Work and other annoyances.

I didn't get to my Italian class tonight because I didn't get out of the office until 6:45! I'd been over at the jail for more than two hours with a couple of assistant state's attorneys, dealing with a client who is not as smart as he thinks he is. We wouldn't have been there nearly so long if the jail had more people on this shift, as much of the time was sitting around waiting.

I'm also annoyed at my library. Recently, they "upgraded" their website (it's really ugly and hard to navigate, compared to the previous incarnation). Among the improvements they made is the addition of the ability to reserve books. You give them your email address, and they email you a notice when the books are ready to pick up. Only they don't. I reserved a couple of books, and tonight, while checking for a date due on a couple of other books, I discovered that not only are the books ready for pickup, but I have to pick one up by tomorrow and the other by the next day. Did I get an email about this? I did not.

I certainly hope you will mention that to the library personnel when you pick up your books. (Or perhaps you should write a letter to make sure it is brought to the notice of the person in charge of such things.)

Sorry you missed your Italian class.

First thing I did was find the "contact us" link on the library's website, and I'll definitely mention it to the folks at my branch when I pick up the books.

*Sigh* work has a nasty habit of getting in the way of the more interesting things in life :=(
