So, where I work in the afternoons, I don't finish till 5, which means after it gets dark. I'm the only person in the building with most of the lights turned off, in an okay-but-not-great area of the city every day for about an hour. Also, the building makes weird noises. I've been totally fine with it for months now, until tonight, when I find out at 4 that I have to hang around and wait for some electricians who will be here some time before 8, but no idea when.

(on a sidenote - what kind of business account includes oh, an afternoon appointment is some time between 1 and 8? who works till 8pm on a regular basis?!)

Anyway - I'm freaking out being here alone, even though it's not even 6 and I know I'm perfectly safe. And at some point I have to go, alone with two strangers, to a building with no heat, no light and no power, to watch them plug in four fuses so I can power up the buidling again.

Welcome to my glamorous life!

In brighter news - whoever nominated Never Going Home for the mcshep awards, thank you! (I'm sure it's some kind of comment on fandom that, of the 50 or so stories I wrote last year, the single McKay/Sheppard one is the one that gets nominated for an award. I mean, probably because there aren't any rare slash pairing awards, but still. It made me smile).

I made myself relax by wandering around my house topless.

Not sure how well that would have worked at work :o)

John/Cam gets so little respect in fandom

That's cos everybody hates Cam and loves Rodney. I don't know why, but it seems to be true.

BTW: I'm debating going betaless on my story and posting it in instalments as I write, however, I worry that I may come up with an earlier scene and blow my linear progression, what's your opinion?

I'm totally in favour of more fic, but I see your point. I don't think I've ever written anything where I didn't end up going back and changing something major early on because it went off in a direction I wasn't expecting.

Given Murphy's Law though, the electricians would have shown up then and you would not have waited in vain.
