( Dust to Dust, part two )

I haven't been posting at all lately, for no apparent reason. I mean, I've got stories written, and pictures taken, and other such things, but somehow I always seem to lose my ambition just before posting them.

So, here, finally, I've got a story to post. And it's weird.

Realized earlier that I haven't posted at all this month (!) so I'm attempting to rectify that.

Interestingness at work today:

Note: the janitors usually leave around 11:30 on Sunday.  I went in today at around 11:30.  Our "normal" ('-ish?) janitor had already left, which meant the new guy (been here about a week) was still around somewhere.  Fine, ( Read more... )

A sudden rash of "firsts" today at work:

And we've got this rather stunningly bland outfit in at work, which I found to be so offensively ( Read more... )

Title: Empire Building

Summary:  Byzantines.  Libertines.  In which Justin learns (or not) that two of these things are not the same.

So, to get back to the issue of my nonexistent credit card...

I wrote my bank a whimpery letter about what a good little bank member I am, and also O HAI I HAZ MONEY I CAN HAS CREDIT PLZ?!

And now I have a credit card.

Nice  :-D

So, because I have a very, very messed-up life, I have written a tiny snippet.

(In my mind, these two things are clearly connected.  No guarantee for anyone else.)
