Bleargh!

Working in an office on a Sunday (as opposed to romantically writing freelance in a cafe while having the friendly staff pop by with regular cups of coffee to ask questions that make you sound Incredibly Interesting (I tip well, and our local caff resembles a performance art space half the time)) is a TERRIBLE WASTE OF A SUNDAY.

Though at least I felt morally virtuous in cheering up my friend who was also there, and we were able to have a little sing-along, which was when Security came by to check we were all right ... but who expects office sanity on the weekend?

I have an enormous amount of writing to accomplish in the next nine days. Please feel free to nag. I rate the probability of me finishing it at about 74%. This figure will be revised down to about 52% if it turns out that Sarah Palin actually resigned because of something irresistibly HILARIOUS.

Good luck in finishing your writing! ♥

Good luck with your writing! I know how that feels a little bit. I have a drabble that i promised someone at least a month ago, I have lost my first two rough drafts and am now trying to work on another. Not to mention the fic that I hate and won't write itself.

BTW Do you ever sleep? I have noticed a couple of times that you have posted stuff at like 2am. :D

I don't believe her fingers could be pried off power unless there was something really intersting going on. Surely only a matter fo time till we find out waht it is.

This one is the most coherent-sounding idea yet.

I'm semi-ashamed to say that upon reading that, my first concern was that Spenard might go under if that was so, and that would be a crying shame as they are indeed the leading building supply place.

Yet it's highly believable, if they were being consistent with their practices in Fairbanks -- Dad mentioned to me (upon going out of there with shelf brackets) that due to the Good Ol' Boys' Network, he had paid the contractor rate for the shelf brackets, not the consumer rate, despite his not being a contractor. (Dad built our house himself, but with attention to building codes and safety, and had a large number of home improvement projects, but wasn't in business doing that sort of thing.)

I'm desperately hoping that she's Mark Sanford's secret Argentinean lover. Or that she's really resigning because of a lucrative TV deal... "Sarah & Todd Plus Six," anyone? If that happens, NO ONE will be getting any work done.

I'm convinced Sarah Palin resigned because her son has become pregnant. MPREG is always a good reason to resign, right?

The Republicans can never know.

Good luck on your writing! Ugh, office on a Sunday:(

I want to go to your coffee shop!

*giggles*
Do not let the Republicans distract from writing teh porn, OMG! Where are your priorities, girl? *g*

Seriously, good luck! I'm with you, I have an insane amount to do before Azkatraz and comic-con. *sigh* And I have no odds on how I'll do yet.

I heard she resigned because she wants to run for president in the next election - surely that counts as irresistibly hilarious.

Although, I suppose, not so funny if she actually won.

Love the Palin codicil. I'm hoping that you finish your writing AND that it is something unbearably delicious to feed our Schadenfreude.

Your local cafe sounds marvelous.

which was when Security came by to check we were all right

He probably just felt left out. Should have asked him to join in.

Also, write!

I second the 'bleargh!'. I really did mean to finish that draft and email it to you, but my evening for accomplishing this was eaten by the Hobart drive. Also, I have been laid low by an RTI. *sends you hugs* I'm going to phone you very soon to discuss a visit! XXX
