Some temps, even temps who are here covering me for a couple of days, are fantastic. Some are terrible but at least harmless.
Some temps touch all my stuff. I mean, presumably all of them do, but some do it with seeming malice aforethought. SHE TOUCHED EVERYTHING. She moved my tissue box. Why would you move a tissue box? I mean, it's easy to move back, I'm not intrinsically upset about the tissue box, but I'm baffled as to why one would move it. She also didn't sort the mail, at all, ever, just piled full mail bins on top of one another behind my desk. That's five days of mail I just sorted. I did get new pants while I was gone, which is nice, but for some reason she decided my personal mail should go on the floor under my desk.
She twisted my phone cords. That's nearly impossible to do unless you have some kind of evil intent or really unfortunate compulsive tic. Again, I don't care about the cords actually being twisted, they untwist easily enough, but why would you do that? Why make life more difficult for yourself and everyone around you?
ARGH.
On a much happier note, I was just tipped me off that Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin -- which, again, did not write*, just love, because parts of it are like reading a fanfic about my own life -- has been turned into a podfic and ebook. I'm kind of super excited to see how they audiobooked that particular style of story.
* I do happen to be aware of who did write it, and I know said person is tickled pink by all this...

Catalogue shopping is a HUGE part of American culture, recently replaced with website shopping. I'm kind of surprised Australia isn't more into it, given the size of your country and the relative isolation of a good deal of its residents.
I actually, to my shame, have a bookmark file on my work computer of my favourite places to buy clothes, along with a second file of clothes I'd like to eventually buy.

Now that I have been to America & know my US size, I have shipped over some clothes from there (from a few vintage-style websites) and they have fitted perfectly.
