Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Allyson, could you arrange to borrow a neighbor's? Since they'd be in-calls, it wouldn't cost the neighbor much, and since the call is scheduled, it would be easy to arrange in advance.
FWIW, Interview Guru Guy strongly advised against cellphone-interviews for the same reason as your publicist.
Can you borrow one from a friend?
Use your lifeline, paperdol!
I'd have to leave work to do that, though. The HR person suggested that I could use the server room phone, and just lock it.
But I'd have to be extra stealthy, even with a sign on the door they'd knock and go, "oh, there's a sign, let me read it out loud and yell inside and ask when she'll be done."
Or, I could be exaggerating. Unsure.
Probably not. DAMN YOU, SCIENTISTS!
Maybe you could use the humor of the interruptions to publicize your next book about the humor of herding scientists?
Okay. I'm going to stop freaking about it, because it's possible that no one will want to interview me, and so I'm not going to have a heart attack about unhatched chickens.
I'm glad your work people are on board, even if some of them might barge in cluelessly anyway.
If they do burst in and interrupt your radio interview, you can always say to the interviewer, "The title of my next book will be, 'Will the Scientists Please Fuck Off?: How I Restrain Myself From Killing Anyone Wearing a Lab Coat."
OMTG - I just found a fairly major issue in our issue tracker that I though twas fixed in May and WAS NOT and has been sitting assign ed to me. I thought it was a different item in there - GUH!!
So now I get to write up a mea culpa and try to explain how 6 live sites all have the same issue. Oh and beg for some developer time to fix it.
AWESOME.
Now if the waves of pain and nausea could just well up again - it'd be a perfect day.
I loved that song as a young child. But it wasn't until I read Hec's bubblegum pop book that I realized it was about oral sex.
Oh dear, I must have missed that chapter. Oh well, another little bit of childhood innocence gone the way of the dodo.
Yeah, when I was a kid I didn't know what "Bungle in the Jungle" was about either....
