Pastry, pastry everywhere, but not a sod to eat
So far MONDAYnish has been anything but.
The server was down over the weekend, so hundreds of emails and calls awaited. One guy was incredibly irate, and because I had received a lot of these calls was jovial and flippant, which did not go down well - and was berated by him for half an hour. The server was back up by twenty past nine, but students ( Read more... ) -

How not to write email
Was in a mood at work, and getting an email about after-work shenanigans, just went a bit nuts - here is the result:

That sinking feeling
So I've got a hit from a job app - and talking to the people it sounds rather exiting, and despite being in a field I am not top-notch confident in, is right up my alley of interest.

it is funny how this job ranges from complete boredom to sudden furious activity - yet never in a predictable or processable pace.

Problem: Playing a Character, Not Dots
So I've got this restriction on one of my characters. Because of his rather radical beliefs and morality, it costs him a spendable trait whenever he posts over a email list. Because our local game is somewhat restricted on gaining these spendable traits, I get one post per month unless I spend downtime actions (per additional post) to get said ( Read more... ) -
Shannon's Birthday, Yet It Is I Who Cellebrate!
So because of tight money issues, everything for Shannon's birthday was left to the last minute, and on the day itself I ran around town with my pathetic government serve trying to make it stretch to all that I needed to get for her big three oh. I had just settled on the present for her, and was stopped chatting to a friend at Caffiends before ( Read more... ) -
Rejections, the funk, and werewolf fiction.
So I've been having trouble when it comes to writing these damn job applications lately. I've written a lot, and I'm getting better and better at them - but I've sort of hit a wall, and it's been almost a week and I haven't been able to scramble over it ( Read more... ) -
