Oh Readerware, Why Must You Hate Me So?

Dear Readerware,
I know it is hard work to catalog books, especially after a protracted break. Therefore I was patient when you first refused to open for me. This was several days ago. First your client would not open, and then your server could not open, because the client was in the process of opening. So I turned off your client, and tried again, except that your server would not open. I closed you and gave you a breather. THen I tried to open your server, and it opened, but would not find the database. And so jakal88 sent me a new database, but this was not enough for you: you persisted in not listening to me, or helping me at all. So I gave up, and waited for belu to come and help with you, at which point you started running rather nicely, and certainly satisfactorily. I let you running, so I would not have the same problems again.
ANd then today, I came to the big green monster to set you up remotely, complete with my instructions in hand, and managed to get you set up quite easily, I thought. But I have followed my instructions to the letter, and you insist on giving me error messages about timed out connections and broken connections. Dear, Sweet Readerware- why will you not work for me? Must I wait and coordinate times with belu again, when I have this perfect time slot right now?
Frustratedly Yours,

belu- I may very well need your help again... Sorry.

My Day Post Readerware

On my way back from the student center (aka the Big Green Monster, the Emerald City, or the Green Kryptonite Palace) where I had my run-in with the cataloging software, I ran into shorr and steve, building a snow castle/cave. I stopped to chat and ended up helping for a couple of hours almost. Had tea, dinner and escaped campus briefly- which I didn't think I was going to do, since we'd decided against IFD in Brookline due to transit conditions. It does me good to get a different sort of interaction pattern on occasion.

Didn't get much done in the schoolwork dimension, but I have a lot of my work for the week done, so that's less of a problem than it could be. I did put up my wall-hanging from last Monday's shopping trip. It looks pretty good, if a tad off center from where I probably should have hung it. But it's another step to making my walls less bare.

ANd I got my very pragmatic package from home. It's exciting.

Random Useless Interjection

Just found out one of Steve's recent poems is in parody of Anacreon in Heaven. Somehow this tickles my fancy.
