Evening update
--Ginny and I got to share a cab home tonight! In the fall session at Casual Job, the transcribers basically always finish an hour or so ahead of the proofreaders, so that had never happened before. It may well happen again this session, since the differences between spring and fall work increase our odds of finishing at the same time. ^_^
--There was a bit of wordplay that I was stuck on in the chunk of adaptation work I need to have in on Wednesday (which really means "tomorrow before work", because on Wednesdays Casual Job eats the entire day), and I was describing it to Ginny on the ride home, and voila! I had one of those wonderful moments where talking it out aloud made my brain come at it differently, and I think I have a workable pun now. Yay!
--I think I need to switch to (or at least start using) SpiderOak or something, because the lack of a functional desktop widget for Dropbox on Linux is getting more annoying all the time. :/ And while technically I did hear back from Dropbox about it, their answer boiled down to "that's what you get for using an OS that we're going to (wrongly) claim is too outdated-or-something for the widget to work, and it sucks to be you".
--When I got home, I came up to my office to see if my files had synced quickly enough with Hardison back in the house that I could switch him off immediately, and Jinksy followed me in and promptly found a spider on the ceiling for me. He was very excited. I was not. >.< (I can just barely catch a spider off the upstairs ceilings with our low stool and a wine glass, although it's a precarious reach and I'm always nervous about the spider making a dash for it. *shudders* But I caught it, and then
scruloose got home and took it outside.)
