A freak wormhole opened up in space this morning and transported my office to Antarctica. That's the only explanation I can think of for how frelling cold it is in here right now. I'm wearing a sweater and downing hot coffee like it's going out of style, and I still can't stop shivering.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

interaction question. Someone agreed to look over my book, give me feedback possibly a blurb. They mentioned April. All interaction was via e-mail, but they did give their phone number. Is it too naggy to follow up with a phone call?

Periodically go dunk your hands in hot water past your wrists until they get warm. I've found that helps a lot.
Typo, I'd send another email first.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I can't even.
I just realized I forgot my lunch.
Can you reach Teppy's office's fridge from where you are, sarameg?

It is still April, right? (Please say yes). A follow-up email wouldn't be out of order.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If they gave you a phone number without asking you, don't feel too weird about using it.
Today is supposed to be both Krispy Kreme day and free bagel and muffin day. I'm disappointed that the latter hasn't materialised.

Fridays are always Free Bagel Day, but I'm hoping today turns into a cupcake day as well. This week has been a million years long.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The ignorance with which I work....
There a couple of women in our office who are full-fledged scary-ass neo-Cons. There are a bunch of signs up on the freeway that say, "3-Day weekend! Pre-Cinco de Mayo party" or something like that, talking about the HUMUNGOID protest that will be happening downtown on Monday. One of these women, the worst of them in my opinion, was bitching about how she's gonna get home (She has to go by MacArthur Park! @@)on Monday and so she said, "Ya know? At this point? I'll just give up vegetables."

Huh. In our office, today's Leftover Cheap Chinese Take-Out Day. Though I shouldn't complain, as it's better than the expensive Chinese dine-in I had Wednesday night.
