I've been weepy and sad the last couple of days - a friend is going through a really rough time and it strikes a chord within me. I've been there. It brings back all kinds of memories of dealing with my mother's illness and death.

Grr!

Dear Professor So-and-so:

I don't care if your research is really, really important. I'm still not going to commit fraud for you. When I say "That would be against the law," your answer should not be, "So, you're saying you won't help?"

No love,
Me

List format, 'cause I'm kinda hooked...

0. Turned in the first,rough draft of my ds_match fic. And 1/2 of my beta crew says it doesn't suck. Not entirely sure I believe her - la la la la la - but I'm content, for now.

1. Tomorrow is Friday, for which I am eternally grateful. It has been a long week full of frustration at the new financial software. Say it with me: "Grrrr!"

10. Birthday box of glee made it to [livejournal.com profile] sisterofdream. Yays.

11. Got a postcard from [livejournal.com profile] leafy22 from her trip to Amsterdam. Need to scan it and the one from [livejournal.com profile] luzula and post for bragging.

100. [livejournal.com profile] dugrival will not be sleeping on the streets of Boston. \o/!

101. Will start working on drabbles from the drabble meme as soon as I'm done with ds_match, which will be next Tuesday, at the latest. Still a couple of slots left, if you want a drabble...

110. [livejournal.com profile] julia_here has been doing a "due South/C6d" month of goodies at her journal, as well as doing the recs for [livejournal.com profile] crack_van.

111. Flashpoint tonight, for those who have TV.

1000. New comms [livejournal.com profile] lovebindsall and [livejournal.com profile] film_by_fandom.

1001. Still terribly jealous about those who got to go to [livejournal.com profile] can_con2008.

1010. Working on catching up with emails owed, comments owed, responses owed.

1011. [livejournal.com profile] ds_c6d_bigbang gearing up soon!

BERJAYA

*breathes deep*

Below the cut are some writerly-thoughts and some personal-type thoughts.

Are you sure you wanna know more? )

Oh, I'm so freakin' tired.

Someone please remind me why I'm doing this to myself. Or, failing that, smack me in the head. Please.

I'm far, far behind in commenting and/or responding - it's really not that I don't love you. But:
  • [livejournal.com profile] ds_aprilfools - for which I'm about a week behind now. I'll be happy just to get to the end of April...
  • [livejournal.com profile] ds_snippets - oh, how I miss thee.
  • Other writing *waves bye-bye to it*
  • [livejournal.com profile] c6d_weekly
  • Promised to make two cakes (1 chocolate, 1 not) for the April birthdays party at work.
  • Promised to make some desserts for the house mate's open house at her studio on Saturday - speaking of which, if you happened to be near central New Mexico on Saturday, stop by and check out the studio and her glass work. Free food and great company.
  • Promised the house mate that I'd help clean up the yard and the house before the guests arrive on Saturday.
  • There's a slim chance that I might get a visit from the wondrous [livejournal.com profile] slidellra, which is freaking me out. Mostly 'cause I think she's beautiful and cool and neat and her voice...plus she makes really cool icons. Talk about setting high standards. Yikes.
  • Working on filling out a job application and updating my resumé which is freaking me out. Big time.
  • Did make the time yesterday to go to the stylist and get my hair done, which -- it's been almost a year. So, the hair feels good and looks nice...yay me.

    *breathe, breathe, breathe*

    It is now April 23rd. Seven days...

    Well, the last two weeks have been eventful and full of weirdness. I've got a long ramble under the cut, if you're interested...

    RL things you may or may not be interested in )

    When I first got hired at my job, I spent half of my time being an accountant and doing accountant-like things. The other half of the time I was driving a forklift and moving big, heavy things around.

    About two years ago, a new position was created in the office to deal exclusively with the forklifting part of my job. So, the ratio of accounting-to-forklifting dropped to 80-20 or so.

    Are you really interested? )
