Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Bad Colin!

I'm heading out to try skating for the first time in over 10 years. If I die, I'll know I'm not cut out for Derby.

Because books.

Don't die, Cash!

All kinds of good vibes going out to J, Suzi.

I just called someone a day early for her birthday and insisted I was right. Oops?

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

I'm about to storm his house and work from his poolside. This is pissing me off.

Is he even there? If not, totally storm away! Pools need to be used or, um, they don't feel loved.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you're working from home anyway, I don't see why you wouldn't.

OK, my apartment is now not embarassingly dirty, although it is still a little messy. That can be handled in a minute. I am dripping with sweat and planning a shower.

Fuck it, you know what? I am going over and working from there. I don't know when exactly I'll have to log in and do actual work, but I can watch email from there as well as from here, and I can run my con call from inside his house.

Internet for the win, yeah?

Ugh, this still feels irresponsible. But it's his last weekend in town, and I can work from inside his house.

Dude, that's what the internet is FOR.

Our wings are not tired.

ita, it's not irresponsible in the least. Being on-call means being available if something comes up, it does not mean sitting at home staring at your computer screen on a Sunday (unless it's for fun).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Go for it, ita. As long as the work gets done on schedule, it doesn't matter where you do it.

Just remember to be fully clothed on webcam conference calls, at least from the waist up.

Seriously.
