Ugh. I need a few days at home. Stupid lack of vacation while on vacation, and getting home Dunday night only to leave again Monday! I did my work emails last night so it wouldn't be a huge thi g to face this morning, but even with that and with realizing this flight wasnt until 230, I still didn't get anything done this morning and feel like I left the house a wreck. And I'm back late Tuesday night and leave again on Thursday. I hate traveling on Fridays. Grr.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Jesse.

Because books.
Just...I've seen what the dark side looks like, and I want to save you from the Sith?
Five points for creativity there.
I'm trying to convince the other people in my family that we do not have too many books, we just don't have enough shelves. I mean, duh.

Oh, old job, I thought I had quit you. There's nothing quite so motivating as having no one to ask when trying to remember the right tables for a query.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sending you much love, Jesse.
Distractions needed? We went to see the Endeavour today. It was pretty impressive.

It feels like very little from over here, but I'm glad we can be present for you over the internet, Jesse.
Oh, wow, I love those coffee portraits a lot! Gorgeous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shit! I just disappeared for an hour and a half, apparently. Intern gave me some screens to grammar check.
90 minutes later...thank god I did some stuff before the boss asked for it. How behind would I be now? This wasn't on my list!
Seriously, it's not just that English isn't his first language so he mightn't be the right fit--one screen had Username user name and User Name on it. The buttons change from Next on the first two screens to Continue on the rest. There's nothing on the slides that would even begin to...
Who writes their email address as 'tiringita@gmail.com'? A developer, clearly. But I can tell it's a string without delimiters!
Shit. Where was my list of stuff I was actually to do today?

OH! I have outrage not associated with the job.

Why would you do that bullshit? Tumblr and Wordpress too yesterday?
Let's see what raising it to B&N's attention might do.

What the heck? If you want to do online role playing then more power to you, but the comments for a serious book is not the place.

I almost feel like I recognize that tactic. Not specifically for book reviews but just invasive off-topic cat-related shenanigans. From back in the 90s, which would be some impressive staying power for a virtual anarchist collective.
