The amazing thing is that, as old and horrible and useless as these books may look, as soon as they get into the catalog, folks want them. (That’s gov docs in general, not specifically Portuguese gov docs.)

Leaflets
Because I just can’t get enough of spring, I thought I’d take another photo of the new baby leaflets. It’s amazing how green the trees are, compared to just a week ago.

I just went to the kitchen to nuke my oatmeal. A coworker was heating water in the electric teakettle, so I waited until he was done before turning on the microwave, onna counta both the microwave and the electric teakettle cannot be used simultaneously, lest they open a rift in the space-time continuum. So, I’m waiting, and my coworker asks me what I’m doing. I explain. Teakettle whistles. He turns it off and makes his tea, and I pop my oatmeal in the microwave and turn it on.
So what do you think my jeenyous coworker did? He refilled the electric teakettle and turned it back on. While the microwave was running.
Calgon, take me away!
