rain = the buses are slower and later than usual. i spent so much time standing outside in the cold and the rain (yes, i had an umbrella; no, it was not entirely effective) waiting for a bus (ESPECIALLY THE #18 BUS) to show up. jeez. when i got home, my feet and the bottom three inches of my pants were all wet. i need to get new shoes that are not flats, because puddles + flats ALWAYS = squeaky-wet feet.

but anyway, work was good. i got there late, but roxy is cool and completely understood about the buses. she told me i did a really great job on something i did yesterday (going through a newly-typeset manuscript to make sure that all of the changes from the previous draft had been incorporated -- dude, i caught like five errors that no one else had seen!).

i spent most of the afternoon xeroxing letters from gary snyder to allen ginsberg for this _selected letters of allen ginsberg and gary snyder_ book that counterpoint is doing. this is not a difficult task, but it is turning out to be very time-consuming. some of the letters (actually, they're already copies of the letters) are typed, and on 8.5x11 paper. these are the easiest, because i can just feed them into the copier. but it gets more complicated: different paper sizes, handwritten letters that require adjusting how light/dark the copy will be, and if the letters were written on colored paper, more adjustment of the color intensity to compensate for it. ohhhhh my god it is taking forever.

also i made myself a crappy lunch today. completely unsatisfying; i didn't even eat most of it.
