1. What sort of alarm wakes you up in the morning?

ME. I'm a light sleeper and a bit of an anxious weirdo.

2. If you can sleep in, how late to you sleep?

9:30 - 10:00 am. It depends on how patient the dog is...

3. What's for breakfast?

Usually just aggravation and an early morning ZOOM meeting.

4. What makes you late to your next big thing? ( Read more... )

It needs to be said: I miss LJ. Pillowfort hasn't quite worked out as I'd hoped (because I'm lazy/old/bad at making new friends - take your pick), though the platform improves steadily. I've had over a decade here and this structure just GETS ME, ya know? Or maybe that's the laziness again ( Read more... )

After a looooooooooong hiatus from making PowerPoint art, I have finished another workplace superhero. This one is my podmate, CEJ, who's been bugging me to finish this since she found out about it. The squeaky wheel an' all... She's so fiery.

MB and I have decided to catch up on Game of Thrones (it turns out we stopped watching somewhere in season 3, so... yeah, see you in November...). Jesus, I forgot how much pointless sex and pontificating there was in it! Whatever... the husband wants dragons, so he gets dragons ( Read more... )

So, I was making changes to a file for a client (and grumbling about it, like you do, because they weren't so picky before they saw how much I could improve their stuff in the first place) and the resulting file folder was too big to email, so I had to use We Transfer to deliver it. I love that file transfer site because it's clean, idiot-proof, ( Read more... )

This LJ Exodus thing is leaving me feeling like...
