I'm trying to decide if I feel awful enough to go home early.
If you mailed in your bigass document, then I say yes it's time to go home.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amazing news, Dana! Good on you.
I would love to like that wasabi pop, but no, looks like hell on ice to me. But if that could cleanse my palate, damn, that would cleanse my palate.
I just browsed classifieds while waiting on breakfast and I really think I need to move. It seems I could be paying significantly less in my area. But now is sucky time to move, what with incipient job change and all that. Humph.

Yep. Somewhat. Or it might be a good time to move while you still have a job and income on paper?

The first draft was 77 pages! Which I guess doesn't seem like a lot? I don't even know anymore.
Anyway, the problem with going home early is that I would have to get up and walk to the subway. I'll have to get up eventually, but I'm trying to put it off for as long as possible.

I don't know if I want to take the hit in moving costs right now, though.
I need to step away from latimes.com. It always makes apartments seem so much more attractive than in real life.
Please send a rescue squad. Someone's inviting me to be catty and I just don't want to. That's a cry for help, isn't it?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My professional opinion is that it's definitely a lot.

Yes, that is a lot. If one of my writers sent me a 77 page document to edit, I would stare unbelievingly at the monitor. But that's because I'm not lucky enough to have shrift as one of my writers. No, my writers are people I want to smack on the nose with the style guide.
Every so often, when I'm stuck in horrible work meetings, I fantasize about what my job would be like if I had ita as a project manager, shrift as a writer, and Plei as the content build queen. Then I sigh wistfully, because I know my team, while pretty awesome, will never be that awesome.

I am aware of all internet traditions (with dirty language).
Perhaps the best cake ever. I mean, come on. Just the mottling alone!

Oh, good. And that didn't even include a bunch of stuff that I need to add later.
And no leaving early. Now have project I must finish by Friday afternoon in order to get full bonus.
Money money money.
