I hope everyone will forgive my current flakiness, but I am *reading* my flist to keep up with you guys, even if I can't get to comment on everything. Hopefully normal service will be resumed next week, especially since I can get wi-fi in the staff room!

It's still going fine, although my brain is really, really tired now. I have some time on the main desk today, where I get to pretend to know what I'm talking about. No change there then. I'm also working til 7 which makes it a long day with even less chance that I'll get to chat to people tonight. This makes me sad, but keep my seat warm, I'm coming back!

I also have 2 fics to write - one for Sunday, one for Tuesday - one plot bunny and the contents of [livejournal.com profile] miss_zedem's brain. That should probably do me, assuming I find time to write it considering we're in Sheffield Friday night/Saturday. I'm not flailing yet. You'll know when I am...

How is everyone? Having a good week? Hopefully I'll get to comments today - I miss you guys!

Hi,

I can emphasise with the working until 7 - we have to do that every Tuesday!

Currently I prefer TW to Real Life, because I could just moan for hours (and not in a good way!).

The flu holds me in its claws, otherwise everything's fine (ie pretending to know what I'm doing, too).

Heh, it's amazing how far you can get with smiling and bluffing...

...no, I don't think so. I think I probably would have noticed - do you want to try again?

Appearing certain while being absolutely clueless is the way to get through anything life throws at us ^^

Howdy! I'm glad it's going fine but knowing how draining new things can be, I hope you've scheduled a little time to rest this weekend!

You may have mentioned this before, but my memory is bad - what are your duties at your new job? Main desk sometimes, I see, but other than that I'm curious about how it's different from your old job. Because if it's *good* I'm sure it is. :)

Rest? Rest...Yes, I'm sure I've heard of that... We drive to Sheffield (3 hours) on Friday night and come back Saturday night. It'll be good to see J's grandparents, but I fully intend to sleep Sunday away :S

I'll fill everyone in once I get the chance, but the main difference here is the amount of responsibility, and the level of what I'm doing. It's the similarities that will probably trip me up more than the differences, at least at first - I'll keep trying to do things the wrong way! But I'll put up a full, filtered post as soon as I can :)

Nice to 'see' you!

Ah, yes, people say "rest" and you laugh out loud? I'm familiar with that... :) But a Sleep Sunday sounds excellent.

Okay! Sounds good, I'm just curious. :)

Ooh, like learning a second foreign language!

one plot bunny and the contents of miss_zedem's brain. Hee, were some of my suggestions helpful then? Even through the various miscommunications? :D

Hope the working late wasn't too stressful. I am going to pin you down for a chat sometime soon though... ;)

Sounds like you're getting along well with your new job. Yay!

I may have something for you to beta in about a week, if I manage to snatch the time . . .
