Other than a short 5 hours at Fry's so as not to lose my health insurance, I've had the past 2.5 days off. I've spent them all in my pajamas. I've been reading a lot, which is epic awesome. I'm attempting to work from home today but, alas, the remote login website is not allowing me to log in. I'm stuck with only email access where I'm exchanging emails of this sort:

me to boss: plz pull back EmployeeX's check. The payroll company shouldn't have cut it as it's the reimbursement for the ARRA COBRA payments.
boss to me: are you talking about a payroll check? I distributed all of them this morning?? [yes, double question marks]
me to boss: Yes, she's a [departmentP] employee. Her check is blank but I'd like the paperwork to submit to the payroll company since this was cut in error.
boss to me: But I distributed all these this morning?? [yes, double question marks again]
me to boss: You should still be able to retrieve it from the manager.
boss to me: Oh. Right. I'll do that.
me: a;ldskjfa;ldfja;jf *did not hit send*

But I'm the moron who can't be trusted with anything to the point that she brought in the Director of HR to oversee the next two weeks even though the Director of HR can't even enroll people in the health insurance let alone do anything unrelated to HR. Thanks for that vote of confidence.

In other non-work related issues, I talked it over with EOC and the awesome idea we have will just not fit within the bounds of the STBB. It's all these disconnected scenes and the BB fic should have some sort of cohesion. The fic simply wouldn't work for the fest with the structure of the fest and my own ideas of said structure. It's just that I was putting all these limitations on myself not that there was anything wrong with the fest.

Thankfully, she agreed with me and, thus, that idea is still being written but not for the STBB. This is, hands down, my favorite idea evah. Now to see if I can pull a 20k fic outta my ass in 15 days so I can still have a submission. I think I can do it :D

Speaking of fic - dude. Where is it? I have all this time off to read fic and there isn't any :(:(:(:(:(:( I've been forced to read books and work-related stuff. This makes me a sad wook.

Speaking of sad - Nala, my shih tsu, is ill. Again. I think her tick fever is back which means lots of expensive testing and medications. Thankfully, the meds are sort of cheap through work but the testing is just a bunch of giant hoops to jump through to get it done. But, that's how we'll be spending our time together. At least this means that she can come into work more often. She enjoys coming in to my job and hanging out and snarling at everyone that comes in to the office (she loves my coworkers but everyone else has to work for her affection).

Is it in poor taste to self-pimp? I just posted a bigass AU Kirk/McCoy fic if you don't mind AUs. It's over 6000 words long. Longest thing I've written so far. You might like it? I dunno, but it's out there. :)

Self-pimp away! I have it open and actually just pinged a friend of mine with "read this. it's awesome" and a link. I'm still formulating a response because right now, it's all flail and squee. a;ldkfj;slj

YAY!

It's probably my sappiest fic as well as being my longest but I wanted to write something cute and romantic and I was feeling so inspired by [livejournal.com profile] smilingskull and her awesome AUs. It was so much fun to write. I was sad to finish it but I'm thinking there could be little vignettes and spin-offs and stuff, 'cause there's room.

There's definitely room. I can totally see them hitting up random news stories and, let's face it, it's LA - there's always going to be awesome news!

Personally, I'd love to see an outtake with them bantering at the scene and then Kirk getting to be all business while Bones makes faces or something from behind the camera. Just seeing htem work together would be brilliant. I just re-read it, again, and I keep adoring it more.

Yeah, definitely scenes like that.

I really want to write something where everyone congregates at Gaila's and they just hang out, banter and drink coffee and Bones has to get used to Jim's shameless public displays of affection and dating a "star" who gets autograph-hunted and papped. It would be the fluffiest thing ever.

I'm really happy you enjoy the fic! It was so much fun to do. I might go out on a limb and say it's probably the best thing I've written to date.

Er, what kind of fic are you looking for? I've been posting recs like a fool lately. :-)

I've read all the kirk/mccoy ones you've recced :(. I might have to branch out into chekov/sulu. I've read quite a few of those but I'll have to see what ones I haven't.

Re: fics, I have a bunch of rec bookmarks on my delicious page (http://delicious.com/grey_sterling/). I have an actual rec site (http://greysterling.com/cupcake/), but there's like 30 fics I haven't had time to put up there yet.

I rec'd one of your fics (I friended your journal so I could be sure to catch any new ones :)), and I have many bookmarked for reading. I'm hoping I have time this weekend. :)

Ooh! Off to check that out.

Eee! Thanks for the rec. I appreciate it!

I hope your sweet dog is feeling better soon, Wook!

my guess is that there's a dearth of fic because it's back-to-school time. I know I have next to no mental energy for fic reading, much less fic-writing...

Hopefully. She's 13 so we're limited in what we can treat her with at this point, which is the only sucky bit.

That's a good point. Plus, there's like 8billion fests so I'm sure that there will come a time that I will be able to consume to my hearts content, once more.

How's work?

I'm following a few things at the Kink Meme but don't have links because I fail.

I'm writing stuff but none of it is post-ready yet. I have some fest stuff to write next, but, hopefully, I can get some stuff that can actually be posted done soon. LOL
