You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess they don't want to ruin their/your credit rating??

I'm thinking it's an attempt to use the card for longer. The lady said it wasn't the first time they've seen that.

I take it it your still single and childless? :) I wish i was sometimes!!! LOL

Oh yeah, she thought it was cute.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh lordy. drama in the office.

senior staff is out the next 2 days. A couple of folks thought it would be fun to watch movies over lunch in the conf room these 2 days. Me? I knew that wouldn't fly when the CEO was here, so I stayed at my desk.

Well, as things go, a contract part-timer who is a friend of the CEO decided to email one of the managers about the movie watching.

I got another employee to go get them out, but it was already done. Now the movie watchers are all pissed off. Emails have come in from the managers (nothing bad really). And contract person is just clueless.

My personal deadline is June 1st, the editor's deadline is July 1st.

Oh, you're clever to have them separate.

I just want the time for a couple of beta reads, so I can tighten things up.

Me! Me! MeMEME!

Um, I mean, there's also the benefit of having some time between the actual writing and the last reading and polishing, right? Some distance from the words as well as the emotions, to look at them a bit more clearly, even with your own eyes?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Okay, I got clarification. "childless" was just a poor word choice. She's gushing about the book and promising to be first in line to buy it. I feel much better now. Man. POOR WORD CHOICE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

POOR WORD CHOICE.

See? You're a writer. You recognise that. She isn't and doesn't and so there nanny nanny boo boo.

Okay, off. I think I've sent all the e-mails and printed all the stuff required.

Well, you're the writer.

Introducing the new member of my extended family, my sister's new puppy, Kasey. At 10 weeks, she's already pretty big, she may turn out to be massive.

Wow, big dog! Is she a golden lab mix?

Nope, she's a purebred Golden Retriever. My sister's other dog's father is from the same breeder and is also very big. (And wide, but that's a whole other thing.)
