IN THE LIFE OF DHU: This week was intense. Supe had reservice duty and X is in london for the next three months, leaving me the sole editorial person available. Picture this: I'm just out of probation (review was the beginning of this month) and now I had to manage 2 shows on my own. It was crazytown! But it's sorta good because it's like the final test you know? To see if I could handle stress. Haha. But yeah, crazy busy and now I'm terribly exhausted. Good thing is nothing major went wrong and I was inspired to continue my Clint/Phil au. So yay? Tell me about your week f-list x
