Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Meanwhile, I am sitting in a conference room having an unproductive meeting, and someone just called into the conference room phone system.
"Sorry, you have a wrong number."
"No, I don't."
You almost have to admire her chutzpah.
Dana, I was, but my dang work ethic intervened. I should have done it anyway! There's another editor on this team who's much more engaged than I am; I'm really not needed at all.
Crowbar, Zen!
"Oops -- my call dropped, and then I couldn't get back in! So sorry."
Crowbar, Zen!

Don't tempt me. Lying and deception are totally compatible with my system. They're built-in. I could hang up the phone and I'd still be connected to the webex conference. Wonder if anyone would notice. "I could hear you but no one could hear me! I don't know what happened!"
We are now using acronyms I've never heard of before. No one cares about the fonts, Debbie!
Can I make a living writing sleazy porn?
I know someone who paid for grad school writing fetish porn for Amazon...
I do too. Probably the same person. Though given the internet, who knows?
Last night a local bookstore had an erotica slam (people reading their favorite sexy bits, either from books or their own). Haven't heard how it went.
There is so much smoke in the air from the fires that there is heavy haze between my office building and the freeway barely two miles away. The mountains five miles away are invisible. There is noticeable haze between me and the end of the parking lot. It'll be the end of the weekend before we see a change.
