So, it’s a darn good thing I haven’t upgraded over here. Today have been frustrating and frazzling and…other things starting with “f.”
It all started when I left my insurance card at home. Luckily, my follow up with the OB/GYN went well, and I now have all sorts of tests and such to look forward to. (Eek!) But, once we (yes, the Hubby has to go get tests done too) get those tests out of the way, then we’ll finally know where we stand. So, I have some phone calls to make soon.
I made it to work on time. And then I spent the first couple of hours at work peeved with the new interface for my work blog. The image interface now makes code that I have to clean up. And…it wouldn’t give me the picture I chose. I turned in a support ticket to the Wordpress folks, who are probably tired of hearing about problems with their new product, but there you are. And then…there were some of those patron interactions that I hate. Luckily there were also some of the good ones to balance them out.
When I got home I got some hugs and took a shower, so I’m happier than I was. Thank goodness.
Tomorrow includes: A Cat going to the vet, Me getting the finances in order later in the day, and some time to work on my T13 at work. Isn’t my life glamorous?

Sometimes things just all come together.
Today, I had to deal with a really angry patron on the phone. Knowing full well that she wasn’t going to be pleasant, I called her anyway with the bad news that we weren’t going to be able to help her. (You see…I know who she is, and I didn’t want my co-workers to have to deal with her. meh.) I really don’t deal well with being yelled at. It’s hard on my nerves. Sigh. Luckily, my Sweetie miraculously appeared not ten minutes later while I was looking for a book in the stacks. He gave me a bit of a cuddle, and I felt much better. Yay for my Sweetie!
But that isn’t the Grand Conjunction I titled this post for. No. And it’s not the one in The Dark Crystal (one of my favorite films) either. This afternoon I discovered where next year’s American Library Association conference is going to be held. Next year’s ALA is going to be in Anaheim, CA. Do you know what else is in Anaheim? Yes. Disneyland.
Okay. So far we have a Library conference in the same town as Disneyland.
Add to this the fact that I spent my honeymoon at Disneyland. (We had a great time. One night we even got to spend in the honeymoon suite at the Disneyland Hotel. The bathroom is the same size as the room…well nearly, and the bed is reinforced. Just some fun facts for you.)
Hmm…now when is the conference? June 26–July 2, 2008? That’s interesting. My anniversary is June 29th. Obviously, it’s a sign! I must spend my anniversary in Anaheim next year. Now, if I can only get my Library System to pay for the conference itself…
I’m tired of not making plans just in case I finally manage to get pregnant. If a miracle occurs, and I am actually pregnant on my anniversary next year, I will just have to take this opportunity to do all of the stuff I normally ignore in favor of rides. *crosses arms* *nods head* So there.

At work I am in charge of the 500s (Math/Science), the 000s (Computers/UFOs/Library Science), the Science Fiction, and the A/V (DVDs/Videos/CDs/Books on tape). Anything in good condition that gets donated for those areas goes through me, as I decide whether or not to add the item. Lately, some kind soul has been donating DVD sets of TV Shows. I’ve seen Buffy, Angel, Smallville, etc. Today, I got to add the first 4 seasons of 21 Jump Street. (Sadly, season 5 had a scratch on one of the discs.) Ah, Johnny Depp 20 years ago. Yes, some days I am very amused by my job.
