Best-laid Plans

[evilhippo]

I had so many grand plans for tonight, involving (in this order) Working Late and Catching up on Service Transferred Files, followed by things involving Word Counts, and probably some Grocery Shopping. I made it fifteen minutes into Working Late when I noticed that it was dark and I'd just spent the last fifteen minutes with my head in my hands wondering why one of our clients was asking me to confirm that their system was correct in listing the property in question as being located in the city of "3 Chicago" and another was shouting at me in CAPS LOCK about how my careless mistake due to not being trained on the software and not being able to get answers from any of the reps was something that just CANNOT BE THIS WAY. Then I got home and the rest of the plans rapidly devolved into Eating Rocky Road Ice Cream for Dinner and Reading the Yuletide Fandom List (Anthropomorphic Academic Institutions? Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)? Entire Andrew Bird albums?). This cheered me a bit, and pretty much cemented my desire to participate this year. Also: next year, I am going to find a way to nominate NPR as a fandom, because... because let's not get into that but it should happen.) But now it's after 9:30 and I've done utterly nothing with the only free evening I've had this week. (I think this means the mental downtime was probably necessary, and so I'm doing my best not to feel useless about it.)

So, putting all that behind me now... I am stealing a meme from bluerose16 because it is awesome funtimes and you guys can make fun of how Chicago is creeping into my otherwise-innocent midwestern accent, or make me try to read my awkward prose aloud. Or both. Or, you know, the crux of the thing:

Ask me questions. Something you're curious about, just feeling silly, whatever. I will answer in a voice post in a couple of days, when I can answer them all in one go.

Edit: Oh wait, NPR is a fandom. I love the internet. But there is a sad, sad lack of Lake Wobegon and Garrison Keillor, which is, in fact, what I would write about.

Ooh ooh, I have questions! Pick me! Ok, first:

What are the first three chapters of our new xanatos business book going to be? Can we get a sneak preview?

Then:

Is it ok for me to de-friend someone for posting this excerpt from some weird new age guru on her blog:

What I suggest is that you imagine and feel the Earth as being in her beauty and perfection. She, like us, is a conscious Being going through a transformation, yet at the same time, and from an expanded level of awareness, we can know that everything is happening perfectly.

We are firmly locked on the track that takes us to the Cosmic Transformation, the Awakening! There is no going back.


And finally: what IS this Cosmic Transformation that is coming, and should I pack sunscreen? (Keep in mind I'm very pale and burn easily.)

When you are King of the Planet (yes, that's right, you heard me, 'King'), what laws will you enact?
