sigh.
No more reams of fic while at work. Boss-lady came by and was all upset that I was typing... whilst waiting for the fucking mainframe queries to go through. Apparently, I'm *supposed* to twiddle my thumbs while I wait twenty fucking minutes for the god-damn mother-fucking servers to spit out the information I need.
Then she brought me other work (busywork).
I don't hate this job, but I spend three-fourths of it trying to understand how hard it is to pay a fucking invoice in the correct amount. It's not like the number isn't circled and in bold.
Wait. I keep forgetting the general public as a whole has all of the mental capacity of my juice.
Probably an insult to my juice.
Still. I suppose it could be worse. They could have fired me for writing fanfiction on company time.

So, I'm sitting here, and Andromeda happens to be on (I'm going to stick something in. probably). And I look up and see...
Dylan and Tyr are bouncing into Beka's ship with the "Look what WE did, ma!" looks on their faces.
And then, a few minutes later... dun dun DUN, it's whatsisface, the villain from The Forsaken who was flirting like mad with Sam. And poor Beka.. I had to tell her Carter had him first.
Hrm.
In the meantime, I'd never seen Broken Arrow. And. DUDE. The girl in it? Kicks SO MUCH ASS. I, like, want to make other people who write female characters as badasses watch this film. Just for her.
She's smart, quick, kicks ass, PANICS and then GETS OVER IT, kicks more ass, saves Christian Slater's butt three or four times... and saves herself in the end. Can we please, please, PLEASE have more heroines like this? PLEASE? No more of the Knight in Shining Armor shit.
*awaits*
