Fuuuuuuuck

Good News: Since I'm opening tomorrow and the weather is Terrible with snow Everywhere, my boss got me a room for the night so I don't have to drive through it at absurd o'clock in the morning :)

Bad News: My boss had originally been going to join me for dinner at the restaurant, but will be tied up in her office instead. She said she's still paying for my meal, and has suggested that I call for room service. There is no other anxious person here for me to pull the Mom Friend Anxiety Override for, and eating alone in the restaurant is only slightly less awkward than having to make a phone call.


I'm either going to have to Mom Friend Anxiety Override myself into this, or eat the chocolate-pretzel bars I bought for breakfast tomorrow morning (since I'm going to need to be up and moving before the restaurant opens).


Edit: I just realized that I dressed up fancy to go to the restaurant, because it's Expected of employees. I could be wearing jeans and a t-shirt right now, but noooooo, I'm wearing slacks and a nice shirt with my hair all nice up instead. I should change right into my PJs and order by phone. Horrible, horrible, terrible phone.

Edit 2: Is it bad when you work in a hotel and have never even overheard someone order room service in real life? WHERE IS MY SOCIAL SCRIPT, I DEMAND A SOCIAL SCRIPT.

Edit 3: Food successfully ordered. I will have pretzel bars to eat for breakfast tomorrow, hooray!

Fic blather

Time for fic talk, whee!

Second part of HimMeYouHer is stalled, though the third part is going swimmingly. *side eyes it* IDK, I need to think about if I even actually want a second part in there. I mean, I think I do, but at this point I'm pretty sure I don't need it, either? Something to ponder.

Metamour or Less is going quite well! I'm almost done with the second scene, which is actually the one that has me the most worried, by dint of having the most polyamory explanation and negotiation stuff. I mean, I'm enjoying it, but still worried. I'll probably do some more thorough seeking of a polyam beta when I get closer to finishing the fic, because I definitely want to be respectful with this. Anyway, there's about three scenes after the current one, and then the fic gets wrapped up. I am definitely having fun with it :)

Meanwhile, I've also got a more thorough outline for the Obligatory Animal Transformation Fic, which pounced on me unexpectedly about two weeks ago. Available episodes of Season Two have actually been rather helpful for this. I've also resolved myself to dumping pretty much all of the animal behavior stuff, but I may find an outlet for it eventually.

I've also had a few crossover nibbles, but they aren't terribly likely to go anywhere. I mean, I might write the one that's Canon Except Also With Fruits Basket Animal Transformation Rules, because that has potential to up the pining and angst factors in hilarious ways and would only be a few thousand words at most, but the Okage Crossover/Fusion Where the Kwamis Are Cursed Shadow Beings probably won't be anything aside from a few drawings and a bit of explanatory text. (It might help if I actually finished playing Okage 9_9a Bought the game years before CFUD even, but I am crap at getting around to/finishing games.) The Cardcaptor Sakura Fusion is absolutely not going to happen, though I 100% admit that Alya bullying Marinette into making her own fancy costumes and filming all of her exploits would be hilarious and adorable by turns.

And that's all the fic talk for now, I think. Definitely looking forward to blathering more in the future :) Iiiii should get some sleep now, so I can check out "nice" and early tomorrow morning =_=
