Random blonde moment.

Those are the words of my co-worker, not me, BTW.
Said co-worker went to grab another bundle of applications from the pigeon holes and came back, grumbling about how someone was hoarding them all because all she had been able to find were three single applications. This surprised myself and Shelley, as there had been a huge amount of work in the mail this morning.
"Did you check the other pigeon holes?" I asked.
Peta went very quiet and went away, returning with a bundle of applications. It seems she had missed the other two, stuffed full, pigeon holes.
We've been ragging her about her lack of eyesight ever since.

I forgot to mention earlier - last night was another productive writing night. I'm within a whisker of finishing Death and the Art..." - I just need to write the coda, and go back and fill out the previous action scenes. Yep, I'm writing action, which is why it's taking me so bloody long; I find I write the bare bones, just enough to get the images in my head onto the screen, and then have to go back and add details, making sure it makes sense without having access to the inside of my head.
So you see, Mel? You being sleepy last night was a good thing. ;)
I'm not sure if I'll have time to get it done tonight - I have karate training 6.30-8.30, but we shall see. I tend to be a bit wired afterwards, so I might need some sit down time before going to bed.
And hopefully the hot water will be back on - my estate agent called back and said she'd try and get it done today. 'Cause a shower after training is kinda necessary, and I don't think they heat the water in the showers at the gym where we train.

Chocolate and stars and bubblebath and stars and snakes and stars and a SNUFFLEUPAGUS! Hee!
*ahem*
Goodluck with the hot water. Hope you can have a shower soon.
Now _that's_ a reaction. ;)
Date: 2003-07-09 09:33 pm (UTC)I thought of the Snuffleupagus because I remember an email where you wished for a small herd of them to trample through your workplace (or something like that), and have been meaning to send him to you ever since.
Can't wait for you to rid the fic - I think you'll appreciate it. And of course, once you've read it, I can post it. ;)
