Bit of Ivory

What I wanted to do today:

• write fanfiction
• catch up w/ threads at SQ
• chat with people
• get some worx done on my editing job

What I ended up doing:

• worxing for 7 hours at boring job
• reading almost all of The Reptile Room

So I guess worxing wasn’t so bad.

The best thing about tomorrow is that, while I *am* worxing again, I’m *not* doing inventory at 7 in the morning, like most of the rest of my poor coworkers. Am worxing night shift instead. I usually end up having to do the CTR rings, or the teeny pictures, or the greeting cards, which are just *awful* to have to count. But I got out of it, without even asking. Oh, happy day!

Kudos to Arabella and Zsenya for the awesome article in the Baltimore Sun about SQ. Share the Quill love!

Have trimmed my fingernails. Typing speed and accuracy are greatly improved as a result.

Random thought: People who don’t wear contacts– especially rigid gas-permeable contacts– will never understand the sheer pleasure of rubbing one’s eyes after taking out said contacts at the end of a long day.

As it is now after midnight, I must bid a happy birthday both to J.K. Rowling, the mother of the madness, and to Harry Potter, her wonderful creation. Harry’s now caught up with me, and we are both 23 (a prime number!) together, and darn proud of it.

My sister Laura made this wonderful screencap. Don’t steal it, please, unless you ask permission first:

Great look on Sexy Pirate Boy’s face as well. Will definitely be making an icon with *that* one, let me tell you.
