      I'm so glad to see you back! I've missed you, and Mistress!

      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.

  2. 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!

  3. Operation GetFired  is not going well.  I must up my SnarkGame.  :)

      Thus far, I’ve tried:

      1. Telling off the biggest boss I could find
      2. threatened to stab my favorite coworker with a plastic spoon
      3. told a client that I’m not Dr. Who and can’t use the Tardis to travel back in time to accommodate their request
      4. told same client that they would need to provide the Oujia board to have the dead person sign the documents that they wanted signed
      5. yelling at the closest supervisor to me
      6. Yelling at email from aforementioned client: “F off, Dickety Dick!” in front of the biggest of the big bosses
      7. Asked another client, “What part of ‘your borrower does not want to do that’ did you knot understand?”
      8. Stood up with the same coworker, blasted “I Will Survive” while singing along and Dancing at our desks
      9. 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 
      10. Sat at my desk and filed my nails while waiting for the computer to catch up to me
      11. used my cellphone at my desk in full view of everyone
      12. walked across the office with my dress tucked in my underwear – granted that was a mistake but …
      13. deliberately did not dress up on “visitor day”

      Honestly, just reading this is one of the funniest experiences I’ve had this month.

  4. preparing to face Day 1 of Holiday Basketball tournament 2010. Must remember not to smack down idiots.

      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!

      *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. :P

      That still seems to be two tutu's too many :P

    4. pittwitch

      pittwitch

      Total tutus equals twenty-one. :P New order for prom head piece. Custom made. Curse my hot glue talents.

  12. wrapping, wrapping, wrapping

      ‘Tis Yule. All I want to do is burn a log and drink. All this shopping and pressure to out-gift people is just wearing me out, and I’m on the verge of a revolt.

    3. pittwitch

      pittwitch

      Oh, I’m drinking alright.  Believe it or not, most of the gifts are for the nieces & nephews.  I can’t wrap MarineBoy’s yet – his sister doesn’t know he’s coming home.  :)

       

  13. :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:

      FairySlayer

      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? ;)

    2. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Oohh, I like the way you think, FS!

    3. pittwitch

      pittwitch

      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!

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

      I wonder...if plagiarists got smacked over the head by a two by four, would they wise up? Or would our attempts to beat some sense into them be futile against their extremely thick skulls? :P

      If we’ve run out, it might be because some of my readers were hogging it again.

  17. Never realized my writing skills would boil down to helping TinyDancer write fellowship applications ...

      Desiderius Price

      One page?  What’s the size of a page?  Use columns, and… reduce that font size...everybody should be able to read 1pt fonts! :)

  18. 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. :D

    1. JayDee

      JayDee

      I like slug racing. The pace is slower but the competitors really put their all into it.

    2. sumeragichan

      sumeragichan

      Formula 1 racing is racing.... Nascar is going around in circles. XD SEC college sports are more interesting to watch. XD

    3. pittwitch

      pittwitch

      My drivers are mostly on the mental level of slugs, Jay. :D Jem, hon: asphalt is for parking lots. Dirt's for racin'.

  19. 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?

    1. JayDee

      JayDee

      Nah. You'll get a single lemon ice cone and like it :P

      Lemon ice sounds about right, JayDee!

  20. 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!

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I'd go with flattered, but spank him anyway. Just because.

    2. JayDee

      JayDee

      Fruits? It's 'turkey' stuffing time :D Then spanking!

  21. Fell down the Tiktok FF/book binding rabbit hole last night.  SMH.  What is wrong with people?

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      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.

    2. pittwitch

      pittwitch

      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.

       

       

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      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.

  22. If I hear one more person praising 50 Shades of blah, ugh. I dunno. Just don't know about these folks.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Throw glitter on them.

    2. pittwitch

      They'd like that too much.

      consider the sources and move on. It's how i keep my sanity...

  23. has fifty FIFTY pounds of potatoes but my kid can't see the bag ... good grief.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      If you put a game controller on it, it would magically become visible. :D

    2. BoredStraight

      you could feed a lot of Irish people with fifty pounds of potatoes :)
