Off the Cliff

Was going to go pick up a library hold on Saturday but I wanted to finish the current Flavia Albia first and by the time I'd done that it was doing the March version of snow, which is more like hail, bouncing off the study roof, so fine, will get it Monday. Was going to go out for coffee Sunday but bouncing white pellets again and didn't want to wear boots and anyway St Patrick's day is not a time to be out and about. So I spent the day indoors and ordered Chinese delivery. The dumplings were lovely but my 'shrimp and cashews in bird's nest' was 'some shrimp and a lot of broccoli' with the bird nest in a separate bag. I mean, healthy yes, but they don't have a shrimp and broccoli dish on the menu. Must assume they ran out of cashews.

Anyway, got out today after the bouncing white pellets stopped and returned book and got book and determined that the outage had somehow rendered all the copy machines unusable. Not merely can't print from the wrb but can't copy at all. Which probably has to do with paying from your library card and not in cash because the outage targeted users and staff info, but is still a pain. (You can give them cash to put on your library card so I can't see why you can't just give them cash for the copier: but maybe the copier is also on the library's network which is only about 90% restored.)
