LONG day at WORX

September 15th, 2003 · 2 Comments

See, one of my coworkers (the one with the Scottish cousin) fell out of her Jeep on Saturday. *waits for giggling to stop.* Apparently her boot got caught in the seatbelt or something, and her Jeep is one of those high-riding ones, so it’s much worse than it sounds. She fractured her ankle, got a […]

I’m BORED

I finished all the work there was for me to do today in an hour. Two of my three afternoon coworkers are gone today, and the one that’s left doesn’t have me do very much of her stuff. So I’m proofreading applications. Wanna know what you have to do to be a Burglar Alarm Company […]

Perk: I get e-mails from the Governor. Drawback: We make so many copies that I swear my job title should be changed to Tree Killer.

My life is getting too busy. I am going into internet withdrawal–and my friends are going into “Emily’s not on the internet” withdrawal, esp. Rachel, who sent me a haiku about it. I need Ginny BAX, with her wireless network card! Best Buy is sending a box to send her in for repairs. Hopefully I […]

Just got an e-mail from Heidi concerning publication of the Nimbus proceedings. Looks like they will be available through Cafe Press’s new print-on-demand publishing section, so they’ll be readily available to everyone. And I’m sure all of you will be happy to know that the Ship Debate was tape recorded, and a transcript of it […]

So. . .

I just submitted IFL 3 to SQ. I still feel bad about not finishing it, but it simply can’t be helped. Oh, well. Not much that I had planned was all that great, anyway. Congratulations to Kirk, who is Walt Disney Pictures newest paid intern! I knew you could do it. I got my shipment […]

SUCCESS!!

My dad (bless him) managed to put Ginny’s hard drive into his own laptop, and I got most of my data off of it. We’re also making a full backup just in case it comes back from repairs with a wiped hard drive. This means, though, that I can now upload chapter 3 of I […]

Shopping!

September 4th, 2003 · No Comments

I love spending lots of money, particularly when it’s someone else’s. See, my graduation dress accidentally got shrunk, so my mom offered to buy me a new dress for the same amount I paid for the original– which was $90. Can’t find the same one, of course. So we went to Meier and Frank to […]

The temptation is killing me. . .

September 4th, 2003 · No Comments

There is an entirely too delectable-looking donut sitting next to my computer screen. I’ve already eaten one, and my supervisors won’t take ‘no’ for an answer when I argue that it will go straight to my thighs. *sigh* 2 more hours of work. Then I can go home and think about Albus Dumbledore’s family. I […]
