it is pretty hard to do a bad job unless you have vision problems or are paying no attention.

A former roommate and my sister both only washed the fronts of dishes. My sister also manages to leave them greasy.

No power outage for meara!

It is a sad day for my city-- Eastman Kodak is filing for bankruptcy.

Sad for me too. I wonder if I should go stock up on Kodak film.

Yes, I still use film cameras. I like photography better when I'm using my old manual SLR.

just not in the top 50 of his what's important list.

Yeah, that's the problem, I think -- it's hard to get someone else to remember something that only you care about.

I wonder if I should go stock up on Kodak film.

There's plenty of other quality film, don't you think? I'm going to miss Kodak for a number of reasons, but I was an Ilford girl back when I was in the darkroom myself, and when I can't get them or need colour, Fujifilm has never done me wrong.

It sounds like they are still going to be making film? Maybe:

It hasn't been a big employer in years, so the effect on Rochester is more emotional. Unless they can't pay their retirees, and then we are screwed.

About once a year, my coworker makes the same damnstupid, bloody obviously WRONG mistake and brings the system down around our ears.

I refuse to clean up the mess because HE PERSISTS AT DOING IT AGAIN.

He can explain it.

I am still wrestling with my student worker dilemma.

I spoke with the one girl's supervisor, and the weird thing (about leaving, and then emailing that she was staying) turned out to be a mix-up.

So -- I still like the other girl better, but she is a second semester senior, and I will need to hire again in May and I HATE doing this. But she can work more than 10 hours a week if I need her to.

Yeah, that's what I figure in the end. I am the one who started doing Flylady; I don't need to drag him into it unwillingly. But he has both expressed appreciation and made his own contributions without prompting, so I figure it's a win all round.

I've had a hard time getting back into Flylady since I got home from break. It breaks down every day at about this point, so I think I just need to rejigger my morning routine. I get to this point where I've done everything but the room rescue and any workout-type stuff. The thing right before those is going around and opening up the shades. Which I love doing. And by this time, I have my coffee in hand, so I walk around opening things up, and then I end up in the office last, whereupon I see my computer and sit down with my coffee and then it's an hour later and I'm either embroiled in the internet or have well launched into work with out realizing there were things I still meant to do before I started.

Fujifilm has never done me wrong.

This is true.

Work cancelled for the second day in a row = a breakfast of poached eggs, smoked salmon, and homemade hollandaise sauce (which didn't turn out perfectly but was still tasty).
