Ugh, I am developing a cold. I'm at the scratchy throat/constant runny nose stage. Just in time for the weekend. Bah ( Read more... )

So I posted my 23K word Finn/Rey road trip epic last night and didn't bother to post it here because I wanted to go to bed and now AO3 is down. So no one can read my story! Arrgh! I had anxiety dreams about it - that I'd left half the story out, or mistagged it, or it was riddled with typos, and therefore got no response whatsoever, but I didn't ( Read more... )

So I left here last night at 8 pm and I was back at my desk this morning at 7:50 am. I would really like this week to be over but unfortunately, I'll have to be here for 8 am tomorrow as well. Sigh. With old boss2 gone, hopefully the culture of 8:30 am meetings will finally die and we can begin at 9 like civilized people ( Read more... )

I met up with L and M for a late lunch/early dinner this afternoon, and it was so nice to talk to people who are really supportive of my writing, even if it is not necessarily their thing. L's been a cheerleader for me since the XMM days (SIXTEEN YEARS JESUS H. CHRIST HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?) despite not being in fandom and M is a published novelist ( Read more... )

Last night when I got home, my cable was out completely, including internet, and the CSR was little help. He seemed convinced the splitter was the problem, but when I finally was able to unhook the connection from outside from the splitter and hook it directly to the modem, there was still no service, so.

I am coming to you live from my new 13" MacBook Pro, which I have decided to name BB-8, because it is small and cute. The old 15" MacBook Pro (aka Alexander III) is a true workhorse of a machine, but I just couldn't deal with the mostly non-working trackpad anymore, or the amount of time it took to open and save files and various other things that ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I notarized some documents for one of my co-workers so she could become a minister in order to officiate at her daughter's wedding (I was going to say "so she could marry her daughter" but I know how you lot would take that), and today she showed me her certificate of ordination (or whatever it's actually called) plus she gets a " ( Read more... )

I forgot to put my phone in my bag this morning and it is making me CRAZY. I mean, I happily go without checking for hours at a time sometimes, but it's the not being able to check, and not being able to text any random thought I want to my usual group of texting partners (and not getting the links to cute puppies and Chris Evans pics on tumblr in ( Read more... )
