There was a thread here at Mudcat where we spoke about our favorite sleuths, and I laid out the argument for the historical philosophical questions involved in the Peters books. I'm not going to try to describe it here, but it has to do with the history of ideas and what was appropriate for the period. If I come across that thread I'll post a link.

I work for a state, so nothing moves quickly. I won't hold my breath waiting for a job title change. If it happens, it happens. If I had to compete for my own job I might be upset, but I suppose after 10 years I've become fairly entrenched in that I'm doing stuff that no one else wants to take the time to do. I suppose it's an odd kind of job security!

Today I have a tidy stack of small clutter that needs to be listed on eBay. I also have to look at the items on that table that didn't sell. Run it again or donate to Goodwill--some stuff won't sell and it isn't worth flogging on eBay more than once. This is where that clutter gene works against me--keep and sell or get rid of it? I think I'll transfer the photo from the eBay file into my "donate" file and send it to the Goodwill.
