It's all about the numbers. And the speed.

Ever wondered how many queries an agent sees in a year? arcaedia posted her stats here. My eyes began watering in sympathy.

On the printer front, the new printer was finally installed tonight! It had arrived earlier but I'd been waiting for jennifer_dunne to help install it, since it weighs 65 pounds. The print quality is great and the speed is stunning to someone used to a 10-year old inkjet. The print lizards have found perches and are happily sniffing the toner, which is a tad overwhelming in a small space. I'll probably wind up rearranging things so the printer isn't right next to me. But so far so good, and you really can't beat a $299 color laser.

Hard to believe Christmas is less than a week away. My shopping is done, packages mailed, and most (but not all) of the stuff ordered over the internet has arrived or is en route. Still a ton of stuff to finish up at the day job, but with many folks already out on vacation, I'm hoping tomorrow will be a productive day.
