The new girl I hired two days ago? Did not show up for work today. Awesome.

At about five minutes to nine, I had a bad feeling, so I very calmly put on the kettle, made myself a fortifying cup of Earl Grey, and checked my voicemail. Sure enough, she quit. By phone message. For the win. I am so glad I busted my ass training her.

Ugh. I had a ridiculously stressful day at work today. Plus, it’s so hot outside that when I got home, it felt like the air in my apartment had died. A slow, oxygen deprived death. Yuck. I plan on drinking too many blood orange coolers and writing office fic until I’m too buzzed to notice that my elbows are sweating.

Here's a lame mini-comment, because I'm too brain dead to offer anything else. Cut for boring-ness:

Floyd is moving to Cleveland. I ( Read more... )

Does anyone know the name of a Korean drinking game where 15 people sit around in a room and yell in unison for 8 hours? Because my neighbours are playing it right now. With all the windows open. Like they do every Friday night ( Read more... )

I got called into work (new job!) last night and sadly, I missed the recent Hey Ocean! show. But through the magic of the internet, I offer free downloads of their EP.  Fun, funky, light hearted. You won't be sorry. And it's free!

As for the new job, I think I'm in love. I was sewing up holes in a latex body suit so that when they set the stunt man ( Read more... )
