So, I guess I should have waited for LJ to pull itself together before posting my story. But people seem to be reading it over at AO3, so I'm not going to worry. In case you missed it, it's here. Alex is shaken after losing Darwin. Erik tries to help him, but he's pretty crap at the whole helping thing.
I have an interview tomorrow morning, and then the rest of the day off. After the interview, I think I'm just going to chill, maybe commandeer a comfy chair at Caribou Coffee and read my book and work on one of my current works-in-progress. And I guess I need to work on this questionnaire thing for jim_and_bones. Usually I have no trouble talking about myself. I love talking about myself. But this is harder than I thought it would be.
Speaking of books, what possessed me to pick up James Joyce again? I think somebody told me "Dubliners" isn't like "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man." And they were right, it isn't. But I don't care about any of these people, and I'm wondering if I should just put it aside in favor of something more fun. Bad English major, no biscuit. I want that notch on my bookshelf, but eurgh. *shakes fist*
Oh, I didn't get the Hamline University job. At least they had the courtesy to tell me, unlike other places. I keep trying to tell myself that that's because I'm going to get a different, better job, but it's disheartening. My co-workers like me. Why doesn't anyone else???
Mmm, I wish I had something chocolatey to drink.
