I'm sitting on the floor cross-legged in front of my heater with my laptop perched on my knees.  I CANNOT GET WARM.  I don't know if this is a sign of some impending doomsday illness that is about to strike me on Day Two of my Brutal Self-Defense Course (which would be awesome) or if The Academy really is Hell and it's finally frozen over.  Either ( Read more... )

And the winner for this week's Priceless Exchange Award goes to....

A strapping young team member of the male persuasion is awkwardly attempting to insert a faulty chair into the work dumpster.  His equally strapping workmate -- also of the male persuasion -- looks on.

Dragons: *flies past on Gracie, screeches to a halt*  Oh, for the love of PETE, ( Read more... )

What the hell...?

I missed my bus this morning, which meant I also missed my train, which meant I was late to work.  Then when I actually GOT there, I had a nose bleed.  WTF?  The Dragons has never had a nose bleed in her entire life that wasn't the direct result of being punched in the face by JD.  And then I ripped half my fingernail off my left ( Read more... )

A very belated thank you to all the flisties who participated and put forward suggestions in the procuring of a show name for horse!Sam. He is now officially Rocksalt Sam for the purposes of the show ring. I flirted very closely with Toothflash and Salt Gun Sam, but when the Monkeys polled the electorate, Rocksalt won by a landslide.

You guys ( Read more... )

 
You know what I am addicted to right now?  Caramel buds.  And I HATE caramel things.

Go figure.

Anyhoo, I is off to Melbourne tomorrow for the Store Manager’s Conference of Doom.

Over the next few days, I am likely to engage in the following:

• Shitting my pants about the plane flights
• Lots of pursed lips, raised eyebrows, nodding and looking ( Read more... )

I’ve been trying to track down some team building exercises to boost morale at my store.  My guys think it’s a bang-up idea to lock everyone into the shop after hours and get some back-slapping action happening.  So after a quick review of sites such as this:

I threw the following store specific ( Read more... )

For all you SPN flisties, the multi-chap is officially underway after a hard day of racing a MONKEY  writing.  Getting started on a full outline tonight.  Should be finalized tomorrow night, work and time permitting.

I’ve spent pretty much a week piss-farting about the edges of this story, waiting for shit to congeal or something.  And then, voila ( Read more... )

OMFG - I have to post something, just so that schmoopfest isn’t the last thing I posted anymore.  *is disgusted with her Dragons self*

My 2IC is a strange person.  I call her Lozenge instead of her real name because it amuses me, and she doesn’t mind.  I asked her once.  I said: “Lozenge, do you mind if I call you Lozenge?”  And she tilted her head ( Read more... )

And in late breaking news, I reallyreallyreally don’t want to go back to work tomorrow.  The Dragons is feeling very flat, and partially voiceless.  Several well-meaning commentators have pointed out that the Dragons is sounding very sexy at the moment.

These people clearly have a toad!kink.

My one day weekend has been, alas, short.  But I ( Read more... )

I can’t believe it’s 11:00pm on Sunday night. I don’t know how that happened. One minute it was Thursday and I was sending a text message to JD saying ‘I can has weekend yet?’ and then here I am about to go back to work.

Ho-? Wha-?

I know I wrote a fic in there somewhere. I know because I can see it, just below this post. And I musta drunk a lotta ( Read more... )
