So Much For That

It's the end of the month, I should be closing, that was all today was about. But, boss is out sick. Normally, this wouldn't matter, but they upgraded our inventory control software last month, and because the system sucks, I can't generate my own reports yet. Boss needs to do it from his office. So, no boss, no reports, no closing. So now, I can't even start till Monday.

Random McRant: there's a local heating company that runs radio adverts. They have a guy doing the worst English accent I have EVER heard. Nails down a chalkboard bad. So bad I actually turn the radio off when it comes on. GAH!

Just had to share that :)

(think I should flag this post as explicit adult content?)

Like I'll Ever Get Any Writing Done!

One of the problems when I'm setting to write something historical, is that I get sucked into the wonderful world of research. So much so, I never actually get around to writing anything [g]

Just a smattering of the places I've found:

British Women's Novels: A Reading List, 1775-1818

Regency Style Year-by-Year

Women & Power in Alta California

Early Modern Woman Database

Spanish Surname Practices

California Wildflower Index

A few minutes later: [wheezes from laughter] Death Rode a Pinto Pony (scroll down a wee bit)

And more later: bought this CD. I've been to a few Alta California dances, complete with period dress, and had a blast. Discovering there was a CD of the music was awesome!
