In which Giddy abuses the shift bar
Nov. 23rd, 2002 08:16 amSo I was talking to these people last night in this chat room? And we were all kind of understandably excited about this Secret Santa thing. And I got my assignment first and it's fine, I can deal and I was bunnying last night--but even though it was almost midnight when I got the email, I wasn't allowed to sleep, which I'd been talking about for an hour! Oh no! Instead, I had to wait up and watch other people get their pairings because apparently we're all CODEPENDENT and can't OPEN EMAIL alone.
Now I'm tired and have to go to work and it's SATURDAY. Do you know what happens on Saturday? Customers. Customers happen, all day, in groups of three and four and five and ninety-seven. They bring the kids and the neighbor and Grandpa and the kids are hanging off the shelves and Grandpa wants to know why we don't allow tours of the whelp rooms and the neighbor bought his dog here and has twenty adorable pictures but could the rest of them just sit down and not ask to see every dog in the kennel, PLEASE?
I warned y'all! I did! I said, if I stay up much later I'm going to want to bite my customers tomorrow! And if they try to put me down like a rabid dog, you'll have to harbor me and give me the bed and go sleep on the futon and right now? The biting and running away and being harbored sounds great because at least there are beds, which there are not at work!
Anyway. These other people I stayed up for have pairings that Please Me so I suppose it's fine. I have a location that made me go, oooh! That's kinda cool! My alterna-pairing is the one I had been talking about as 'this has gotta be the most unwritable pairing around, I better think up a plot beforehand' so I might be able to do more than one story. And while I doubt that my person really particularly wanted that story pairing because who would? at least I still have a bunny. All in all, I am very pleased and really excited to read all of these stories. Even if it takes me until next Christmas to do it. ;-)
Person who is my Secret Santa, if you were not on my friends list and came by to scan my journal, which seems to be the MO for almost everyone already: Hi! Just be glad I didn't give you The Mongolian Desert as a location. :) I considered it, man, I even wrote it down. Be Glad that deep down inside, I am a Kind and Compassionate human being!
Man, this story's gonna be hard for you to read, Merry. It's gonna be The Story Of {insert name here}'s Incipent Comforting and Adoration. Sorry about that. Wanna swap?
....
Too bad, you made me stay up until midnight! Bwahahahahaa.
Also, I am probably going to lose my mind today. Just so you all know. Six day weeks for months in a row really are kinda starting to Stress Me Out. Blergh.
