I was going to kick off the day today with a poll about just what I should do this afternoon after work (Spice shopping versus pumpkin smoothies, thrilling stuff), but then a GIGANTIC WALL SHELF arrived for me and answered the question: Sam, you are going to take a cab home with me and install me.

Kinky, wall shelf.

Instead, I have some links for you all. First, aprivatelibrary did some fanart in-part for Nameless called Boy Gods And Birds: it's a lovely contrasting study of Aengus, from Irish mythology, and the Boy from Nameless.

Talking of, the Nameless brag gallery has been updated more than a few times in the last few months, in case you'd like to see where Nameless has been.

I've also been asked by a friend of faeriemaiden to give her new community come_all_ye a little bump; she's in rather tight financial straits and has decided to try and raise funds by offering her own music on the comm and accepting donations in return. I have to admit I love her spirit:

Maybe, armed with a little more self respect and the ability not to have to ask my parents to pay for things like my medication, I can finally land a proper five-to-nine job. Maybe I can rack up just enough money to run off to a large city where I might have a few more opportunities [....] I mean, it's a win-win situation -- at worst, I brush up my musical confidence and expand my repertoire and stretch my discipline a little, even if I don't get any money out of it.

I had to borrow a few thousand dollars from my parents to get to Chicago, so I know how she feels.

Events conspired this afternoon to prevent me from bringing my shelf home with me. Poor lonely shelf.

But I'm not going to the offsite tomorrow and I had a bunch of stuff to carry home today, so it seemed more logical to come home today and take the shelf tomorrow, and do tomorrow's errands on Friday because I'm not going directly home on Friday -- I'm mooching around downtown anyway, until it's time to turn up for the play I'm seeing.

The reason I'm not going to the offsite tomorrow is that BossBoss has decided we need a book that lists all procedures, forms, directories, and rosters for the company. And he's decided I'm the man to do it, since "You know it all anyway."

YES. YES I DO.

I love this kind of project. All information in one place! With charts and maps and directories!

So today I sat down and made my lists of things to go in the book, and then he came by again and said "So can you have a mock-up by Friday?" and I said "You mean LIKE THIS?" and showed him my notebook. Thus, tomorrow I get to stay in the office all alone and work on what I am calling The Big Book Of Awesome (the handy pocket guide we will give out to admins is The Big Book Of Awesome For Dummies).

We're doing it The Navy Way, per BossBoss, so everything has a procedure, even things that should never have a procedure. The table of contents alone -- and that's just the stuff I came up with, we haven't even got to his list yet -- runs to a page and a half. Plus, I'm cross-referencing. Cross-referencing.

It's a little sick how excited I am about this.

Ooooh, also!

sadcypress podficc'd my Supernatural fic, "The Ten Commandments Don't Apply To Angels", and you can find the recording for download here (there's also a link to the fic and such). I am super-belated in announcing this since she sent it to me a while ago, which is my bad and she has been VERY PATIENT with me, but it's a great emotive reading and the audio is very clear, so I hope you enjoy it and let her know how she did!
