i've been so tired the last couple days that i decided to let myself snooze a little later than usual this morning.  so when i set my alarm for ten more minutes and closed my eyes to drift back into sleep, what were my dream images?  balancing the disbursement receipts.  wah.  i've actually thought about how lucky i've been not to dream much about work.  but here, in the home stretch, it gets me.

yesterday the new person started and i had to spend all day with her, training her.  i knew she was starting but i thought she'd be going to another office for real training.  alas, no.  she's very nice and all but i was all, noooooooo, i don't want to chat.  i want to work on my fic!  wah!  and there's so much to take in at this job, it's not like she's going to remember a single thing i said today.  and i said so much that my throat was dry and scratchy by the end of the day.

and then we went to the farm with a tired starbuckle and that was fun.  and came home and made dinner and watched gilmore girls and i fell asleep on the couch.  and then at some point moved groggily to my bed and that was it for the night.  out.  the result of two nights of less than 5 hours of sleep, i would guess.

and i haven't even seen the flist from yesterday (wah!) but i have a rec for you nonetheless:

what you wanted from this life by jjtaylor.  for the rs_fqf.  it's a bring back black story and it's all the things i'm afraid of in those stories - it gives me hope and makes me feel warm and happy.  but it's also painfully real when it comes to remus' reaction and his suffering.  and the ending is so great.  ::loves::

i have continued to receive text slash from a few lovely people since ending the challenges.  yay!  but i have to get it out of my phone now because my inbox keeps clogging.  i'm pretty sure i wantonly deleted some messages that i wouldn't have wanted to one morning when i woke too early and my phone (which doubles as a back up alarm clock) was blinking at me and telling me i needed to make space in my inbox in order to receive new messages.  and though it was 4 am, i decided that was the very moment to do it.  i have no idea what i erased.  alas.  so, if you sent me some text and i don't post it ever, i may just have lost it.  sorry.  it was not for lack of love.

but here are some random messages i have received in past weeks:  ( domlijah, bernard/viggo, seth/ryan, trio, remus/viggo and more!  )

it is ironic to me that this is the week i'm 'back' to lj but i have barely been on.  ironic and sad.  ::misses you::  i went to the laundromat tonight and then claire, who is looking at apartments around here tonight and tomorrow came to stay with us for the night.  so we've been hanging. 

i had to train the woman at work again all day today.  hopefully, she'll be at a different office for all of tomorrow.  i just need some time without her at my elbow.  jesus. 

good news is that i at least got started editing my fic while at the laundromat.

i cannot wait to be done with this job.  i long for that day with every fiber of my being.  i hate it there.  i hate the boss.  i hate the way the people treat each other.  i hate the boring, monotonous tasks i am responsible for doing. 

but i have complained about that plenty already, haven't i?

how about some recs?  (in my lack of lj time, i've picked a few stories to read and not even had time to feedback - i hope these recs suffice, at least for the moment)

-two weaknesses by musesfool.  sirius/remus, post-hogwarts.  this story is told from lily's pov and it works very, very well.  i started reading it and then left for work and all day thought about it and read the rest when i got home.  and it totally delivered.  i love it. 

-impish by minervacat.  it's dom/bean!  is that not impetus enough to read it?  but also it's adorable and believably drunken and stumbly.  ::sigh:: dom. 

-four ways to be guilty (even if you didn't commit the crime) by jjtaylor.  an insta-rec, as i just read it.  um.... ow.  four drabbles, one for each of the marauders.  about that night.  oh, man.  it hurts.

bwahahaha!!!  claire just walked by and saw rachael sitting at her desk brushing her teeth with her electric toothbrush and... er... mistook it for something else.  and freaked out briefly.  and now there is much laughter.  ahahaha.

also, does anyone else think that paul hamm (or his brother, i keep getting confused) looks an awful lot like glockgal's ron?  or is that just me?  let's see... i'll find a picture for those of you who haven't been paying attention...  oh, so, no, i mean the brother.  morgan hamm.  there's a picture on this site.  yeah.  also?  ::cough:: hammcest ::cough::
