for lunch. And not rigged at all, no no.

Five crap things make a post
Oct. 6th, 2011 05:24 pmLiveJournal continues to be crap, fifteen-plus hours after it was supposed to have a three-hour facelift; I have no notion whether this post will actually get in there, as by and large at the moment I cannot.
Amazon's delivery service of choice has just done the exact thing that Amazon promised me faithfully they would not do. As a result I now have two copies of each of the three books I ordered (irritatingly, both copies of one book are dinged), and if Amazon tries to charge me for the duplicates I will be insanely angry with them.
If not: well, I still have unnecessary spare copies of three books, at a time I'm supposed to be culling. Hey-ho.
My bank has faithfully deducted a payment from one account, and faithlessly failed to credit it to another. This is probably standard operating procedure, and I expect it'll turn up tomorrow; but in these days of instantaneous transfer, and with both accounts held (putatively) in the same building/on the same servers, I see no reason why they should get to possess my money for twenty-four hours.
My book? Is crap. And continues to be unfinished, if not unfinishable.
My work-rate? Continues to be as crap as my arithmetic.

Catch how many?
Oct. 6th, 2011 06:38 pmA wiser man than I would have figured out before this that if he feels this crap about himself at this time of year, it might be no bad thing to turn on his SAD light.
Trouble is, feeling this crap about myself? I'm not going to do that, there's no point. Either I'm not worth it or else I'm delusional, imagining that it could conceivably make a difference. You choose. I'm unreliable.

I really don't like that thing that people do here on the internets, where they're all "I've got some Really Exciting News! That I can't tell you, because it's a secret! But it's Really Exciting!!" Basically it's either news or it's a secret, by definition it cannot be both; and if it's a secret, then, y'know. Keep it. Until it's news, and then share. Is my attitude.
So: I've got this Really Exciting Review, which I can't show you, because it hasn't been published yet! But it's Really Exciting!!
