This & That...
So yesterday morning, I was rudely informed that my body had decided to start my period, or as my coworker J2 says "I was gifted". Normally, I don't much care about whether I get my period or not. If I somehow turn up pregnant, y'all need to start with the bomb shelters and shit, because it'll be the Immaculate Conception and the second coming of Christ or Satan, or whoever.... Anyway, so occasionally I'll get crampy, but nothing to write home about. And then I get THOSE months, where I'd just as soon cut my uterus out with a splintery wooden spoon. I honestly thought yesterday morning, it was going to be one of THOSE months, and was taking 2 advil liquigels every 2 hrs at work. But today? Nothing... Now this could be good or bad, but mostly I'll say it's good.
And honestly? The cramps did me a service yesterday because they let me focus on something other than the fact that this year's Customer Service Appreciation week SUCKS. HUGE. HAIRY. RANCID. DONKEY. BALLS. Last year? We got really nice little gifts and treats every day, plus some kind of meal thing. This year? Let's see... Stupid leftover gifts from previous promotions as raffle gifts. I didn't take part in the raffle. I have the stupid world stress ball, the t-shirts won't come in my size, I don't need the rubix cube [1] because I'd already gotten one for getting the first bingo on our team, and the pen? It's one that I think I already have and is crap anyway. Tuesday? We got popcorn and some sixlets. Wednesday? Pancake breakfast [they were okay, but rather tasteless. I much prefer shatterpath's], a recognition certificate from our supervisors [which actually meant a lot to me, even tho' I know all the sups HAD to do them for all the employees. I know my sup and TC appreciate me and what I do for the team], and we were supposed to get our "big gift" from Sprint. Yeah, our "big gift" from Sprint? Which we didn't get yesterday before I left, BTW... Is a fucking foam stress ball in the shape of a star! WTF kind of lame ass shit is that? Last year we got really nice insulated mugs. This year it's this cheap ass ghetto fucking shit that I couldn't give a fuck to have. Asshats!
*sighs* Anyway... We're now up to about 21k words on "Fox and Caracal", which is my NCIS/CSI:M/LWM piece for ncis_bigbang, which will go live on 22nd October. Less than 2 weeks left! I can't wait to see what kind of artwork I get for it. Tho' if I don't, it's okay, as shatterpath has already drawn me a fucking KICKASS picture... I may well use it as a "book cover" kind of graphic, to be totally honest... The story is coming along nicely, and I really can't wait to post it up. I am so fucking in love with my OT4, it's not funny.
I've got to start working out an outline/schedule for the Selkie story for NaNo... I have the physical templates for both of my main characters, but that's it right now. No names, no backgrounds except the redhead is a doctor. And it takes place at Point No Point lighthouse up in Hansville, WA. Perhaps my all time favorite lighthouse in WA now. This one is going for publication when it's finished. I'm not gonna fuck around anymore, and I really want this idea to work out...
And a quick meme gacked from beeej
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now,(even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.
It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.
When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.
[1] this will most likely go to the nephew for Yule, as I have no use for it at home, and if I leave it at work, someone will fucking steal it because nothing is sacred in that place... Tho' if I get the book, I may keep both in the bathroom for when I'm "concentrating"....
