Deadlines... actually met all of them, for once. o.O;

Phew. ♥ In 24 hours, I'll be driving to the mountains, and to hell with everything else. :)

And actually, coming back next weekend to a batch of brand new Saiyuki fic is going to be the perfect ending to my winter vacation ( Read more... )

I did this meme on eljay back in 2003. It was so funny to read my answers, and because I'm killing time at work trying to figure out how to approach a seemingly unapproachable task, I thought I'd do it again. Here goes! The Seven Deadly Sins meme. *laughs ( Read more... )

Last night's work party, organized on a whim to get smashed after a particularly difficult week, yielded a surprise revelation I was not quite expecting.

I met T at my first job back in 2007 when she came to work with us as a project manager. She didn't really like me at first--didn't dislike me, either, just didn't care either way, and I know ( Read more... )
