*That's* better.

I had a long, self-indulgent (I keep wanting to say "lazy", because that's the usual association with lengthy physical self-indulgence) morning at the gym; headed out when cattitude did, stopped briefly at the bank, and I think spent at least two and a quarter hours at the gym. I did all my exercises [well, almost all: no yoga tree, no lateral raises], in a pleasantly calm environment (fewer people than recent mornings; do New Year's resolutions wear off that fast?).

After exercising, I went down to Chinatown for the lunch I'd been craving since Monday: sweet ginger duck at Excellent Dumpling, with plenty of hot tea. I tipped a bit extra and wished them a happy new year on my way out.

Then I went to LinuxWorld, at the Javits Center. I picked up some tschotschke's--including two keyrings, a pen or three, and a hat--and some software I might even use, and let a Sun salesman tell me about their cool Linux installation/administration software. It does look like a nice piece of software, though of course the demo involves pre-loaded fake data and no actual install; it's not something I have any actual use for, however.

I came home to cheerful LJ comments, a nice note from rysmiel (whose new journal subtitle amused me, so I sent a note saying so), and a message asking if I would be interested in doing proofreading work for a new publication being produced by my former employer. I spoke briefly with my ex-manager, who suggested me for this, then looked at the new magazine's Website, and tomorrow morning's project is to send an appropriate resume and cover letter.

This new magazine wouldn't be "Queue", would it? Looked interesting ...
