Is there anything else you can do to make work more workable, smonster? Like the Panera work-at-home fix?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Like go sit somewhere and work so I'm around people? Yes, potentially. I need wi fi and I hate to spend even a couple of bucks on a drink, but at least I'd be earning money instead of hating myself for "slacking". I wish I'd thought of that logic this weekend.
There's a reason I did a very high percentage of my college work in coffeeshops.

smonster, library. public colleges should have some open floors of the library to the public, but sometimes they lock down their wifi.

smonster, library.
I was thinking that would be too quiet (I napped in the library on a regular basis in college) but I can listen to podcasts on my headphones. I have books to return anyway, and it says they have wi fi... worth a shot.
See, I even needed help thinking that part through. Duh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah well, the libraries I've been in have not been too quiet. you may need to choose your part in the library. the lobby area may have more hustle and bustle than an upstairs room.

There's a fine balance between "too quiet" and "bedlam".
God, I have $70 for the next week and am out of cat and dog food. Plus, next week's paycheck is going to be tiny, most likely under $300 (again, I have money in savings, I'm just trying desperately not to dip into it for basics).
Okay, heading out to bank and then library.

smonster, that so uncool that your boss's hangover impacts your paycheck. Ugh. Can you do admin work today to get some hours in?
Teppy, UGGGHHHH. I hope that it goes OK. Are you feeling better?

Nora, that's what I needed to do today and this weekend, and that's why I'm so frustrated with myself. Finally at library, let's see if I can get in at least a solid 90 minutes of work.
