Someone...Please...Give Me Something to DO!
I'm at work...with all of my work finished...and can't find anything that needs doing...and I'm going crazy from boredom.
*pouts* Let's see...I've already made an RP post about my player-tavern I'm planning on WoW (The Salty Mouthful)
I've trolled the forums...
I've answered my email...
Now what? I've still got an hour to go.Current Mood: bored |

I don't fear death. I never have, that I can remember. There have been times in my life when I would have welcomed it, and other times when I actively sought it. Even at my happiest, I have never seen it as something to fear.
I am utterly terrified of losing myself: my memories, my personality, everything that makes me me. I have watched my grandmother in the gradual decline that comes with Alzheimer's for years now, have watched her personality change, have watched her become depressed, watched her lose herself, seen her fear.
I am afraid of the day when I might forget my children. Frightened of the moment when I might become afraid of a man or woman who cared for me for sixty years, who loved me and who shared his life with me (if there is such a man), when I might hit my children when they are trying to help me because I don't understand, when I can't remember my grandchildren's names, when I can't look for any form of quick respite because my body has not yet begun to fail though my mind is already long gone.
No...when faced with that, I think death would be preferable.Current Mood: sad |

Today has more than made up for the past week of nothing to do...it's been busy, but not too busy, fortunately. The day went by nice and fast.
I spent the weekend with B, it'd been a while since we could, because he had to work the weekend last week. Sometimes it's nice to just sit around and snuggle and do nothing for a while.
His sister has TONS of little baby hamsters. They're so CUTE!. If I didn't already have too many animals to take care of, I might like to have a couple. |

There's really no accounting for people...
Apparently the girl who went to have the baby has been working for three weeks, and during some of that was still being paid by my boss. She only just told him she wasn't coming back, though she had to have known for a while.
I understand her not wanting to leave the baby (she can carry him with her to do what she's doing now) but she should have let us know something before now.
*sighs*
That, and one of our clients came in wanting something right then and couldn't seem to understand whey WE couldn't do it ourselves since our boss is away. We're not the lawyer! We didn't go to school for 8 years, we can't give out legal advice, or just print out documents without him going over them! Grr.Current Mood:  frustrated |

Grr... The days are so slow when there's nothing to do at work.
*amuses herself with memes for a bit.*

You're a pretty crass, and even a bit crude on occasion.
Manners don't matter to you, but they sure matter to those around you. |
*snorts* Not a bit surprising.Current Mood:  blah |
|
Er.
Well, the Office Manager had a baby...and decided not to come back to work...And the other girl (who has seniority over me) is going back to college...So...I sort of get the job by default. As well as a raise. A very nice raise. *beams*
Maybe I will be able to get that new computer.Current Mood:  happy |

Wow...it's...been over a year since I updated. And what a difference a year makes! I'm now gainfully employed (and have been since last August) as a legal secretary and title abstractor. Which means I didn't get the teaching position I last wrote about (thank the gods) and that I am now a much happier person.
I'm still playing WoW, on the Emerald Dream server. My in-character RP blog for my main character is ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) demoncuddles. My fanficcing has dribbled off lately. As far as the HP fandom, I haven't quite been able to figure out what to do with Snape, post-HBP. I know I've left a lot of fics hanging, but the new job, and RL, sort of got in the way of my writing for a bit.
Sorry for disappearing on you all! I'm back! I promise! |

Woot!

I think, maybe, I've gotten the job...
Now I get to practice my own patented Snape Death Glare all summer in preparation...
*glares into the mirror...*
Somehow, on the face of a plump, jolly looking sort of woman it doesn't have the same effect. That's a look that rather requires long flowing robes, black hair and eyes...and of course the voice of a god to back it up.
However, I do rather favor Molly Weasley, and she is usually rather talented at controlling those twins... *finds new inspiration and tries the Molly glare.*
*sighs* Maybe my Mom's Guilt Trip and Sarcastic Insult of DOOM will work.
*pictures telling a student that "For such a smart girl, you really don't know how to clean your paragraph, now do you?"
No...That's too cruel. I don't want to send football players crying down the hallway.
*goes back to the Snape.*Current Mood: hopeful |

I've another interview, and this one I'm particularly ambivalent about. It is for a high-school that just fired the woman they hired instead of me last year.
My problems with this:
1. I've tried teaching high-school. I was miserable the entire time and went home crying most days. I could not control the classroom.
2. This school has a notoriously bad reputation and is in danger of losing its accreditation due to the problems it has.
The reasons I'm going anyway?
1. I'm running out of money...fast.
2. I'm desperate for something, ANYTHING, to do.
Grrr. I'm not really sure what to do. Do I want this job or not? If I get it, will I just end up in the same place six weeks after classes start? Half insane, depressed, and desperate to get out?
Oh, if only the god that is Severus Snape could help me now.Current Mood:  confused |
| » An Ode to All the Mr. Darcys |
|---|
Pride and Predjudice has always been one of my favorite novels, which is odd for me since I'm not terribly fond of romance in general. I've always considered myself to be one of this world's Elizabeth Bennets, of which there are many. And then recently, I came across the new retelling of the classic and have decided that I am definitely one of the Bridget Joneses of the world. I have to say that she and I share one quality that the original Elizabeth didn't...We're both disasters looking for a place to happen.
I spent much of my young life looking for my Mr. Darcy...and I ended up with the Wickams (or Cleavers) instead. I even had a similar first impression of my Mr. Darcy: that he was proud and popular (and preppy). I've been with my Mr. Darcy for seven years now, and he's still arrogant and occasionally condescending without really meaning to be. But he's also absolutely perfect for me, and loves me just the way I am. (I still can't get him to watch Pride and Prejudice after telling him so long that he's just like the central character, but...)
I hope every girl out there finds her Mr. Darcy (or Ms. Darcy) some day.

I think (hope, pray) that the job interview went well. Goddess, I've been doing absolutely nothing useful for so long I felt like begging them to give me something, anything to do. I need this.
Perhaps I've also got another interview tomorrow in Savannah. Perhaps I'm not so useless after all.

Wooot! I've got an interview, now I just have to go in there and impress them...
With what, though? My mad video game skillz? My ability to write fanfiction that gets responses including internet drool? My tendency to quote poetry without any good reason at all? The fact that I've supported myself these many months by writing p0rn and doing bookkeeping for one-car gas stations?
*ponders*
Well, you know, I do have two pretty degrees on my wall. I can speak proper English when called upon to do so, as those degrees have taught me. *points to the word English on both* I'm a computer geek, which is odd for an English major, I'm quite aware. I have somehow managed to win awards and publish some articles that are considered "professional." Hmmm.
Pray for me, boys and girls.
(Oh, and I've updated Being Your Slave a bit, for those of you who are reading it.)

Disclaimer: Harry Potter et al. are the property of JK Rowling, Bloomsbury, Scholastic, Warner Bros., etc. although I wish I'd come up with it first. If I had, they'd certainly not be children's books.
Rating:Er. Whatever Adult-only is now that we can't use NC-17. Oh. KDR...Kids, don't read. There are naughty words, and even naughtier actions.
Author Notes: This is written for Angeline, as part of the Detention Snarry Archive's ficathon. Her requirements were: Collars and bottom!Harry. Her optional requests were: Menage a trois, spanking, and a leash. I took the liberty of adding Shakespeare as my own personal fetish. (I'm a Lit geek. I can't help it.) This is Sonnet 57.
