Mikiesboy Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 opusculum noun | oh-PUSK-yuh-lum Definition : a minor work (as of literature) — usually used in plural Opusculum—which is often used in its plural form opuscula—comes from Latin, where it serves as the diminutive form of the noun opus, meaning "work." In English, opus can refer to any literary or artistic work, though it often specifically refers to a musical piece. Being a diminutive of opus, opusculum logically refers to a short or minor work. Unlike its more famous relation, however, opusculum is most often used for literary works. The Latin plural of opus is opera, which gave us (via Italian) the word we know for a musical production consisting primarily of vocal pieces performed with orchestral accompaniment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kitt Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 Open Rant I get ONE day a week off (sometimes). I understand when an emergency happens getting a phone call or text outside of "normal" business hours. I also understand that "normal hours" on a farm are earlier than what most think normal. But does one particular coworker, who knows Tuesdays are supposed to be my day off, really HAVE to text me before the sun comes up asking for paperwork I subbmitted three days ago? Can she not actually LOOK at her email to see if it's there before waking me? OK, so I reply that I already sent them, she answers to please send a test email to ensure my stuff to her is not going into spam. Ok, I get out of bed, fire up the computer, and open my email program. Send her an email saying ok, I am now awake and at my computer. Sent an email to the other recipient of the paperwork in question asking if he got them. Get a reply from him saying yeah he got it. (Used email rather than text as it would not wake him if he were not up yet). NOW I get a text back saying "OOPS sorry, the papers are here" REALLY???? End Rant Good morning all! Hope your days go better than mine has started! 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, Spring snowstorms are common in Colorado and nothing to be shocked about, but we went a few years without and everyone seems to have forgotten. Plus, we have a hell of a lot of transplants who are clueless. However, I can certainly do without a repeat of the recent Bomb Cyclone. Good news is that my windshield is replaced. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to this area and the sometimes persistent rains. When people think "California" they don't realize that our winters and springs here are punctuated by atmospheric river events. I live in the far northern portion of the state. San Francisco is Central, not Northern California. The university students here are often surprised when it rains, hard, for a week. Hey, to me it's just great writing weather. Glad your windshield is fixed up. And we can hope you avoid another Bomb Cyclone. 😳 Edited April 9, 2019 by Wayne Gray 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacGreg Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 sean had a wild hair and bought Mozzarella N' Marinara flavored Ruffles potato chips, which I'm currently munching on for lunch.

Brayon Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 At the stroke of midnight April 9th/10th to the stroke of midnight 10/11th, I'm 90% sure I'll be offline. I'm going to attempt to take the day off. No school, no GA, no Writing, no Watching Kiddos... just me, by myself, chilling, and HOCKEY. Having said that... my email will be on, so if you shoot me an email, or a PM, I'll respond. 🙂 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
