Sometimes I stumble into fics from other peoples’ bookmarks lists on AO3 and think to myself ‘what a bunch of charming asshole weirdos.’ The Dawn Will Break Before You, by thepartyresponsible “Okay, heartbreaker,” he says, “how much to put the tires back on the car?” Jason rolls his eyes and gestures at him with the […]
Yesterday afternoon I wound up in a very long meeting, at which my presence was necessary for perhaps 10 minutes. (Which is fine. Sometimes it’s good to be minimally involved.) But it’s standard in my workplace to bring your computer with you to meetings (in case you need to look something up, of course! definitely […]
More Guardian re-watch ramblings! *I think I appreciated the camping trip arc more the second time, possibly because I didn’t have to pay attention to the plot and could focus on other things. (*Such as the knowledge that the ONE and ONLY time Shen Wei would wear jeans and a parka was truly deserving of […]
Any time I go back to work after a long weekend, my brain has mixed feelings about it. 1/3 of brain: ‘Yeah, I can do this — I will exchange my time and effort for money! Back on that work week schedule, aww yeah!’ 1/3 of brain: ‘Remember, work has free coffee.’ 1/3 of brain: […]

I’ve mentioned before that my workplace has internet filters that block AO3 access (why???). Personally, I don’t see why I’m allowed to access tumblr but not AO3, but it’s not like they asked me about it. ANYWAY! It was mentioned to me (thanks, starandrea!) that perhaps an incognito tab would resolve this issue. AND IT […]
Re-watched the web novelist episode last night. Things that confuse me: *None of them have cases on their phones?! *So, the web novelist — Zhu Jiu appears to have been manipulating the situation for some time, but for what purpose? Not that the deaths of some random people we never hear about again aren’t of […]
Last week I got free-lunch Friday for the meet-and-greet interview, which sure was a thing. The interviewee was in their FOURTH HOUR of interviews by that point, and my main impression of them was that they were very tired of it all. But! Also hanging on to patience and tact with impressive determination. The BEST […]
