Take A Bite out of Crime

. . . and don't steal from your local library (or "liberry," if local = in my general area). Yesterday alone I calculated approximately $500 worth of missing books (several expensive volumes were involved), and I haven't tallied up all the books whose status I've changed to missing.

Other joys du jour include wrangling with my insurance company regarding my claim for the impatient services I had starting December 8. Needless to say, there's quite a sum of money involved. They wanted information about my secondary insurance (because I'm still a student, I'm covered under the family insurance until I turn 25 in April), blah blah blah. The woman I spoke to on the phone assures me that someone will pay the charges, one way or the other.

I started work at the end of a pay period and only had a few hours under my belt when accounting time rolled around, so I got my first paycheck today for somethign in the neighborhood of $68. Yippie! I'm rich!

Reading: still Auschwitz
Listening: still Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (I'll change the CD in my car one of these days)
Current Obsession: how does one go about sneaking a several-thousand page, dictionary-sized volume out of the library, unnoticed?
Alice: will soon have a Chanel collar, thanks to my unbelievably lucrative job.
