Family, Holidays and Puppies, oh my!
Nov. 23rd, 2009 12:22 pmThis is already building up to be a wonderful week. So much, in fact, that I'm considering stringing some cords bunking down in the barn until it's over. We have hay in there. Hay is comfy. (Hay dust will probably be hell on the laptop though.)
I was late coming in to work this morning. Jace is in a bad way—his gums are seriously bloodless and he's lethargic. I'm hoping it's something treatable. :( So I took him to the vet this morning, but walk-ins don't start until 9, so hello, late to work. Luckily, I'm never really late and I don't take sick days, so everyone was very understanding. (hugs her grandpuppy) He has birth defects, so he was already a special needs puppy. Right now he's at the vet, and my cell phone is glued to my hip. Updates will come as I have them.
Family Wank is happening, and of course I'm in the middle listening to both sides vent and nodding along, while silently I just want to yell "GROW UP" and stuff my head under a pillow until they go away. If Papa's Thanksgiving is ruined because of them, I will do exactly that. I have no problem playing "willing and non-judgmental ear", but if they're going to let it spill over, we're going to Have Words. :| Do not make me go all srs bsns on you, people. You won't like me when I'm srs.
Work-wise... Dear Flist. Please do me a favor. If you call a support line and are shunted to voice mail, it may be because the staff is horribly under staffed (which is to say, there is only me). Please, please, please leave a voice mail. Ten seconds of silence (or curses) do no good whatesoever for either of us, and without some way of knowing how to contact you, I cannot help. Especially do so if your other choice is to call back a gazillion times in the next ten minutes. I swear that if I am able, I will indeed answer your call and help you. Cross my heart.
In fandom... Two prompts written! Neither one are of the explicit variety, nor are they long, but they have been written. *\o/* So there's something to cheer about.
