If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

This is my last day at my desk so I am furiously cleaning. After this I am officially virtual. It's a work from home free-for-all! For me anyway.

In practice, I'll still probably be in at least two and often three days a week. But it's all up to me me me!

Though it does mean I have to find a home for the two file cabinets full of shoes I keep at the office. So I guess everything has a downside.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I forget that not all corners of the internet are connected through fandom, and that there are vast numbers of people online who never went through RaceFail or any of the subsequent discussions about diversity in genre media.

Which is a very long-winded way of saying, I just had to point out to someone on Goodreads that "shemale" is a derogatory term. Oy.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hivemind - my landlady travels for work, and will be gone for several months. She will not have a local branch of her bank near her, nor a credit union service center. What options are there for me to pay me that don't involve a paper check? Paypal involves fees after a certain level of payments, yes?

Thanks!

I am wearing a red t-shirt and bandanna in my hair, coincidentally.

Can you (or do you want to) set up an autopay?

brenda, that's super exciting! Along with the promotion, more working from home? That's awesome.

smonster, if you two are at the same bank it should be easy to transfer money to her. Not sure how easy it is at different banks, though it should still be possible it might involve fees.

I do not want to set up autopay right now, given that I am unemployed. And we are not at the same credit union. I tried to set up e-pay through my bank, and it requires a 3rd party website (FIS global) which seems annoying, overly complicated, and slightly risky.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I may have just been on the internet too long, but when I read "criminal mischief with cheese" my mind went to much weirder places than just smearing around the loo while drunk.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't mean to sound rude, but it's really up to your landlady to figure out how to get her money accessible to her - not you. I believe the fact that SHE is traveling and not near her banks? Not your problem. You should be able to send a check, or pay as you always have, and let her figure out the rest.


Jesse - Mar 08, 2012 10:09:58 am PST #25801 of 30001
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, how do you pay her now? If cash, you could just deposit it into her account if her bank is local to you.
