Yet again, amberfox rescued my lost ass when I went the wrong way looking for the bart station.

work/out

Today my cussing at work reached an unprecedented high: there were several instances of me replying "No shit" to an interviewer telling me that they were not getting numbers. Eleven hours, all told. I sat at the big desk, the better to keep an eye on my phone goons.

The job didn't close.

Things I never thought I'd have to ask my phone goons: "You do know that there's popcorn in your hair, right?" It looked like the Mustachioed Slacker decided to relieve some of his boredom by decorating iPod Guy. iPod Guy had not known this. He was on a survey at the time. I have a great new draft of a cartoon of this one.

The chiller was chilling away merrily when I got home. Thank goodness.

Darkside and I had a nice long conversation. Nothing of great import, just warm words and giggling. I like those conversations. Then I called [livejournal.com profile] amberfox and we chatted. She pointed out that popcorn on the guy's head was nothing compared to the very left-over leftovers.

Thalia still not back. I miss hanging out with the spr0t crew.

As a reward to myself for not completely fucking losing it today, I went and worked out for a half-hour. Then I indulged in the guilty pleasure of continuing for the five-minute cooldown, and then went another half-hour and cooldown. Last night I painted my nails. I can't justify staying up later to re-do them, but I can have a nice happy shower.

Talked with Darkside for 45 minutes. Indeed, work/geeking seems to be the best topics of conversation. He keeps me at least a little in the industry; I help keep him sane.

A Wind from the South is now on my warm little hard drive. I bought a second copy, so the copy in [livejournal.com profile] amberfox's Gmail is entirely legal & 100% piracy-free!

Darkside is concerned about me being sick. I guess he's not used to dealing with me this sick on a regular basis. I'm not, anymore. I've gone from 80% miserable to only 20% at the moment, and I intend to get back in bed and spend the rest of the night asleep and dreaming the strange but productive and repetitive dreams about packaging up sinus drainage and getting it out of my way. I can feel that it's not a serious illness, that all I need to do is rest and let my body take care of itself. Meanwhile, dishes aren't getting done...

... just plain exhausted. I wonder if I will be able to make it in to work this morning later on.

Amberfox was kind enough to give me geek perspective in the form of "No, your palmtop doesn't need wireless or camera."
azurelunatic: The LJ pencil,  (pencil)
[livejournal.com profile] sionainn go out with [livejournal.com profile] iroshi? Straight chick + bi chick = mass confusion. So probably not.
2) When did you last call [livejournal.com profile] chorus_of_chaos? Not sure if it was within the last year, actually...
3) Is [livejournal.com profile] tygerr a nerd? I'd more precisely call him a geek. This is a good thing.
4) What planet should [livejournal.com profile] chorus_of_chaos be from? Somewhere with a lot of moons.
5) Where was [livejournal.com profile] atalantapendrag born? Earth.
6) Did [livejournal.com profile] hcolleen break up with you? She'd have had to date me first for that.
7) Would you set up [livejournal.com profile] sithjawa and [livejournal.com profile] boojum? No. But [livejournal.com profile] boojum set up [livejournal.com profile] sithjawa and me, does that count?
8) What would [livejournal.com profile] trickofthedark give [livejournal.com profile] deeahblita for his/her birthday? Some delightfully drawn porn.

10) Is [livejournal.com profile] norabombay single? Definitely.
11) Would [livejournal.com profile] kellinator and [livejournal.com profile] chorus_of_chaos look good together? Dunno. I don't think there'd be a great meeting of the minds there, though.
12) Would you ever date [livejournal.com profile] wibbble? Not right now. And only if his wife approved. ;-P
13) How long have you known [livejournal.com profile] mamadeb? Since I was in my teens, actually. [livejournal.com profile] lmbujold's e-mail list is a great place.

15) Has [livejournal.com profile] atalantapendrag dyed their hair? Probably.
16) What do you disagree with [livejournal.com profile] tsjafo about? We haven't actually had very many in-depth conversations, but I'd imagine there might be places, especially politically, where we'd agree on a principle and disagree on implementation.
17) What comic book character would [livejournal.com profile] elysianmusings be? A superhero ballet teacher? Do they draw such women?
18) Do you have [livejournal.com profile] smmc's screenname? Sure do.

25) Is [livejournal.com profile] thette popular? Hulda, or at least Hulda's bread, is. Yay fen! Yay game!

27) Where did you first meet [livejournal.com profile] raranax? At Grandma's. That was the visit where I sat on the cactus.
28) Would you wrestle [livejournal.com profile] silmarian in jello? Perhaps. I'm not sure his wife's as comfortable with me as she was, and I'm not sure how Darkside would take it.
29) Do you think [livejournal.com profile] elorie is hot? Haven't met her. Can't say.
30) What animal should [livejournal.com profile] popefelix be combined with? Perhaps a ferret or a lemur.

