LJ, I would ask you where the last month has gone, but I know where the last month has gone: into the copyediting void. I took a freelance gig for my old boss, which ate up all my time and brainpower (but paid well, so)--and now that I'm done, I'm all, boooorn freeeee, as free as the wind bloooows. I can do WHATEVER I WANT ( Read more... )

Okay, new theory: if it's Friday, and it's seventy degrees and sunny, and you're hungry, and you haven't messed anything up all morning, and you're an intern and you're not getting paid anyway, you should get to go home early. Right? Who's with me ( Read more... )

I have an interview! For an internship! In LA! It's with a production company that, in and of itself, I've never heard of--but they have some kind of association with Radar Pictures, which seems to have released every movie my junior-high self ever loved. I mean: The Cutting Edge! COME ON! I interview Tuesday, after which all my part-time working- ( Read more... )

- At work, my only current task is to read for YA anthology selections; I'm using the time to (mostly legitimately) read Prep, which I figure is not YA lit exactly, but is about YAs and therefore fair game. I'm almost halfway through, and mostly loving it, though I wouldn't say I love Lee Fiora and her self-sabotaging ways. Reading it, I sometimes ( Read more... )

True story: Meeting notes are deceptively hard. Especially when the meeting is between State and the Brits, and we say things like, "Your efforts at teaching English without cultural appropriation are cute, but WE seek to engage diplomatically and with a distinctly American viewpoint," and they THEY say things like, "Great, American douchebags.

I got stuck in my neighborhood this morning, mid-commute, and was almost almost three hours late to work because of a bomb scare at the big mosque on Mass Ave.: I spent half an hour going a half-mile on the bus, then got kicked off the bus, walked down the closed part of Mass Ave. and found that pedestrians weren't allowed to cross the bridge at ( Read more... )
