So, PAX was pretty excellent. I mean, I spent Friday sleep-deprived, Saturday wrestling with cramps, and Sunday being just totally wiped-out because conventions are exhausting, but cool things were afoot, so it was worth it. I've actually gotten good sleep since returning, too, so that's pretty excellent. I'm working on a recap right now ( Read more... )

JESUS CHRIST I need to not let so many days go by between posts. Much TL;DR follows ( Read more... )

So, yeah. After 4 years of quietly grumbling my way through each and every workday, I've been laid off from The Job. I'm one of several people being affected by budget constraints. They made a point of emphasizing multiple times that it's not at all performance-related, and that I'll be eligible for unemployment benefits ( Read more... )

GUESS WHERE I AM! Hint: It's that place where I spend 40 hours of my week, that requires me to get up earlier than I want to in the morning, and where my constant boredom knows no bounds. I've already mentally set a deadline of June 2011 to get the beast that is The Job out of my face, because that will mark 4 years at this place. FOUR YEARS. ( Read more... )

marykae issued a challenge this morning to stop what we're doing, and write about what you'd been doing for the past hour, in a story format. There was a time when I was at least quasi-serious about becoming some type of writer, and that part of my brain must've been firing on all cylinders this morning, because I took that request more seriously than I ( Read more... )

Okay, The Job is simultaneously going well and filling me with RAGE this week ( Read more... )

Hello, internets. I haven't seen much of you in the past 48 hours! Can't say I'm complaining, exactly, but hey, whatever. :)

Short version: wedding shoot was exhausting, but bellybalt and I both survived the experience and came out of it none too worse for wear. After the wedding, I think we lasted through... *maybe* an hour of _fool's house party? And spent a ( Read more... )

Yesterday was EXHAUSTING. It wasn't a *bad* day... just a tiring one. Today, here I am, back at The Job, all because of a meeting that was supposed to happen at 11:30am... of course, it didn't happen until four HOURS later, so my entire afternoon and my evil plans of leaving early have been thrown off. :p ( Read more... )

Not feeling very wordy today. Lots of running around town to various meetings for upcoming weddings, and now I'm kicking it at the ol' coffee shop, telecommuting for The Job. Today's amusing coffee shop patron is the guy at the next table over, working a very '80s pink polo shirt and a *serious* mullet ( Read more... )

So, yes. The fancy annual dinner at The Job last night was about as boring and awkward as I expected it to be. My +1 also had to jump ship at the 11th hour, due to a new job, so I was left to navigate the waters with nothing but my camera at my side, heh. Fortunately, I kept busy taking photos, and there was also a hosted bar, so after three ( Read more... )