45) Would you make out with [livejournal.com profile] boojum? You should have asked me this before she got married.

(Couldn't sleep. Lungs have decided that breathing is optional, but goo is necessary. So I'm sitting upright until the antihistamines kick in, which should be soon, with any luck.)

After Cute Geek Super cracked into Comic Pirate Super's hotmail account, he started pestering other people for their e-mail addresses so he could crack into different services. He pestered me for mine. I was willing to give out my Hotmail screen name, but not my Yahoo one. And I was adamant on the subject, even though I know that he wouldn't have done more than just go in and announce, "Ta-Da! I'm in!" to the whole group.

Really, it would have been less personal if he'd been pestering to see me naked.

Cute Geek Super really isn't used to someone remaining adamant on anything when he turns on the charm. He's got a decent Mind Whammy on him. I was impressed, but didn't tell him that. Somehow the esoteric does not tend to turn up as a topic of general discussion in the bullpen, though my religion is fair game. (Somehow, even with all the random ethnic and other background diversity going around, I'm still the odd one out, because all the rest look to be part of the Mainstream US TV Culture. Also, I keep the esoteric fairly firmly out of discussions of my religion, though I have indicated that my particular way of doing things has about the same success rate as your standard mainstream prayer. That is to say, you generally have to be looking for it, and some people would say 100%, and some people would say, not at all.)

I indicated to Cute Geek Super that my geek friend who'd refused to help him out may well have been at the computer in the 24 hours following the night partying with co-workers, and had likely checked her e-mail, but whether she'd logged on to "the message board" was something completely different. (Am NOT indicating to him that it's LJ, or even a blog. He'd pry, and that might not be good.) He pouted extensively, but wanted to know if that meant others would be willing to help. I laughed.

I pointed out to Cute Geek Super that honestly, he was more of a cracker than I was. Given that it's a very non-geek workplace, that caused much hooting and hollering. Ordinarily, that's not something that your standard-issue Anglo girl says to your standard-issue Hispanic guy. It was the straight line that led to a hierarchy of crackers being brought up -- first Cute Geek Super, then Rev. Nice Super (Black), then Clone Name Super (Asian), and finally Comic Pirate Super (Anglo).

Rev. Nice Super's contribution to the entire day was the line, "I'm going to take your mother out for a seafood dinner -- and never call her again!" This was applied liberally throughout the day to every imaginable situation and setup. Naturally, when Cute Geek Super said that if my geek chick friend in Texas wasn't into the idea of going out for dinner with him, then she could go with Rev. Nice Super, Rev. Nice Super's commentary on that involved never calling [livejournal.com profile] amberfox again.

Ahh, work. How we love thee. How utterly psychotic thou art.

(Do my lungs want to let me go back to sleep now?)

Hey, [livejournal.com profile] amberfox, Cute Geek Super is now attempting to be a man-ho in exchange for craxx0r favors.

My lungs are mad at me for laughing so hard.

He wants to be sure that y'all know that this (the request for craxx0r help, the bribery) is all meant in good fun.
azurelunatic: Large LJ user head with 6 smaller LJ user heads inside.  (multiple user)
[livejournal.com profile] ralmathon and [livejournal.com profile] sithjawa should be introduced, just on principle.
[livejournal.com profile] ralmathon wants to make sure he doesn't have to beat the stuffing out of Figment.
Figment and [livejournal.com profile] sithjawa could probably destroy the universe.
[livejournal.com profile] iroshi and Figment need to meet, just like [livejournal.com profile] iroshi and Darkside need to meet.
[livejournal.com profile] ralmathon and [livejournal.com profile] iroshi will get around to meeting sooner or later.
Dawn needs to meet Figment.
Figment needs to meet Darkside, lest the universe explode or implode. Or maybe that's if they meet, it will... ?
[livejournal.com profile] sithjawa and Darkside will probably want to talk campaign together.
Dawn and [livejournal.com profile] sithjawa are actually in the same state, and would have met except things were on fire.

... and that's not even factoring in the fact that [livejournal.com profile] amberfox and [livejournal.com profile] shywickedpixie should probably do some meeting of people too.

Figment says that I need to make my friends wear name tags when I talk about them. I threatened to ask them to take pictures of their hairstyles so I could put little post-its with all the things on the pictures. (Figment displays more of the traits common to the autistic spectrum than I do, but less so than [livejournal.com profile] iroshi; now that he's identified that he's somewhat face-blind and does tag people by not-face first, we joke about this a good deal.)
