@Auspice said in RL things I love:
I don't gotta put 'aspiring' before 'author' anymore.
I'm very happy for you. I'd tell you to be proud of yourself, but I'm sure you already are. Excellent work, keep it up!
RL things I love
-
Pepper Jack cheese bars. I love these things.

@Thenomain can shove his neckbeard up his ass.
I ain't old, bitches, but I am angry.
Oh that's it, asexual internet lawyer troll, you are going down.
... Okay, you win, I got nothin'.

@Thenomain A robot @Ganymede might be, but no one has ever accused it of being asexual.

Finishing the work I was allotted four days for in two? Kind of great. Except now I have a billion days of trying to get Apple to publish a new version of my app.

'Thank you so much for considering Gehenna & Hinnom for your story, "Tempest." We would love to have this fascinating tale in our anthology! I am attaching the release form for the story.'
It took me about 15 minutes to actually open the email; I was so terrified it was gonna be a rejection.
Literally crying right now. Needed some good news today so bad.
Holy shit, guys. They're gonna pay me for my story. I don't gotta put 'aspiring' before 'author' anymore.
Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

@Auspice Congratulations!!!! You deserve this and many many more of your stories being accepted in the future! This is fantastic news

@Auspice
That is FUCKING AWESOME! Congratulations! -
Thanks, guys.
Once I know more about the anthology itself (it's all Transhuman stories, so I think some of y'all might be into it!), I'll pass the details on.Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

She's back and badder than ever...
Look what you made me do -
First lecture in biology, professor recommends The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature by Steven Pinker.
RPI is so based.

TGIF jerks!

Interview scheduled on Tuesday (a week after I sent my resume in).
Fingers crossed! Pay scale is better than what I'm making now. If benefits are better (which wouldn't be hard at all), I'll ditch my current gig in a heartbeat.
Reviews of the company on Glassdoor seem to be... well, about similar to what I'm dealing with now / in line with the industry overall. So for me, it's a: 'don't look at it long-term, but as a stepping stone to at least improve your current situation.'

My boyfriend, bless his heart, has somehow managed to lose... I dunno, like every sock I've ever bought ever in the process of doing laundry. I don't even mean the occasional, universal "The dryer ate it." I mean that I literally cannot find a single pair of socks in the house, because he somehow manages to lose them in strange places every time he does the wash.
But I was complaining my toes were cold. So he brought me the last clean pair of his, and started a new load of laundry so he has some to wear to work tomorrow.

That Muslims are so insufferable even fucking Buddhists want to genocide them. Like it or not, this is comedy gold.
