nabbed...

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.

OMG, that sounds so like me at work. Why are people so gorram stupid? My favourite part is when the accountant comes along and lectures me because a dumbass client paid some crazyass random amount, like it's my fault.

I know JUST how you feel - I'm often in the situation you describe.

I like juice. Orange in particular. It is my ambrosiac nectar.

I feel your pain, for I deal with some incredibly stoopid people on a daily basis. And what's sad? Most of them are the juice on the level of Sunny Delight, which is fructose crap, and not real juice. Oh, for a day full of Minute Maid goodness!

OH NO!!!!

That is evil and wrong and BAD! Bad bad bad!! Grrrrr. Well, I'm glad you got off with only a warning (or, well, and injunction), but VERY SAD for the loss of the insane amounts of Lyssie-fic that we have been lucky enough to enjoy of late.

:GASP!!!:

Yeah, I was troubled that there was no lyssie fic today....

....!!!!

:cuddles:

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

That was actually because the fic I was writing is not finished.

sigh

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

So you still WERE writing fic? :hopeful:

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

It's probably what caused the trouble, since I was...kindatypingconstantly. (my word count from 6 hours frankly scares me)
But I really was waiting for queries to run. stupid lag.

:hugs you, omfg!: So does this mean you still can write fic or you'll have to be more careful?

Oy, ficwriting on company time. :bats at plot bunnies:

It means I will, tragically, be forced to write long-hand...

[frobisher.livejournal.com]

I remember years ago, when I worked in the file room of a law firm one summer, they made me not read while I was shredding papers - a job I could do blindfolded with one hand... which I might as well have, since my eyes and other hand were not allowed to be involved in anything useful.

Type quietly?
Type when no-one's looking?

Stealth-type!
:)

I don't type that hard, the keys go clicky clicky.

Even if I type really slowly, you can still tell I'm typing, and then I don't type as fast, and it's annoying..
