And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Even though my link shows more than 13 states where it isn't illegal, this seems to agree with my link: [link]

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

I am having a hella day.

First, I got a company watch from the ethics office for outstanding service dealing with and solving a foreign travel issue involving all sorts of intellectual property messiness.

Second, I got e's from my editor and old agent that my book is "fantastic" and needs no major edits and that it is universally loved.

Third, I just got an awesome (and rare) plug from the awesomest of science blogs, Cosmic Variance.

My apartment should burn down at any moment to return my karma to normal.

No, no, no. You are on the verge of something called "success." Soon you'll be talking to the media and getting your picture taken for magazines and doing more radio interviews. People will dig your Allysonosity and you'll get paid for it.

It happens. Else, we'd have nothing to read in People.

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

You have had a hell of a day, Allyson.

I managed to get out of assisting due to increased good health on the part of the lead assistance. Which was great, because I really need to polish my form and consistency before having others try and emulate it.

Meanwhile I find myself fantasising about formatting my next project status report. I have some really neat ideas.

Please god, someone send me a life.

See, this doesn't sound at all lame.

What sounds normative to you, Ms. Marcontell, is far from the baseline. I say that with all affection and specifically cite you personally as an outlier.

ita's also a weirdo.

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

See, the one I sent out today had collapsible sections, but I sent them out expanded because every time I've sent something out with collapsed sections, someone's gotten confused.

Tabbed! I can make it tabbed! Then they'll totally know the other sections are there, but I can easily make it bite-sized for management to digest.

Thank you, Plei.

Also, I redid my toenails. I think they're pretty.

Sadly, my plans to go to bed early are voided. I just need to get to the end of the Nip/Tuck ep, and then I'll sleep. So almost there.

And we have an 8am meeting tomorrow morning.

I'd really like a life.

I'm on the verge of something called success! Soon, everyone will know about you and lori and the gun! And then you can play you in the movie! But in the movie, you can tumblesault into the dining room with the gun.

Go team success!

Except, not me. I'm going to take my migrainey, arthritic self to bed and maybe feel a little sorry for myself.
