And then there was snow. SNOW I TELL YOU.

apocalypsosLast night, rather than drive myself all the way home or worry about having to drive myself to work today, I stayed at the hotel across the street from work. Instead of staying late at work or going in early, I'm sort of using it as a mini-vacation instead, getting used to Troy the shiny new netbook and quite firmly slacking the hell off.
To be honest, I *was* going to stay late at work last night, but they wanted to keep me on the phones, so I bolted as soon as possible. I'm not there to do customer service OT, I'm there to do returned mail OT. If they're not going to have me do returned mail, I'm going the hell home. Ugh. (Seriously, I'm really starting to get frustrated with the fact that I've been on the phones every day since October, and that some days I'm honestly getting more calls than the actual customer service reps, and now they're starting to throw me on the phone during even more overtime hours, when I'm supposed to be doing returned mail stuff. I want to do more overtime hours, but not if it requires me to be on the phone, which stresses me the hell out.)
Anyway.
For added fun, they closed the college today, so the orientation the weekender program was supposed to have today was canceled. Which sucks, because I was looking forward to a half-day, and now I may as well just save the vacation hours for another day.
... pffffffffft. Yeah, okay. Sure I will. Heh. :D
My current plan is to spend the next couple of hours getting my Cigarettes And Shambles outline and maybe even my Heroine Addiction sequel's outline started. Here's hoping, anyway. We're twelve days into the new year and I haven't had the chance to write a damn thing.
I was going to sign up forspn_j2_bigbang but I decided against it, more because somewhere between work and school my writing time is shortened and I kind of want to devote it to working on getting published. WHICH I WILL. GRRRRRRR. If I'm not one step closer to getting published by the end of the year -- if I haven't gotten a thumbs-up from a publisher, if I haven't finished another manuscript, etc. -- you people all have my permission to throw things at my head.
This may not help with my publishing prospects for next year, but still.
