Accidental orange retail therapy

[damont]

In my ongoing quest to find decent places to grade papers, I found myself at a local mall today. It had the advantage of bright light, air that was reasonably cool/dry/voluminous/well circulated, and a table at a decent height. Being next to the Starbucks kiosk didn't hurt either. Now please understand that I don't generally shop at this mall; it was unusual to have it on my way from point A to point B. But while wandering in search of a good grading spot, I found a bright orange faceplate that actually fits my cellfone. I'd been looking for one of those for a while; now I have one.

<:-b As a matter of fact, I did get an entire set of papers graded. Would have been more, but I'm cat-sitting for friends and had to leave to check up on said cats. And FWIW, over the course of two weeks at the war I graded two weeks' worth of papers. Just a helluva lot more slowly than I'd have liked -- especially when it got **SO** cold it became a major challenge just to stick my hand out from under my cloak to move the mouse or hit a key -- that being the same morning you came into Troll with reports of frost and looking like you were going to break into 97.38 pieces at the slightest provocation...
