I just got back from our 'beginning of year barbecue' which was actually a really good time, even if being a social butterfly is still tiring for me. (I also spent a chunk of the afternoon making further progress in my library, so we should be able to finish putting it together tomorrow after meetings. Yay.)
- My new minion and her girlfriend moved this weekend, only to discover a major mold problem that requires them finding a somewhere else to be. (They are not direly in need of somewhere tonight or this week, but do want to find somewhere soon rather than later.)
They prefer south Minneapolis, are fairly open as to specific neighborhood and other details, and they're both professional types (minion is working on her MLIS, her girlfriend is a lawyer working for the state.) They were looking at renting something small-house-sized, but are open to duplex, etc. etc. (They're looking to buy in a year or two, but not yet.)
- Moment of amusement: her girlfriend is a Wellesley alum, who started the last year I was a student. We had mutual geekiness over the VAX systems, as all good Wellesleyites of our generation should.
- I got to have nice chats with all sorts of people. Yay people.
- I'm about to go make a post to LJ (because scrapbook works over there to make this easy) with photos of my library. You can view the gallery here: http://pics.livejournal.com/jenett/gallery/0001zy12 (It's currently public, but because of one piece of info in an image, I'm going to take it to LJ friends lock in a week or so.)
