mindsplinters: (glasses and books)
So 2 internship positions came up at work for the scheduling and reconciliation department. I put my name in, sent my resume. Found out today that I'm not getting an interview for it. But, you know, I shouldn't have let myself get excited over the possibility. Even if I'm damn qualified for it, there were only 2 slots and I haven't even been in my current position for a year so... Yeah, and 35 applicants. Hm. Anyway...

17) The Book of Vices: A Collection of Classic Immoral Tales edited by Robert J Hutchinson - Not keeping it but it was an interesting conglomeration of bits and bobs. I can't say I follow some of the logic in classifying some of the choices as one vice or another but you get what you get. At the very least, it got me reading a bit of various authors I've yet to get around to sampling fully - Jane Austen, Seneca, Moliere, etc. It also reminded me that I actually own Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure and should read it someday... Not just let it function as a nifty floating bookshelf.

18) The Science of Sherlock Holmes: From Baskerville Hall to the Valley of Fear, the Real Forensics Behind the Great Detective's Greatest Cases by E J Wagner - Sooo much fun. Not quite as much Holmes as you'd think but definitely worth a read. A really fun take on the history of forensics and with more depth than most "layman" books have, this one is a keeper.
