Things I learned today

1. That the sentence ‘Violet caught a bogey today’ means different things to different people
   
2. That it takes a lot of patience to clarify with a confused old person as to what the hell she’s talking about
   
3. That, sufficiently distracted, I can forget to eat
   
4. That I’ll be picking my boss up from the airport again next Wednesday, and driving her to work (but I did get a petrol voucher so that’s okay)
   
5. That the staff at Christchurch City Libraries get paid time off to attend library school audio-conferences (and I don’t)
