Hah..sabotage, someone's putting a spanner in the works are 
they...just as I suspected. You've been caught on CCTV.

But Ginger is showing exceptional initiative and is clearly ready to 
take over complete responsibility for the Section machines. Given 
that my instructions consisted of a vague 'I'll be seeing y'all' some 
weeks ago, I am astounded...

Can it be that HBP will not distract us for months? Damn, er, I mean, 
that's fantastic, you mean I have to concentrate on this as well? 
Just after I completed my second re-read and am scrambling to both 
earn a living and duck crucio's from expectant posters who are 
waiting for me to respond to their sparkling thoughts?

Ginger, alas I must break it to you that *certain cataloguers* regard 
RL as more important. Despite many attempts at memory modification, 
they persist in visiting their friends, ferrying their children 
about, shopping, boozing and generally farting about in a carefree 
way oblivious of their cataloguing tasks. Anyone would think our work 
Did Not Matter.

Miss Havisham tries not to think of the 500 posts per minute going up 
on main, and the impossibility of ever taming the beast..


Ginger..I would be so grateful if you could get the two lists 
aligned, it's one less task for me. Post any discrepancies, and I'm 
sure we can sort them out.

A tired Miss H.

Ginger, confused responds to the above:

I wasn't trying to hurry any one back, I just thought that since I was here, and had time, I'd kind of sort a few things out.  

Um, I'm management?  I thought I weaseled out of that one by pointing out the management has to think. 

Secretarial stuff, on the other hand, now that I can do.  I'll reallign the databases this weekend.  I'm doggiesitting at my parents' with high speed internet.  So I have 2 whole days by myself with a computer that goes from one page to another without a waiting period long enough to pluck a chicken.  

Um, are they posting on the main list now?  More than usual?  Wow, I hadn't noticed.  I just assumed that I was reading slower.  At one time I was 700 posts behind.  Now I bet it's only 200.  

One more thing:  I have no idea what a spanner is, so if there's one in here and it's a bad thing, blame Potioncat.  It was she who brought it up.

In the meantime, I'll take magical travel.  3.10 to 3.10.8.

Ginger, who has no children, no love intrest, no life and no money to go out and do fun things.  Yes, folks, this is my life, my love, and my passion.
