I took a half day today to go to a plastic surgeon about some moles. My primary care doctor referred me and said one might need to be biopsied, but the plastic surgeon said there was no way it was cancerous. Of course, that's good news, but the whole appointment turned out to be a waste of time and $25 (copay) because insurance won't cover mole removal for cosmetic reasons. The doctor was nice, but he said the rules had changed in the last few years and since I didn't want to spend $300+, we parted ways. I did make a point of telling him how nice his office receptionist was, because as I've said before, it's my experience that so often doctor's office staff is rude.Then I came home and instead of working on my paper, I wasted time on the internet and then got some things done: I folded towels, vacuumed the downstairs, washed dishes, went over my bank statement and balanced my checkbook. After Sweetie got home, I made us dinner of whole wheat shells with mushrooms, spinach and garlic cooked in olive oil. Good stuff to do, but still no schoolwork which continues to hang over me.The systems librarian interview was interesting and fun, but we didn't really talk about that much technical stuff. For one thing, they don't have a systems librarian (they're trying to hire one). We talked to the library director and another librarian who is somewhat "tech-ie." My research partner doesn't seem worried about how we'll write the paper and she seems like a really dedicated student so hopefully, it will work out. You know me, I always obsess about these things while not doing any work on them. So, goal for tonight: read over my notes and goal for tomorrow night: attempt to write a paragraph or two. [EDIT: Well, it's late. Maybe I'll wait till tomorrow to go over the notes too.]Watching: We've been on a video hiatus for a while, but the last two Saturdays, we rented movies, both of which I really liked:Scoop (2006) starring Scarlett Johannson, Hugh Jackman, Woody Allen and Ian McShane. I really enjoy Woody Allen movies except for hostile phase ("Deconstructing Harry" really depressed me. And Sweetie and I skipped "Celebrity.") and this one was great fun.Kissing Jessica Stein (2001) starring Jessica Westfeldt and Heather Juergensen. This was a real Miss Rachel movie: women, homosexuality, New York City, a Jewish family, sex and even a conversation about lipstick - what's not to love?Labels: library science, life at home, school, watching posted by Miss Rachel 10/02/2007 07:41:00 PM . . .
