Include a long day at work, an 8 to 8 shift, helping to cover for a scheduling snafu. First day back from vaca is going to be a fun one.

Paged by supervisor a little after 3 a.m. last night to help a down site. Still awake, but my eyes don't want to stay open.

Over on the plus side, however, I sent an email off to The Knight Agency to participate in their Book in a Nutshell competition. As I discussed it with spiziks, it can't hurt my chances of finding representation for Only The Dead. ( Read more... )

Today is turning into one of those days where you want to just shout at the people you work with and the people on the phone because they're stupid stupid stupid and lazy lazy lazy. And give them a good slap!!!!!!!

Made it to Georgia. And I see that secritcrush made it to England safely now that I'm connected to the internet again. So weekend travels were attempted and successfully completed, though Chance had further to go ( Read more... )

A quick post to get my fingers typing so I can start writing today.

The following was supervisor approved, but even so it bodes for a strange holiday season ( Read more... )

I'm wiped out. And apparently I was in a similar state yesterday when I made my convoluted post about writing being an addiction. Functiong on 2.5 hours sleep right now after a long and unsatisfactory work emergency last night that kept me up until 4:30. Woke to the alarm at 7 sharp to get Melissa and Abby up, get tea made, and see them off to ( Read more... )

The flights back from Elko weren't as exhausting as the ones out. Probably because there were only two rather than three, I was coming home, and I was flying east rather than west. I'm still a little behind, despite attempting to remain on EST while I was in Nevada and waking around 5 a.m. PST. Technically, if I'd wanted to keep my body clock ( Read more... )

I start work tomorrow on the Elko paper's dummy and editorial update. Plan on spending most of today recovering from yesterday's travel and the time change. Re-read a manual, again. Iron clothes for tomorrow ( Read more... )
