Some things
Jun. 13th, 2012 04:34 pmThings that have cheered me up today:
1) I pre-ordered the newest Mercedes Lackey Valdemar book
2) A girl on one of my knitting forums finally got her lung transplant over the weekend
3) The thread supporting her now has a big Hawkeye gif at the top to watch over her
4) Between the work that AO3 have done and me getting RSS feeds of my favourite tags working so that I can link directly to fics, AO3 is usable again
5) My Amazon order for the Blue Ray player plus a bunch of DVDs has shipped so it should be with me early next week
Things that are making me unhappy today:
1) After four weeks of comments on my weight (too low), my appearance (too skinny), and my appetite (too small), Mum decided that the portion of shepherd's pie that I felt comfortable with last night was too much even though she didn't want any more so my portion wasn’t shorting her and it was finishing up a half spoonful that would have been too small for left-overs. WTF Mum?
2) I have to change the shade of blue on my new reports, after going with that colour for two months
3) A colleague went on holiday and nobody can find four of the files we were supposed to be promoting for him and although I was elected vacation-cover consultant for his project, he didn't tell me anything about those four files. ETA: he failed to mention that the four files needed to be created but apparently they do WTEF?
4) Mum apparently gets indigestion from meat and is urging a meat-free diet for us, despite my dietary issues and need for lots of iron and her idea of a sensible menu plan includes many, many omelettes
Things that I am undecided about:
1) Apparently my brain wants to write a 5+1 things Avengers fic and it is filled with crack. There is glitter. And strippers. And attempt to explain the aforementioned. And that's just Thing 1. Eep. I'm blaming Fahre even though she hasn't actually weighed on it yet.
I'm cautiously thinking that the undecided thing is probably a happy thing because writing it will make me happy. It's been a mixed day. At least I'm not a simmering puddle of rage today. Although my anger-fueled work-out was amazing yesterday. I finally get those film/TV montages you get with angry working out being carthatic and great.

2)It can be a more super-intelligent shade of the colour blue. This could make your report cleverer than most of the senior management and all of the sales department.
3)I sometimes have to find things for people even when they haven't gone on holiday. I find going hunting around the file system/intranet with an open and enquiring mind, rather than trying to use the search function, works best.
4)Nothing wrong with omelettes, they can be the perfect accompaniment to the nice juicy steak (or whatever your preference) that she doesn't have to have with it.
You may have noticed on Fb but I was quite pleased with myself today having pretty much ticked off the second third of my big project by uploading a record to a web service with a bit of SOAP called by VBscript. Just have to implement uploading the other record type, tidy up the loose ends and check for robustness. How hard can it be...

3) We had a message. He really hadn't created the reports and needed us to do it. Let's not discuss what his email before he left indicated. He's going to be lucky to survive when he returns from vacation.
4) We're definitely going to be having some discussions about that kind of arrangement if she's serious *sigh*
How hard can it be...

Date: 2012-06-14 12:06 am (UTC)As for the latest leg of the Blame Fahre 2012 campaign -if the glitter is likely to end up on Clint, while he's oiled, tousled and hanging upside down on a stripper pole... You really don't need my input. ;)

Date: 2012-06-14 01:13 am (UTC)Um, yeah, the glitter is on Clint and there is definitely some mention of stripper poles. The campaign is proceeding nicely :-)
Is adding eyeliner too much, bearing in mind the crack level?

Date: 2012-06-14 12:12 pm (UTC)... *drops an anvil on hormones* Adding eyeliner TO CLINT is never too much. The best crack is the crack that fries braincells at 100 paces. This campaign is progressing excellently - I like being the crack-enabling demon on your shoulder! :D
