psychsquirrel replied to your post: It is officially way too cold in the office today…. I’m sorry! Is your building not heated? It is heated, but the weather has been so temperamental I don’t think they have the ability to make it that warm when we have one day of cold weather. I sit by a window that goes almost completely from the floor to the ceiling (which normally I enjoy) so I...

It is officially way too cold in the office today. My fingers are so cold they have turned that weird funky color with slight hints of purple toward the ends, so I broke down and I’m wearing my gloves right now. I feel like a dork, and it is a bit strange to type and my mouse feels really weird, but I can already feel my fingers coming back to life. Thankfully I don’t have any...

Finally started reading “The Handmaid’s Tale” last night. So far I’m liking it. I’ve never read any Margaret Atwood before, but I watched her video talk last year at BEA and I found her to be an incredibly engaging speaker (even though it was kinda difficult to hear over the crowd). I’m most likely not going to be able to finish the book before the end of the...

Fell down a Goodreads hole. I added quite a few new books to my Wishlist, which always makes me happy. I like how quick and easy it is to buy what you’re looking for on Amazon, but the site was definitely not built for browsing through books.

Woohoo! Finally gearing up to leave work. I came in early today, worked through lunch, and stayed late to finish this massively nasty report on dual edition books (books that simultaneously pub in both paperback and hardback). It was insightful, but extremely time consuming. My brain is officially fried. Now I’m off to Alphabet City to grab a drink and curl up with my Kindle for a bit, and...

So I’m trying to organize myself since my desk looks like it threw up notepads, post-its, and handouts. I was flipping through one of my scratch pads, and I found this written down, “There is nothing worse than a personable asshole.” I have no idea why I wrote this down, if it’s a quote from something or what. So if anyone recognizes it, could you let me know?
