cblj_backupI did everything possible this morning in order to avoid going in my kitchen. It wasn't even that messy, but cleaning it was the One Thing I Did Not Want To Do. See also: yesterday.
While avoiding my kitchen I got most of my Christmas shopping done, coded Radio Free Monday for tomorrow, cleaned out my bookmarks, and prepped some fic for posting. I have seven new chapters of Exquisite going up over the next week, starting tomorrow, which will bring the story current with the new canon through the hiatus. It's going to be a relief to get them out of Google Docs; I am a completist, and I like to be able to scratch things off to-do lists or file them away. A full half of the documents in my gdocs right now are Exquisite, and it's going to feel awfully good to file them in the "finished fanfic" folder.
I did eventually clean the kitchen -- the above was written prior to The Cleaninating, and I just went through and changed it all to past tense. This included doing the dishes three times; they seem to spring from nowhere when I'm not looking.
This week at work should be interesting. The building I work in is doing a complete security overhaul, which requires new ID cards be issued to staff. The staff, despite my many informative emails about this, are Very Confused, so every few days I've been giving impromptu Q&A sessions at my desk because, as new hires are frequently told, "Sam knows everything."
I don't know everything. I do, however, know where to look to find everything.
In theory, starting on Friday, we will also have to "register" all visitors to our offices via a website, because otherwise they can't get through the turnstiles the building is installing. In practice, the website does not exist yet, which I believe is the definition of "cutting things close", since between tomorrow and Friday we will have to get usernames and passwords for the staff, train them in how to use the site, and explain to them that no, really, your guest will not be allowed up unless you tell the building they're not axe murderers.
On the plus side, I won't have to deal with business solicitors anymore. Or axe murderers.
