Works No Longer In Progress 2016

Works No Longer In Progress 2016:

I have posted my annual clearing-out of unfinished fanfic: my Works No Longer In Progress. It’s all Avengers this year: one Avengers Academy fic, one modern-day Captain America AU, and one that’s mostly general Avengers with a Steve-centric slant. 

As the title implies, they are unfinished and will remain so. Fair warning!

Years ago, when I was the Ninja Office Boy, I knew pretty much everyone in our organization, because they all had to come to me for stuff like door access and how to find the Secret McDonalds. But then I joined a specific, select department and people came and went, so now a lot of people in org don’t know me, or at any rate don’t recognize my face.

I’m trying to learn as much as I can about the way the org operates, so I’ve been going to more meetings than usual lately. And because I’m learning, I sit quietly and don’t say much. And nobody knows who I am.

It’s kind of hilarious to me because around twenty minutes into any given meeting, people start noticing that I’m sitting quietly and listening intently and not talking, and they don’t know who I am or where I’m from, so they get suspicious. WHO DO I REPORT TO? WHY AM I THERE?

And they start talking to me, or looking at me for confirmation, and meanwhile I’m sitting there going “I don’t know what that acronym stands for or who you are either. I am so lost at the moment that my mind is split between listening to you talk and thinking about how I need to buy new snow boots.”

It turns out, you guys, I have Resting Boss Face.

It’s a heady feeling of power combined with a certain sense of ignorant despair. I should maybe be less emotionally invested in my professional life, because right now just existing in a meeting is a little exhausting.
