Trudging through the sludge

The hardest thing about my schedule right now is keeping up with all the email. What with classes, class projects, TAG stuff, other stuff, and garden-variety stuff stuff, I cringe whenever I double-click on Thunderbird.

On the plus side, the Digital Content Group thing is finally working itself out; my official start will be this Monday. And I got reassurance from a friend that the typical hiring cycle at an academic library is something like three months after résumé deadline, so I not only shouldn’t be worrying, I shouldn’t even be thinking about it.

And though my checking account looks as though I let a ravening Mongol horde pillage it, what with tuition and property taxes, I did chuckle when the credit union flashed up a “however will you pay for college?” ad spiel on its home page. Chuckled and thumbed my nose, ’cuz mine’s all paid for, ha ha ha!

On the not-so-much-with-the-plus thing, I think I may have a low-grade bug of some sort. Occasional sneezing, occasional coughing, constant energy drainage. I ought to go haul some books back to the library and pick up a couple of holds, but I’m not sure I can make myself trudge through the sludge to do it.
