I received today a commendation for using the least amount of sick leave last year. I have a certificate as proof. I find it all quite hilarious. Especially when you consider it all just collects and one day I am bound to go on a spree and use up all 50+ days of sick leave I have accumulated. Why don't I use it? Because my parents instructed me from a young age that one was never to call out sick unless one was sick enough to go to the doctor's. And who wants that? No thank you.
I finished Blac
kveil by Kristen Britain this afternoon. Hello, cliffhanger ending! The only characters you feel any relief knowing what has happened to them are the dead ones (::sniffsniff::). Everyone else? Well, it is going to take another how many years (and forgotten memories) to figure out what has happened to them. I actually felt for the length of the book, some of the subplots that were left hanging did not seem to be well developed at all (Amberhill much?). So, I will say that I enjoyed it, with reservations. The first book in the series, Green Rider, is still my favorite. Now, with all the "love triangles" blossoming, bits of it are turning into quite the little soap opera. What happened to the simple lives these characters once lead? Totally gone, I suppose!And now back to the cleaning I ought to have been doing hours ago. These piles of books are not going to get sorted by themselves!

It's always nice when someone notices that you are there EVERY DAY, isn't it? My sick leave accumulates, too, but if I am not in the library it's such a disaster that I'd just rather drag myself in. I think about redesigning, too, but nothing ever looks all that fabulous.
Oh yes. I tend to feel that the library will fall down around me if I'm not there to daily prop it up. Does wonders for my ego. ;) Until my co-workers take one look at me and insist I go see the doctor or at least go home so I don't plague them with any disease.
