I'd have to say the Books of Boggs, if only because it's been so long since I started writing it that it's got the most work put into it. Granted, I haven't touched it in months, but with all of the plotting and the characters and details and mythology that have to be worked out to make the whole thing hang right, I really feel like that's my favorite in terms of how the worldbuilding has worked out.

Ugh, two more days of overtime. I feel as though my brain is fried, mostly because rather than keeping us in the section we work in (which is working with returned mail), they've had us on the phones for one of the plans for two weeks straight now. And there's more where that came from, because from what I hear we may be staying on the phones until next Wednesday.
It's not too bad, really, or at least it isn't when it's busy, because time flies when you're talking to people on the phone. It also makes the day go faster if you can just put on your headphones and listen to music while working the mail, but you can't listen to music if you're available to make calls.
Cue me going absolutely stir-crazy the past two weeks every time I have to make myself available for phone calls.
I'm trying to be hopeful that the overtime will keep going, though -- the mail department is too busy taking phone calls to do a lot of our work, so we'll probably be playing catch-up for the rest of the month -- and hopefully I'll hear back from Wegmans as soon as the hiring lady gets back from vacation.
What's this mean for me? OH, MY GOD, GET ME TO A QUIET PLACE AND SUPPLY ME WITH A WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM OF SOME SORT. I want to write, damn it. It's hard to try and cram it in during a fifteen-minute break, especially considering sitting in the cafeteria means a couple of my co-workers take me sitting alone as their cue to sit with me, and going out to sit at the picnic tables means walking halfway around the building, thereby using up a good chunk of my free time. I'm getting all whiny and foot-stompy about the whole thing, seriously. *pouts*

I skipped the second half of SYTYCD -- why not wait until I can see the whole thing in one sitting? -- so I could watch Top Chef and Work of Art. I'm liking Work of Art way more than I thought I would, which I suppose means I need to go back and watch the rest of it. (EDIT: "I feel relieved ... relaxed ... and a little sleepy." *dies laughing*)
Oh, and speaking of reality shows that have me by the short hairs, PROJECT RUNWAY IS BACK ON JULY 29TH. No, there is no way I'm not capitalizing that. Tim and Heidi back on my TV! Aaaaand all is right with my world. :D
