About 4am I was awake and obsessing about the upcoming book sale at the VCF. We have 20 boxes of books which are just in the order they were collected over the past year. But on Thursday when we “load in” to our tables at the Festival, we will want to put things in some kind of order, and it will be a pain to try to organize a nice display starting from no order at all. In the pre-dawn mulling I figured out a scheme. At 8am I went down to FOPAL to implement it.
I went through all 20 boxes of books and reorganized them into boxes by large categories: PC for everything relating to Windows and MSDOS; MAC for everything Apple; HR for stuff related to hardware design other than windows PCs; SR for everything related to software other than Windows and Mac — programming in BASIC, Fortran, etc, computer design, etc.
This took about 3 hours. In the course of which I lifted and carried 50 boxes: 20+ lifted and carried out to the patio, 20+ repacked boxes carried back in.
Another thing I was mulling at 4 was, the need to send an email of orientation to the 8 other volunteers who have signed up to help with the VCF sale. I composed that and sent it to Janette and Frank to proofread. This VCF thing is just about all I am thinking about this week. Be glad when it’s over.
