How are things going? What's something you really want to talk to people about? What's driving you nuts? Anything goes for this post.

I lost most of the morning to a headache and then had another job interview in the afternoon. I don't like trying to make eye contact with the camera, but I do like that I didn't have to drive to the place that was interviewing me for 15 minutes of chatting.

I saw a lifehack somewhere of putting googly eyes next to the camera, so that's what you're looking at - and it gives the illusion of sustained contact with the camera.

Things are fine. I'm looking for a harsh and fair beta reader who can trim down a fic, which I'm impatient about, because I want to start posting it sooner rather than later.

I love this idea

My RL work has mostly stopped now so I'm pretty isolated, except virtually. The main problem has been my completely muntered sleep cycle as I tend to do stuff all night then sleep more than half the day away. The little cat who's adopted me doesn't approve at all as it messes with when she thinks feeding times should be. :) So I'd like more structure to my days, but I've been useless so far at sticking to anything. I am writing, though, albeit slowly.

for which fandom?

[mific]

Headaches are the worst - probably not helped by videoconferencing either.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Charming!

[petra]

Probably not, no. Thanks for the sympathy.

Good luck finding a beta!

I hear you -- my sleep cycle refuses to fall into line with what it ought to be for the occasional times I get out of the house, and it's been a bit of a struggle organizing myself to go Do Things appropriately.

I do a pretty scrupulous SPAG beta, also to tighten up language flow, and can probably help with overall fic structure. But I'm not super-familiar with Buffy-verse, having only seen a few eps and read a handful of fics. Happy to help, but over to you. Message me if you're interested.
