Am I weird to think that sounds good? Of course, I'd spend about half my workday all "How? Why? How?" but talk about non-traditional employment.

When you get the interview (and frankly, you're perfect for it), you can wear something like this simple black dress with a cute jacket like this and you look professional and have two pieces that can be used lots of different ways.
Generally, the Jones Studio pieces at Dress Barn are pretty nice. The fabric isn't as high quality as their other line, also they are generally not lined, but you can find some good pieces.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I like the simple black dress with jacket idea.
and look for a few job hunting seminars - at you local library or chamber of commerce - If nothing else they'll get you back in the ling o - and maybe do some networking or even help you figure out that = yes you are that good

OMG, if Tep became an editor for Ellora's Cave, it would be like the rainbow sprinkles on the not-vanilla cake. HAHAHAHA

Oooh, bookmarked!
I finally made an appointment for tomorrow with my doctor for this stomach pain/other general gastrointestinal nastiness. The IBS meds I do have aren't working (although OTC Immodium works okay), and I'm not sure what else I can try, but I'm hoping the doctor will have some ideas.
Also, I need to talk to her about anti-anxiety meds for the short term, because my baseline level of anxiety is pretty much at a 5 (where 0 is that chill turtle from Finding Nemo, and 10 is nervous breakdown), with frequent spikes to 7 or 8 ("frequent" = 20 times a day).
I'm actually seeing Alternate!Doctor instead of Awesome!Doctor because Awesome!Doctor is booked into next week, which is probably good, because Alternate!Doctor is also pretty awesome and has a fantastic track record with my mom of being willing to prescribe short-term meds for anxiety. (While I love Awesome!Doctor, he's reluctant to prescribe anxiety meds or sleep meds.)

Maybe my upcoming free time will allow me to write a good version of 50 Shades. (But if you write what you know, my book would end up being Geeks With Rope! or Flogged By A Dork.)

The actor who plays the male lead in the fandom I am currently writing smut-fic for has said he's never read the 50 Shades stuff but he would like to be cast as Christian Grey in the movies. I want to tell him, "You wanna be in smut based on smutty, name-changed former fanfic? Man, I've written good smut for you. Be in my smut, I'll change the names from your current character and everything. Shoot, let's see if we can get your female costar to sign on to play opposite you in this, too."
But you know, if I wrote that in a letter and sent it to him, I don't think I'd get a positive response.
