What have you been reading today? Everything counts, from the user's manual to the back of the cereal box!

User documentation I wrote years ago (which I was pleasantly surprised to find is quite good, with only a few minor updates needed).

But mostly reviewing lecture slides for a guest lecture I said I'd give on Thursday and have only just remembered. Er. At least I remembered more than 24 hours in advance. /o\

Oops! Good luck.

[ironed_orchid]

At least you did remember. Someone I know just turned up for a guest lecture a week earlier than the organization had expected, so you are not alone in these errors.

[nanila]

Now I'm not sure if you're teasing me, because I've also done that...

[ironed_orchid]

Oops! No, I forgot. But person on fb was this week and flew interstate to attend guest lecture... which I don't think you did.

A recovery pamplet, and I finished a therapy book I've been slogging through. The end was much better than the beginning so I'm thinking there was some that sunk in maybe.

Next book is going to be for pleasure only. I need a break from therapy books.

It's good to reward yourself with pleasure reading for doing all the hard work reading. When I was at uni, I would buy a new (full price, recently published) novel at the end of each semester, to mark the break between those types of reading.

I like your reward system. :)

Ebay dispute resolution procedures. Sigh.

[ironed_orchid]

Ugh. I hope it all works out in your favour.

[davidgillon]

Thanks, fingers crossed.

[anotherheather]

Ugh. Been there before. Hope it works out in your favor.
