First day at the job again and it was kind of OK. Not too early, not too busy, not too boring, exactly right. Tomorrow I'll be spending it on the site itself, which should be a good opportunity to check some things out and get familiar with them once more. It's been quite a while since I was on the site for a full day, as I spend most of my time in the control room.
When I got home today, one letter from WorldPack was waiting for me. It seems my large (or should I say huge?) order has arrived in Belgium, but is stuck at customs. I tried calling WorldPack to see what steps I need to take in order to get it released to me - probably will include paying for some things - but they had closed for the day by the time I got home. I've sent them a mail and will give them a follow-up call tomorrow or wednesday as I'll be home.
I just hope the taxes ain't too hefty, as the shipping already was quite a serious additional cost. Another order for 6 Hardcover books is being processed in the USA as well, and after several negative replies on requests for one specific title, I finally received one positive answer that new stock should be coming in October 15th and then they'll be dispatched to me.
Sounds positive, but I first have to have those books in my hands before I'll believe it. After all, three other stores advertised online as well that they still carried the book, yet had to admit later on it wasn't available anymore.
Disco Inferno was playing in the background in "Cold Case" on TV, hence the title.

hey there. I'm a NYTimes reporter, just crusing to find some sources for a story I'm writing about how thanksgiving break sucks, particularly for college freshmen and their parents. Everyone's got their expectations and they get pissed off when they're not met. I like your blog. Maybe you or your friends qualify? Nancyhass@nyc.rr.com
