Is this real life?

[clevermanka]

xkcd has another winner this week:


Holy crap awesome:

I am scheduling a PhD defense right now, and two of the committee members are named Moriarty and Turnbull. WTF. My fandoms are bleeding over into my real life in freakish ways.

Remember I mentioned the Nerd Night presentations at Pachamama's and how I was thinking about doing one on slashfiction, but first I wanted to attend a couple? I knew I wouldn't make it to this month's meeting because of my dedication to Crossfit, and today I found out that two of the three presenters were people I know, talking about things I really would've liked to learn. *facepalm*

Stupid dedication to Crossfit. It seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Fitness is a matter of time management and setting priorities.
Fitness is a matter of time management and setting priorities.
Fitness is a matter of time management and setting priorities.

And today, I really need to set my priorities to getting shit done at work.

Focusing on my current work is hard, though, because I just had two new opportunities become available to me in regards to involving myself in fandom and I want to go dabble around on that. But I am way behind on dealing with the Campbell Conference, and that stuff's not gonna deal with itself. Everyone once in a while it hits me that Holy Fucking Shit I Am Running The Campbell Conference All By Myself This Year and I have to beat down my immediate inclination to go throw myself in a well.

I am SO struggling with this today, too.
Know you're not alone.

And no wells. Lassie isn't around to come get us to fish your ass out.
Mwuah!

WHO SAYS I WANT TO COME OUT OF THE WELL ONCE I'M IN THERE?

[renniemom.livejournal.com]

Maybe. But it would leave a gaping hole in our lives and I'm just selfish enough to drag you out :-)

AWWWWWWWW.

I took a work at home day today, and am currently taking a break from scrubbing my shower. I'll get to that work thing. Soon.

...

Oh, I actually checked in a code change. Work done.

CALL IT A DAY, GIRL.

Ack.
You know you can always schedule an unscheduled soak if you need it.

XOXOX

I'm faint with laughter over your icons here.

This sounds like a fantastically fantastic idea. I'll be in touch.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I love that she used an icon that implied I had a dick.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Well, in one way or another.. we all have.

We're your escape from reality.

I would like for my job on Fridays to be adding a daily dose of drama to quiet street corners.

That was the best thing I've seen on the internet since textsfromhilary shut down. <3

Well, Duh!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

This whole thread has me alternately Awwwing and LOLing.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

I love the people that just PUSH THE BUTTON. Ok, I'll do it.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

You know it's a certain kind of work-day when SCRUBBING THE SHOWER is preferable to working.

I'm feeling like that. But of course I need to also prep for this afternoon's reading. *sigh*

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

BEST. AD. EVER.

Now I want to get cable just to support TNT. Okay, not really, but I FEEL like that.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

So, in other words, kind of like my real life.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

:-D

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I totally would've pushed the button.

[stuology.livejournal.com]

You know it's a certain kind of work-day

Or, it is a certain kind of State of Emergency with the cleanliness of the shower...

I'll make work up later. I just really wanted to clean the shower, which grew into scrubbing both upstairs bathrooms, before I used the shower to clean me. Which I'm about to do. Then work. Then kids. Then work.

Have we ever talked about Nerd Night? Because one of my coworkers is the organizer.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

No, we haven't, but MAYBE WE SHOULD.
