Writing for myself ... where I started. Feels kinda good.

Thanks! Aine seems to have developed a fondness for a certain Lord Commander. Not a good mix for anyone but her, lol. And me, I guess.

wishing I had a time machine -- so I could take some youngsters back to the days of the card catalog therein demonstrating the ease of the newfangled search functions. Harrumph!

"...and when you're done there, this is really advanced tech called MicroFiche. You look through the screen at blurry text, and cry."
-
Oh, gods, not the MicroFiche! Anything but the knob!!!
-
Great balls of fire - microfiche -- Nooooo! Or the dreaded inter-library loan. Ahhh, the good old days!

Thus far, I’ve tried:
- Telling off the biggest boss I could find
- threatened to stab my favorite coworker with a plastic spoon
- told a client that I’m not Dr. Who and can’t use the Tardis to travel back in time to accommodate their request
- told same client that they would need to provide the Oujia board to have the dead person sign the documents that they wanted signed
- yelling at the closest supervisor to me
- Yelling at email from aforementioned client: “F off, Dickety Dick!” in front of the biggest of the big bosses
- Asked another client, “What part of ‘your borrower does not want to do that’ did you knot understand?”
- Stood up with the same coworker, blasted “I Will Survive” while singing along and Dancing at our desks
- Bit my supervisor’s finger – she had her hand clamped over my mouth when MucketySchmuck was escorting visitors past us on a tour – ruined my perfect window of opportunity
- Sat at my desk and filed my nails while waiting for the computer to catch up to me
- used my cellphone at my desk in full view of everyone
- walked across the office with my dress tucked in my underwear – granted that was a mistake but …
- deliberately did not dress up on “visitor day”
-
Honestly, just reading this is one of the funniest experiences I’ve had this month.

Punch? Bring a small crossbow and aim for the neck!
-
I wish, SK! I hate when I have to score. I can't say anything to anyone but the other scorers, or the referees. Biting my tongue is just so painful! And we're off for day 2!
-
Good luck!

*snicker-snort* PW, are you auditioning for the lead in the Twilight Ballet? I didn't realize you'd finished writing it!
-
I look adorably frazzled when surrounded by half-finished tutus and pounds of rhinestones.
-
...and I now have a mental image of that - in your pitt witch's uniform, no less.

FREEDOM!

Grins and tosses in the colored duct tape - just for fun!

I know you'll do wonderfully, love! But I'll cross everything anyway! Including the elves! ::borrows some colored duct tape::

Good luck!

Yay! I'm glad to hear you're on the mend!

Good that you're better.

TY everyone! Promise to be more careful in the future.

Rhinestones... and glitter everywhere!
-
That still seems to be two tutu's too many
-
Total tutus equals twenty-one. New order for prom head piece. Custom made. Curse my hot glue talents.

:head desk: Repeat as necessary. Gave my personal cell to one driver. ONE to clear something up for him during a family emergency. He's shared it. A lot. :head desk:
-
What a dock! You should be butting his head instead of your innocent desk - better yet, let his head and the desk play that game together.
Want a list of really bad websites to post his number on, to return the favor?
-
Oohh, I like the way you think, FS!
-
LOL -- that is such a good idea. In all honesty, I think he, given his experience with "nice" me is trying to be helpful to some of his compatriots, some of whom are about to meet "NOT at all nice me." Send me a list of those websites though. Just in case. Just in case!

is very angry at people who think they have a "right" to some one else's work. Really, really angry.

MUST remind self that there are loads more people in the world who are EXCITED about the start of racing season than people like me who could really do with a few more weeks.
-
I like slug racing. The pace is slower but the competitors really put their all into it.
-
Formula 1 racing is racing.... Nascar is going around in circles. XD SEC college sports are more interesting to watch. XD
-
My drivers are mostly on the mental level of slugs, Jay. Jem, hon: asphalt is for parking lots. Dirt's for racin'.

Next up - dance picture decisions, then prom, then Kennywood day, graduation, Baccalaureate, recital, Master Classes and then summer VACATION - right, right? There is a vacation, right?

is trying to decide whether to flattered or frightened that the spouse took it upon himself to find my story and read it. He left no review but did corner me and ask me if he could enjoy some fruits of the harvest! YIKES!

Fell down the Tiktok FF/book binding rabbit hole last night. SMH. What is wrong with people?
-
Been reading up… and there’s authors deleting their stories due to the proverbial game of whack-a-mole, which AO3 makes this easier too with PDF downloading. AFAICT, the etsy/book-binding is like charging HUNDRED or more bucks for printed/bound copies of particular fanfictions, acting as the publisher. Yeah, this is pissing the writers off.
-
Rightfully so! I was offended as a reader – you, oh bottom feeders, are jeopardizing our “harmless” entertainment. Go away!
In our defense, downloaded from AFF is not easy. As a writer, I tried with one of my stories to take a red pen to it. NO DICE.
-
Getting high-priced lawyers involved is how you get the new rules around Star Trek fan-films (15 minutes max, no episodes, etc...), or the rights holder goes Anne Rice and prohibits all fanfiction with cease & desist orders. Anybody rich enough to counter with lawsuits is also well off enough to negotiate authorized derivative works, leaving the average fanfic writer high & dry. Hope those bottom feeders suffer from papercuts, lots and lots of vicious papercuts.
