crossover_chickAs in, one coworker is still out of work for medical reasons, and the other coworker had to take a sick day, so it was just me manning the front all day. *wince* It wasn't too bad, fortunately -- the GL took a while, and there was some confusion over somebody's gift that took most of the day to resolve -- just busy and kinda long. It just annoys me that this happened on a day where the weather was actually halfway DECENT -- I kind of wanted to take a walk at lunch, but didn't get the chance since I couldn't really leave my post. And the next few days are supposed to be chilly. At least they're also supposed to be sunny. The weatherpeople around here were saying that Wednesday was going to have snow all last week, so I'm glad they were proven wrong. No snow unless it comes in before I have to go to work and lets me stay home. That's my policy.
Afternoon was pretty productive, at least:
-->Made my muffins, since I'd run out and breakfast is important
-->Wrote some more on Chapter 10 -- currently working on the Mysterious East section, which features tea with the Origami Ants and block puzzles. And Victor accidentally freaking everyone out by admitting he's an entomologist. Cue quite a lot of horrified ants until Victor frantically explains that he doesn't do bug boxes. And then has a guilt attack, which Alice talks him out of. Also more Slithering Ruins, because I'm setting something up to pay off in Chapter 11.
-->Watched Helloween's latest Doom 2016 set -- still mostly about shooting/chainsawing/punching to death all the demons, with little bits of story here and there. I love how the loading screens basically explicitly state Doom Guy doesn't care about the guy offering him help -- he's just here to kill the legions of Hell, kthanxbye. Hells is clearly having a blast zooming through the stages and slaughtering stuff. XD Sometimes, a little demon murder is just what you need!
-->Got two-thirds of my Wednesday Sims post done on tumblr -- though, ah, I also learned about the new community guidelines thing banning all adult content. Which you probably heard about through Dreamwidth's message welcoming anyone bailing ship from tumblr to DW. Yeaaah -- I don't know if MY blog will personally be affected -- my Valice stuff, and the stuff I reblog, is generally safe for work -- but it's kind of. . .not a lot of people are happy, and I don't blame them. I'm not ditching the site yet -- the guidelines don't officially go into effect for a couple of weeks anyway -- but I'll be watching how the situation unfolds, and figuring out what I want to do, particularly if any other nastiness/weirdness comes to light. At least I already have this to fall back on. . .
And that's about it, mainly -- pretty typical Monday. Time to empty out the inbox and hit the sheets. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a (healthy) coworker again. . .night all!
