Work, work, work, work. Hello, boys! Have a good night's rest? I missed you.

Bonus points for identifying the quote, but not very many. It's not an obscure quote.

I'm working from home today - the usual monthly disaster recovery test. It's nice sleeping in an extra hour and not driving 35 miles long before the sun comes up. Even if I do have to dress in normal work clothes. Also, this way I get to test the laptop that I will be lugging to NY next week before I get there.

As usual, there are problems. This is why we call it a test.

What I'm reading: Robin Hobb, Shaman's Crossing

Quote is of Governor LePetomaine.

Why normal work clothes? Can you, at least, wear bunny slippers with them?

No bunny slippers!

I wear work clothes because I need to treat this as any other work day.
Not that it would affect my productivity to be dressed more casually, but I don't want to jeopardize the ability to continue doing this.

Gov. Lepetomaine from Blazing Saddles (played by Mel Brooks) ... (not too obscure a quote, but a funny one, none-the-less ...)

Ah. Not a monthly disaster drill? Those I figure happen when you're not expecting them... so you'd be in any clothes you happened to be wearing.

a book for you

A book just crossed my desk that I thought you might be interested in. Yes, I know you have too many cookbooks, now.

The Master Cake Baker by Cleve Carney. Published by the Calmut Baking Powder Co. in 1927. What it says about itself is "One or more recipes for practically everything in the line of pastry the modern baker is called upon to make, together with complete instructions, will be found in this volume."
100 pp. We want $59.95 for it.

I don't suppose I can use my wads o'trade credit for it...?

I wish you could, then I could use my huge wad of trade credit here. Is the book of interest to you? How about using suetoo at svpal dot org?

If it were free (i.e. I could use my trade credit) I might pick it up, but otherwise no. Thanks for the thought, though!

There's a reason they call me a "book pusher". If titles cross my desk that seem like people I know would like them, I try to give them first right of refusal.
