Oy! This payroll really kicked my ass. It's my own fault too, for taking off last Friday and for not working as hard as I could have last week. The major pain was that we took over a company and I didn't have time to get everyone entered in the system ahead of time. So normally we have like 5 or 6 people I have to enter at the last minute, and this cycle I had 32! And the only guy who could help me was swamped with insurance stuff. He toyed with me, said he would help but then didn't have time. Oh! And I got here 45 minutes later than I intended to this morning, due to oversleeping. I had set my alarm for PM instead of AM. Argh! Had I just left my RotS alarm set, all would have been fine, but sometimes I sleep through that cuz I'm so used to it, so I wanted the annoying beeping alarm to blast me out of bed. My brother got to wake me up when he noticed it was getting "late." (5:15ish) Thanks, Stad! I ended up getting everything done pretty much on time anyway. The system was very cooperative, not slow and annoying like it sometimes is. That really drives me up the well when I drag my tired butt out of bed early, only to come in and WAIT WAIT WAIT for things to run.

I don't have time to be writing in here right now, really, but it's sort of traditional for me to slack just a bit right after working my ass off for a few days. Big sigh of relief after this yucky payroll has left my hands. Only for the panic to come back tomorrow when our checks arrive late, which I'm sure they will because it happens every year on this payroll. Damn holiday gift-senders! Fedex should know that our stuff is PAYROLL and therefore more important than Grandma's present!

Huge order to do tonight and due to my I'm-going-to-RP-while-writing-out-my-slips mentality last night, I didn't get all my slips written out, thus creating extra work for me tonight. Oh well. I've already decided I am NOT going to get online, I have too much running around to do and I know I need to sleep more as well... if I get online I will stay up late like I always do!

- I WILL post once in both games at lunchtime today. EDIT: Okay, well, it's not even my turn in either one, so forget it! Will do more tomorrow (raven_annabelle, please send me more Howlers? That was cool!)
- I will catch up on my HP sorting at lunchtime(had to sort elledwen, but am 2 days behind except for her!)
- I WON'T be reading my f-list until tomorrow, and haven't really looked at it much since Monday so if you feel ignored I'm sorry, I'll catch up!

Oh, and here's a little justice for ya. I did enjoy the food at our holiday potluck yesterday, but I didn't get to sit in the room with everyone for an hour and a half goofing off - I was so buried I had to take it back to my desk. So I was out here slaving away and every few minutes I'd hear whoops of laughter. Awww, poor me. I felt I deserved to be left out because I'm a slacker, but at the same time it eased my guilt about said slacking. I really was not trying to be a martyr or anything, I wished no one had noticed I wasn't there, cuz then they felt sorry for me. Even though it was my own damn fault! (well, partially)

Guess what? My husband is doing an application for platform_934 ...heh heh. I think he wants to know where people will put him..and he likes the idea of being able to sort other people. Anyway, his name is bottled_void.

Commented and friended. Bwahahahahahaha! I like how he made the journal to keep an eye on you. Cuz you're so bad :P

Being online seriously damages my ability to do anything productive. Hence my MSN ban, not that it lasted for more than a few days!

You are so funny..

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

You were really obsessed with that RP shit, weren't you? I don't think I really appreciated how much until reading these entries.

Scary.

It's not "RP shit" - it was sooooo much fun! I did eventually drop out of the HP one, that one was so huge and I didn't really fall into any of the little cliques and it just felt like work after a while.

I will never understand the appeal of it. If you want to write something, just write a fic!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Well, you like the back-and-forth with Janie, right? (when you're in the mood!) It's just different. I like the control that fic offers... but there's no surprises there. Not like playing off another person, developing your characters over time... and doing stuff that's too silly or self-indulgent for fics!

Gah I miss RPing with elledwen.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Actually, more often than not the back and forth drives me nuts. I find it very frustrating to think "Oh, it's obvious where this train of thought has to go" after I've sent her something, and she goes 180 degrees with it!!

The interaction itself is ok, but not having full control over the story is something I'm having a difficult time adjusting too.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's quite different in that you're both writing the same character. If you were writing Anakin and she were writing Obi-Wan, just think what you could do! (ewwww) You'd generally agree on the basic plotlines ahead of time, no huge surprises that would fuck up your character in ways you don't want it to... that sort of thing. I've never "clicked" with anyone else the way I clicked with Amber... UNTIL she just completely lost interest, which was painful. I probably took that too personally. I mean, she lost interest in Star Wars in favor of Doctor Who and nevermind that she dragged a couple other people to the Dark side with her!... it wasn't that she lost interest in ME. In playing with me. In our characters' relationships.

Anyway! It's not easy to find "perfect" RP. Just read bad_rpers_suck if you're in the mood for some wankery/wtfery. (actually, the names of the sock accounts are just as amusing as most of the posts!)

You'll forgive me if I decide to skip that comm!!
