University
University classes are slowly being entered into the online registration system. Before anyone (virtually) runs to the website to see what is offered, the curriculum won't be visible until we hit the "approved" switch.
I've gotten about a third of them done.
We are lighter on officer classes than in the past few sessions, and there are several hands-on type of classes being offered. I'm pretty happy with the variety. I've been a little stricter on limiting instructors to two hours' worth of class time in order to make sure most everyone who submitted a class gets one the schedule. Yes, there may be some exceptions to that rule.
If only I had 3 more classrooms to work with.... sigh

Ignatius is thoroughly cowed by AElfgifu. While I was getting ready this morning, Ignatius ran to the bedroom door from somewhere down the hall. AElf' was already sitting near the door (after deigning to rub across my ankles). Ignatius stopped short, stared at AElfgifu for a moment, chirruped worriedly, and ran back down the hall at top speed.
Sigh. At least she didn't hiss or scream at him this morning.
Fixin' to Fixture
Woodcraft has figured out that with an appropriate incentive, I will come into the store and buy something. $15 coupon. A book on jigs and fixtures that I've been wanting to own since ealdthryth brought it home for me from the library. Good!. However, I needed to purchase $50 worth of stuff. On 40% markdown was a tapering jig that would round out the purchase price just right. However, I was a little wary since the thing looked a little flimsy.
Tha hallmark of a good salesman and what will get my repeat business is honest answers to my questions. I asked about the quality of the jig and what the guy thought of it. I got a clear and honest answer even if he seemed a little uncomfortable about providing it. I didn't buy the jig, but I did buy the parts to build my own--which was kind of the point of buying the book on jigs and fixtures in the first place, wasn't it?
