silveradeptWoot, huzzah, one midterm down, one assignment to be completed over the break, others to think about, but to celebrate the beginning of the break, I had a drink at one of the local pubs. And now I'm relaxing, very chill and very ready to be off for a week. Huzzah, huzzah.
There's some interesting signs - today a report in the UK says that, contrary to popular thought, librarians are really stressed out. Mostly because, I would think, we're increasingly being seen as relics of time gone by and not utilized to our proper potential. Nobody wants to go through a Master's program only to find out everyone thinks it's all on the Internet and everthing on the Internet is true.
On the subject of most stressed profession, though, I bow in deference to secondary school teachers. They've got it worse than librarians, and in groups of thirty at a time.
Two types of music for your ears to consider and your eyes to think about, the first is an instrument you play without touching, the second, a music box that you can't control. An AntiPod, if you will.
Yet more voting irregularities regarding the last election - some votes had their timestamps nearly two weeks before the day of the election. Voter fraud, stealing an election, and all the rest of the thigns being done - isn't there enough evidence to at leats put forward articles of impeachment, even if the party-controlled government won't actually convict?
Last bit tonight i a thing that I find very interesting - someone discussing the existence of Mu-lacra, things that don't exist but have entered the consciousness and been documented as if they did (Hammerspace is an example of a Mu-lacra - doesn't exist, but does exist because enough people talk about it like it does.) One notes that there are fascinating possibilities to this idea - capturing botht the known knowledge and the unknown knowledge of a community using one or another technique will certainly give you a more complete picture to hand to your descendents. Which could be good or bad, depending on how you think about it.
That's all from me - bedtime is upon us.
