Rain Avoidance Tactic #1
I'm trying to avoid the necessary smokes-and-cola run for a little while (it's raining like buggery out there) so here's the news.
I have until Sunday night to get myself back on a halfway decent sleeping schedule, because I have registration with two agencies on Monday. Oh, and one on Tuesday. Not that I've heard much from the agencies since the initial flurry, but at least they know I exist and I won't be panicking about that for another month anyway. If it's approaching Christmas and I still have not seen work, then I'll panic. I've got enough on my plate as it is, what with the whole being ill thing.
Speaking of, that damn barium meal thing is scheduled for next week. Since they couldn't shove a camera down my throat, they're going to dump me full of pseudo-minty-tasting yick and take pictures from the outside, which of course isn't going to show much in the way of inflammation but what're you gonna do? Well, I suppose what I'm going to do is hope like hell that the barium meal isn't anywhere near as bad as the endoscopy was.
Then there's the CbN thing. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really not sure why I bother checking that site anymore. I keep getting thestral coming up to me and saying, "Hey, we should just RP whatever characters we want and never mind not having a board..." or "So were you thinking of applying to any other boards? Let me know so we can play together" or bitching out the mods or what have you for not taking charge and making immediate decisions or I don't know what all; I tend not to pay attention. I mean, I'd tell him I'm on-again-off-again running some CbN-ish stuff for any of the old players who are remotely interested in keeping their characters running, but I don't really want to tell him that. Actually, I don't want to make a big deal of it at all, as this really is just a small thing and no attempt whatsoever to poach players or make any comment on what the old Mage STs are doing. This is just me not wanting to lose a good dynamic. So anyway, the people who actually know it's running are few and far between. I'm also not telling thestral about the new London board, because not only do I know how he talks about mods who don't behave exactly how he wants them to behind their backs, but I've heard stories about his dealings with mods and some of his previous attempts at characters and, seriously, no. If by some chance I do wind up staffing CbN in its new incarnation (highly doubtful, given that it's been weeks since I offered and have not as yet heard jack), I'll deal with the little toe-rag. But ... well, I have no wish to deal with that my first time as a lead and solo admin. I mean, it may happen anyway, but I don't have to invite it with all due foresight.
Beyond that, not much is new. I really need to get back to work on the NaNo; the problem I'm finding with short stories is that ... well, I care less. Or maybe it's the being ill. My knees are still pain incarnate and I'm exhausted and/or suffering insomnia, sometimes in combination, at the weirdest times. I just want the whole thing to stop now, please.
