  • I stopped in the store on the way to work yesterday and explained (with receipt) that the powder compact I'd bought the evening before had evidently rolled out of the bag before I'd even got to my car - and the girl at the customer service desk said I should go ahead and get another one, and all I had to do was bring it to her so she could compare to the receipt and make sure it was the same thing I'd paid for. Hurrah!
  • I bought a cute sweater; the last one they had happened to be my size. Hurrah!
  • I found that my university billing statement included a $205 library fine for a lost item. Boo!
  • They'd apparently notified me in June that this was going to happen and I just wasn't paying attention - my fault - so in fact by now it is a $215 fine because of a $10 late payment that is my own fault. Also boo.
  • The item is not lost; the boss-type I checked it out for has it in her office and I can return it today and get everything but the late payment back. Hurrah!
  • We will also in future change the procedure for assistant-types checking things out for boss-types. Hurrah!
  • I nominated things for Yuletide. Hurrah!
  • I did not watch the debate last night, preferring to get caught up on Downton Abbey and Doctor Who via the tunnel to ITV and BBC's respective streaming players. Hurrah!
  • Not sure how I feel about DA - for those of you who have seen S3e02, you may realize why I say this - but then I'm not sure we're meant to have feelings about that show, beyond "FREE BATES" and similar.
  • OH PONDS. I have a lot of feelings about DW, but you know, most of them are peaceful.
  • It is Monster Cereal season, and I bought quite a lot of Boo Berry and Frankenberry at Wegmans last night. Hurrah!
  • I also discovered that I don't like smoked mozzarella. Ah well.
fox: yuletide:  red fox in the snow (yuletide (by chomiji))
The subject having come up - elsewhere - here is a list, based on my own tagged entries, of the dates I got my assignment in [livejournal.com profile] yuletide in 2004-2010. (I didn't participate in the first or in the most recent yuletide.)

2004: November 9
2005: November 15
2006: November 3
2007: October 21
2008: November 11
2009: November 14
2010: November 22

2012 estimate: early November (assignments having closed October 28)

The deadline for submission has been variable as well, but I believe it has always been in the area of December 19-21. I feel like I remember it once being as early as December 14?, but that's crazy talk, and maybe that was just when I handed it in because I had a plane to catch. December 22 is as late as I can remember non-pinch-hits ever being due.

Juuust saying.
