China refuses to acknowledge your late shift!

wembley can change in 28 days

00:57 / 30.12.05

Omg. I can't take it. I'm even playing at Chieftain level; what the hell happens when I stop being completely pathetic at Civilization and *really* start losing days to it?

And I'm supposed to be working. Was. Supposed to be. 12 hours ago.

So! Shift it!

Shrug

01:04 / 30.12.05

I haven't done an awful lot of work today either Wembley. Christmas eats my resolve a little too much I think.
Well anyway popping in and out of lateshift as I need to sleep soon lest I lose tomorrow's productivity to late sleeping.
(goodnight)

01:06 / 30.12.05

I think I've already written off tomorrow's productivity. Or who knows, miracles may happen when I start getting all giggly and wonky with lack of sleep. Goodnight!

alas

02:01 / 30.12.05

I am here, who knows for how long. I had some work that hung over into Christmas holidays, which I've finally finished, and so I am actually finally feeling like I need not be productive.

Drinking hot chocolate and having a slice of toast. ymmmm.

I'm at work, with little work to do! And attempting to teach new minions, but having not very much stuff to give them to do... it's a bit weird, to be honest.

We get new minions less often than it seems we do, because it's such a shock when you have to "train" some new kid at all the things you're going to shirk all day. And there's always a terrible, weird vibe around them for at least 2 weeks, because nobody will really get friendly with you until they've seen enough of your work to check that you're gonna be okay...

alas

23:48 / 01.01.06

Stoatie--So, you're at work tonight again, right?

I'm still coming down from the New Year's high. I danced all night to local bands at a friend's house. It was good. Dancing is the best way to bring in the new year, I think.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:19 / 02.01.06

Yes, I'm at work again. The only thing that's making this hangover/comedown bearable is the fact that everyone else has one as well.

alas

00:31 / 02.01.06

I am trying to work on a piece I wrote last year; I want to submit it to a literary journal, but they have a word limit that means I would need to cut it by about 1/3. I re-read it and am at sea--don't know what to do with the thing.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:32 / 02.01.06

Ooh, cutting bits out is always the most painful part.

How was your New Year?

alas

00:34 / 02.01.06

So, it's the writing equivalent of a hangover--I think I'm trying to say.

alas

00:38 / 02.01.06

Obviously I was typing that at the same time you were posting. My new year was grand--I really do love local music, hearing live bands play and dancing...And had a great dinner with some friends I just love. They live in an old church that they've filled full of art and I don't know. And my kids are home and they're just really good people.

Does this sound annoyingly sappy? I am just truly content--apart from this cutting the writing down dilemma. It's kind of terrifying to be so content--seems so unnatural.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:47 / 02.01.06

Nah, content's good.

I may be paying for it now, but New Year was cool- party at a friend's house, with lots of booze and free drugs. And pirate music.

alas

00:51 / 02.01.06

Arrrr! Pirate Music!

It's sounds fabulous. I drank too much and smoked a little, which I do about twice a year. But the hangover was mild and the experience good.

Anything of interest in the papers tonight?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:55 / 02.01.06

Not really... except that the cowboy out of the Village People was apparently a consultant on Brokeback Mountain, which is just perfect.

Tryphena Absent

01:17 / 02.01.06

Yo yo yo. I hope that cowboy was properly qualified.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:25 / 02.01.06

Hey there, Nina. Good new year?

alas

01:26 / 02.01.06

What more qualification does one need, other than singing a top 40 song about the navy while dressed as a cowboy in a country that in 1980 mostly didn't get that they were loving a very campy gay performance piece?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

I'm not entirely sure I'd have trusted that so-called "construction worker" to fix my ceiling, though...

alas

01:36 / 02.01.06

Well, I am tired of working on two projects at once and think I'll head off to bed now. Sweet dreams, kids...

Tryphena Absent

01:39 / 02.01.06

I jumped around a lot in my living room and now my legs feel like jelly everytime I stand up or sit down. It was good!!!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:42 / 02.01.06

Night, alas.

Sekhmet

01:59 / 02.01.06

Alas, I missed alas.

Hello!

Sekhmet

02:21 / 02.01.06

And everyone else, apparently...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:22 / 02.01.06

Oh, I'm still around.

Jack Denfeld

02:57 / 02.01.06

Holla!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:58 / 02.01.06

Jack! How you doing? It's been a while.

Jack Denfeld

03:00 / 02.01.06

I'm doin' ok. Relocated to Florida and just kind of relaxing. How you been?

Jack Denfeld

03:01 / 02.01.06

Every time they play the intro music for this new Star Trek show, I giggle a little bit. It sounds like an 80's sitcom theme song or something.

Sekhmet

03:08 / 02.01.06

Ah, Stoatie dear, it's too late. I've already sunk into a horrid depressive funk over being the least popular Lateshifter.

And it's all your fault.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:09 / 02.01.06

Jesus... there's really no need to add to my post-coke binge guilt...

Sekhmet

03:11 / 02.01.06

Pssh. Pay no mind, I'm just being a bitch. You know I loves ya.

Jack Denfeld

03:13 / 02.01.06

Have I missed any Barbelith stuff in the last couple of months?

Sekhmet

03:18 / 02.01.06

Well, Ganesh and Xoc were all over the tabloids for a week, what with that three-way scandal with Prince Harry (dubbed the Hair Bear Affair by the media).

Other than that, not much.
