Whoever&#8217;s fault this weird lag between work and my shell account is.<\/p>\n<p>My latest gripe: reserve prices in online auctions.  I used to think these were a good idea, but really, they&#8217;re not.  If you don&#8217;t want to sell it for less than a certain price, START THE AUCTION AT THAT PRICE.  There&#8217;s no point to starting an auction at 9000 yen if the reserve is somewhere over 20000!   One good thing about reserve prices is you can bid and still not be forced to pay.  I bid quite a few times yesterday and since I never did find that magic number that they really wanted, I won&#8217;t win even when the action ends. Actually, it should be done now.  But I feel like I spent a lot of money, so guilt may keep me from spending any more today &#8212; a good thing.  <\/p>\n<p>Which reminds me I was going to put up some auctions today.  I need to get rid of some of the extra junk I have.  (For instance, who really needs 3 effing copies of Slayers?  I&#8217;m still not positive I even need one, but somehow I have 3.5)<\/p>\n<p>Things to do:  2 webpages to make &#8212; Tokyo Babylon 1999 and Hagun Seisenki.  Since I&#8217;m actually in possession of real information on both of these, I feel like I should.  Auctions to put up.  Board meeting minutes to write up.  I have to upload the log of the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Updated my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visi.com\/~mikage\/misc\/clampgakuen.txt\">CLAMP Gakuen stuff<\/a> list. I still keep forgetting to find that other doujinshi and add in the name.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Idiot of the day.
