crazy!work is crazy. cranky!cat is cranky.

[glasmalerei]

The cat being me, the work being work. Although it was very amusing to walk into work this morning and have both boss and co-worker immediately turn to me and yell, in stereo, "GO HOME!" (as I was here late last night closing and trying to make headway in the crazy. In no small part due to that, we had all of the OMG AHHHH ASAP jobs done and out of here by 10am this morning. Go me!)

However, it is still moderately crazy, we're doing record breaking amounts of work this month, it's only Wednesday (srsly, I could have sworn yesterday was wed and today would be thurs, but NooooOOOoo!) and I'm tired and cranky and unmotivated. This calls for retail therapy, naturally.

.....Other people buy video games or movies or clothes or stuff. I buy books.

Alibris.com is a dangerous dangerous place. It totally enables my bibliophile tendencies. A 12 step program and intervention might be in order. x_x

....My available bookshelf space - of which there really isn't that much given how many books I already have - is being rapidly eaten by reference books. They're seriously starting to give the formerly entirely sci-fi/fantasy collection a run for their money.

I need to organize the things and put them on separate shelves. The foreign language reference and dictionaries. The art books. The history (political) books. The history (society) books. The psych books. The science books. The WWI books. The random books you never knew you might need (pre-industrial farming. first aid and field medicine. the first boy scout's handbook. hospital procedure. wounds. weapons. etc.)

My book collection is turning into an ecclectic writer's reference library. O.o
