I also considered titling this post thus:
Fruit cup.
That's what I'm eating right now. Guess the fruit. The answer will be revealed at the end of this post.
You might wonder why I'm eating a fruit cup. I'm eating it because on the way to work I took the wrong road and missed Chick-Fil-A and my standard Saturday morning sausage breakfast burrito with jalapeno salsa. (It's really very good.) You might wonder why I'm working on a Saturday morning. It's because we offer a small course some Saturday mornings. I will probably be working a lot of Saturday mornings now because my coworker, who has been here longer than me and is the other half of my team, has made known her intention to leave in just under two weeks.
In some ways I'm excited. It's like I've cut off her head and blue electricity has streamed out and into me and now there can be only one who makes determinations about which classes we offer and when. But on the other hand, I'm the one who has to teach all those classes (some of which involve numbers). Horse Academy is in a hiring freeze or I'd, you know, fish for people to come work with me. That and Sarah and I are talking as always of leaving this peninsula for the cold embrace of Minneapolis or the porny embrace of San Francisco.
But to get back to Saturday mornings: they're pretty good. The office is mostly empty and until the class at 10:30 I can sit here visiting sites that aren't blocked by our campus's ridiculous web traffic blocker (Attic Apartment, for example, is deemed to be just too bloated with sex). At 10:30 (that's 9:30 for most of you) I'll go to our room and either two people will be there or no one will be there. If no one's there, they'll show up Monday and tell me they waited all morning for me. Where? I'll say. At the bus stop. Over on 50. Why at the bus stop? I'll say. No one told us not to.
Anyway, enough of that. The other thing I wanted to tell you about was the library here. I think I've talked about this before and Nick knows about it but: the library here will deliver books to your home! They come to me by courier sometimes. This isn't something I want to happen, but it's the only way to receive a book on which you've placed a hold. So yesterday afternoon when I got back to the building these books were waiting for me in this blue wrappings:
Both exciting. I started reading the first and it's pretty good but probably wouldn't be interesting for people not interested in the person. I'm only somewhat interested and, appropriately, the book is only somewhat interesting to me.
