Miscellany
Jul. 17th, 2006 06:13 pmAlas, Ikvar has yet to respond to the email I sent him. Perhaps he was a figment of my imagination after all...
In other news, I once more encountered the reality of communication being a very important thing that rarely ever happens in workplaces. For example, if someone had sent me an email telling me that my group certificate was waiting to be picked up from the bursar’s office, where I would have to sign it out, then I would have gone and done so. Amazing but true. Alas, this didn’t happen and I was left to sit around, twiddling my thumbs while I wondered where the hell my group certificate was so I could get on with my tax return.
I seem to be plagued with bursars of the incompetent variety, I'm afraid. Well, at least this one hasn’t cost me twelve hundred dollars yet...
In happier news, a very short story of mine is online at AntiSF. It’s not my best story, but it’s very very short and comes packaged with nine other stories of similar shortness which I haven’t read yet. So if you feel like having a look, ’tis here.
