Enjoying my birthday gifts today. The digital photos change every thirty minutes and are cheery to look at at work. And the new head phones have amazing sound, clear, clean, and immersive. Great for teams calls, and listening to music to and from and at work. And, the speaker phone device works for phone calls and for audio books. Also music at home.

My phone - however - now has about ten different devices connected to it via blue tooth...so if there's a down-side that's it. I also bought a towel rack with a very strong adhesive that I was able to attach to a shower wall without any drilling. (It won't get wet - the shower doesn't spray water that far.) New bath mat doesn't slip and it doesn't show crud. (Old one was uncomfortable and slipped - I fell out of the shower using that one and scared myself half to death.)

Flirted with a new management opening that moscow-co-worker sent me. It's the manager of his department. ( Read more... )

On the reading front? Now that I've finished The Botanist's Assistant, decided to go back to the Kindle/E-books - mainly because they are easier to read on subways. The print can be made larger. It has a back light.
And it's compact and easy to carry. Also much easier to hold.

I need to stop buying hard back and paperback books that take up space. Don't I?

So, I flirted again with What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher, but think I'll probably read the easier, Inheritance by Illona Andrews (which is self-published and shorter - it started out as an online blog novella).
Not that T Kingfisher isn't easy to read for the most part, they are, but they've also created their own language for the book - and no. Just no.
I spend enough time deciphering Engineering slang, along with various industry acronyms, don't need to be deciphering a made up language in a book (or a non-made up one - I honestly don't know which it is.).

Yawn, off to bed, to try the new cervical neck pillow aka Cloud Align Pillow that I grabbed from Amazon.
