Month: April 2012

I tried taking my computer with me and working in the backyard again today, but I wasn’t fooling anybody. One of the first things I did this morning was turn the heat in the house back on, which leads me to suspect that, at this point, April is just toying with us. (Cruelest month indeed! Weather-wise, it’s just kind of a dick.)

I spent most of the day indoors, looking up reviewers for a book I’m working on and sitting through a training session (via web and phone — thank you, technology!) for a purchasing card I’m supposed to be getting at work, to cover mostly travel expenses. (I have a meeting next week with an author in Danubry, Connecticut, for instance.) It wasn’t freezing or anything, but it was definitely nothing like last Tuesday, when I spent the whole day out in the yard and even got a little sunburned.

It’s back to the office tomorrow, though.

It was a cold and rainy day here, a far cry from what it was just a week ago.

But my boss baked me cookies. Ostensibly, they were a belated gift for my birthday, something she does for everyone in the group, but I think she just enjoys baking. The cookies were actually really good, and I shared them with the rest of the group, my fellow development editors.

I’m home again tomorrow, which is nice, although I have a training session I need to attend (via phone and web) around 10. So there shall be no slacking off, even if the weather improves.
