cblj_backupGaaaah.
It's Conference week this week, and everyone's gone bonkers. Tomorrow we have the massive company staff meeting and, due to an expanded Conference Week -- it used to be a Conference Day -- they rescheduled the company picnic for Friday, which is random, but whatever. I don't have to go to the picnic, fortunately, since I have a doctor's appointment (routine; no new broken limbs, promise). It's not that I don't like picnics, per se, except that I really don't. You have to be outside for them, and the daystar burns too brightly. This summer is unbearable. We better have a fucking awesome winter to make up for it.
But Conference Week does mean that I am already behind on email, and likely to get more so. I'm spending most of tomorrow in a dark room watching PowerPoints.
I did want to recc a fic to distract you all while I'm gone, and because it's awesome -- Raw Footage, which I helped beta. It's Foxy, writing about the Avengers dickbombing each other, so you know it's good.
Sometimes I think being a grownup is exhausting, and then I read fanfic about dickbombing and I think, I'm not even a grownup most of the time.

Good luck surviving Conference Week, Sam!
