IPL? Project Gutenberg?

Audiobooks?

I think it is "A Russian Beauty and other short stories"

There's a first edition of Ada for $25. I would've bought that, but it would have been super unwieldy on the elliptical...

the library bookstore like ALWAYS has first editions of Ada...i have one and like everyone i know has one and i've seen 'em used for no more than $2 like more frequently than it seems i should...

anyway, my revelation had to do with giving up on books, but i could copy a few pages of spanish stuff and tack it to my cubicle and i'd be able to study and get back into knowing it...like a page of vocabulary words a page of verb conjugations and page of miscellaneous grammar, etc...with an 8 hour day i'd DEFINITELY fucking know what i had up there by the end...and that's my "out" possibly if i can relearn spanish...well, it's something anyway...

I don't know how you've managed there as long as you have, the ip-relay/trs breakdown into one huge sucky department would have been the end of it for me. I still miss that job the way it was when the ip department was like 2 desks in a corner.

well i was never in trs anyway...i dunno, my few motivations for working there: reading, the nice 10:30-7 schedule, and complete lack of responsibility...of course they're just fucking it all up...the place really seems to be going to hell right now...like, really and not just in its everyday sense...
