My grocery list from last night, of course.
I am having the most wretched morning ever at work. A program on my computer that I need simply won’t work properly. The IT guy has spent all morning trying to fix it, bless his heart, but I really need to get on with the whole Working thing here. So while I wait for him to get a laptop ready for me, I present you a book meme I took from Claire. This is the Work Edition.
Directions:
1. Grab the book closest to you.
2. Open to page 123, go down to the fifth sentence.
3. Post the text of next 3 sentences on your blog.
4. Name of the book and the author.
5. Tag three people.
So, my book is the 1999 CIRM Exam Content Manual (Certified in Integrated Resource Management–you could google that and find out where I work, even find out my last name, but why they would put my full name on the Internet without at least notifying me is another Bad Work Day Story altogether..). It doesn’t have 123 pages, so you’re off the hook there.
The next closest book is the Basics of Supply Chain Managent Instructor Guide. Luckily, it’s divided into sections with pagination restarting for each. No 123 there, either.
Trust me, I’ve read these babies, you are lucky to be spared even the fifth sentence of the 123rd page.
So.. next closest is The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition.
“Journal publishers who wish to put their publications on their Web sites, or license them to database publishers, need to ensure that their contracts give them that right.”
And with that, I need to go finish entering the year-end articles and Conference Proceedings into our publications database. Ironic, is it not?
Understanding Living Trusts by Vickie Schumacher
“Your attorney may call it by another name, but he/she will probably know what needs to be prepared.”
Not very interesting. Blah. Work books suck.
Thanks for the grocery list, though.
Have I got a sock book for you! Perfect for beginning sockers. Let’s get through Christmas. Now I know what to get you. And you are from the eastern part of the country so I think there are some other things you might enjoy.
It is a rather bizarre concept, isn’t it? I think it must be much more interesting to men than women. Blehk.
The idea of a group of women forming a supreme sisterhood over sexual relationships with the same man just seems gross
Hey E, I’m glad you took up the mantle of the meme! I probably would have tapped you anyway, I just didn’t feel like it when I was typing. I love that you have Chicago Style Manual on hand. Very nice.
