COQUILLE DIARY MAY 2001:
May 2: Couple book reports: "Kiss of Shadows" By Laurel K. Hamilton. Book set in present day reality as we know it but includes all things fey, fairy, goblin etc. Main character is Meredith, girl detective. She is on the lam from her Auntie who is Queen of the Unseelie Court. She is in serious danger of being killed because Auntie has named her as heir or her evil, wicked, bad and nasty son. Who ever has the first baby within three years gets the crown. Not good news as the fey are not very fertile. Meredith must choose four possible sperm donors from her Aunts guard who have just been released from 800 years of celibacy. She picks 3 and a goblin to go back to Hollywood and maked babies. Fairly good plot and hoo boy is there ever sex.
The other book is Broken Sword. a tale about Kind Arthur, 12 knights of the round table, Merlin, The Holy Grail, The Hell's Angels , New York City is set between 12th and 21st century. Battle of Good and Evil.
Day at work: The time clock ran out of ink, so had to scribble in time. Cpu is ok and still working, so I rebooted, wiggled some wires and worked for a while. Computer kid determined it only needed a new power cord. Fixed!!
About 2 pm I experienced a gastrointestinal disaster, forced to go home to address the situation and return to work much refreshed. Erk.
Walmart shoppers will soon be able to purchase Walmart brand of wine. There have, of course, been many suggestions, the winner is Nasti Spumante.
Used mileage plan to book trip to Boise. It will be a short vacation but Mom and I can wear ourselves out just running around locally. So, look out, Emmett.
I received an email from a relative:
Sad news Friday May 4, 2001: Larry LaPrise the Detroit native who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died last week at age 83. It was especially difficult for the family to keep him in the casket. They's putl his left leg in....
Would someone please invent the air conditioned blanket? Please. Weather got up to 78, hence the wish for blankie AC.
5-25: Senior Moment? Could not get a print job to work at Joyce's station, so we gave up and printed it out on my printer. I left Joyce a note that her printer was not working!!! She said that the printer did not have PAPER in it. Duhhh
Second senior moment. Office supply person called to let me know my order had some in. What order? Went to check it out, there were three plastic bins sitting there. I double checked. I ordered these? Yep. Well, crap I wonder what I wanted with them. Maybe I can put incomplete charts in them? Got a call later. Supplie officer was mistaken those crate things WERE for some other department. Phew! Senility staved off for a few years.
There is an attempt at Union organization going on at work. The nurses already belong to Teamsters. I don't see the advantage myself, the trickle down theory works well. What ever they get, we get an echo of it. So no biggie.
That's all for May.
G'night folks.
