    Nah, I do them for free. I'm working on my reviewing skills anyway, so that's what helps me out.

    I tend to more than most because of purely selfish reasons. Main reason being: "Wow, that looks weird. I want to look at it for awhile...where to put it...aha! An avatar! Win!"

    Good thing my username is among the simple.

    OT: Right now I'm going to read in bed, then pass out. Goodnight, forum buddies.

    I have to fire one of the newbies today. Ah, firings. Don't enjoy it, but treating a customer poorly is never okay. Especially when said customer was just asking questions. Then he went and ruined the peoples ceiling....bah.

    Other than the firing, today is more property checking. Also my best manager, the very best hire ever, invited me to lunch to meet his wife and oldest son. Should be fun. We'll be eating Indian food, so I need to think of some spicy dish for my taste buds.

    Also need to write. Been debating two ideas for the wip, so I'm just going to write two separate chapters with each idea, then see which fits better.

    All in all, another Monday. Have a good one, folks.

    Long day. Four hour drive to USC, then work, then back home, then more homework. Not looking forward to it, and having a hard time getting out of bed because of it.

    Yes, don't change your username, for God's sake. I'll never keep up.

    An anagram of it would be OK.

    Oomn.

    That's so good of you, EF. Much appreciated.

    Well, no obligation at all. See how you feel at the time.

    It would probably just be the opening chapters... about 4,000 words...

    I write in Japanese. Would that be OK?

    :superagree:

    I'm sorry, unfortunately I can't help you there. I would have to translate all of it. My apologies.

    Are you Japanese, or do you just enjoy writing in a different language?

    I've just realised that you're nearer to Japan than we are, so it doesn't seem as exotic to you.

    Apart from the odd Japanese visitor, I've never met anyone who can speak it...

    Oh good, you scared me for a second! I'm around all different cultures constantly, and I've traveled to a number of countries, so no, this certainly isn't foreign to me at all. I'm just terrible at other languages. I pick up bits here and there (more Swedish and Spanish than anything else), but otherwise I'm lost.

    In any case, I'd enjoy seeing your work if you ever need it.

    The freezing fog has just descended out of nowhere. Upstairs is cold, and I don't want to leave my cosy living-room. Work tomorrow, though.

    Come on.
    Now.
    Now.

    Night, forum friends :)

    I'm dealing with the same deal. I'm so sky high on cold meds it's ridiculous.

    Starting off writing, then got sidetracked by a need to eat. Tsk, what a pain.

    Where cushions are comfy, and straps hold firm.
    Only the second chunk into this review, and I think it has broken my brain somewhere along the way. o_O

    I love work from home days. Yes, reports and emails are boring, but much better when you have a couple cats sitting with you and a comfy recliner.
