tsukinofaeriiI have been a pest to my bosses lately. Yesterday, I was officially given permission to:
1) Dye my hair whatever crazy color I can think of. I have been under a false impression that we have a dress code; this is, in fact, a lie. We had a dress code, which only my previous boss continued to enforce after our prior director moved on. I have been officially informed that "blue hair is not unprofessional, and [my boss] is not interested in policing self-expression". I translate that as, "I am not interested in policing self-expression enough to not allow your blue hair, so don't please don't make me have to" and I can roll with that. Current plans are for purple and blue highlights. WE SHALL SEE HOW THAT TURNS OUT.
2) I am allowed to take October 14-18 off from work, so long as I remain available on GTalk for [other boss] to occasionally beg for help when id:10-t errors happen and she needs someone to complain to. THIS MEANS I WILL BE AT WINCON THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY. FUCK YEAH.
3) Stop cheering that I have a vacation. Really, permission to stop granted. Some of us have kids, and see "a vacation" as any time they're both asleep for more then two hours at a time.
4) Take off my heels when walking over a hard surface, as the clicky-noises make everyone think A Certain Person is coming to corner us all in a desperate attempt for attention, and it makes them jumpy.
5) Converse with Marlynn over our shared wall, as long as we are careful and cease all attempts at amiability at the first signs of any disruption in the time-space continuum.
TL;DR, I love my place of work.
Who's going to WinCon? When are you going? Can I fly with you? (AHEM STACY?) Share a shuttle?Hang on you shamelessly while babbling about how much I missed you even if I saw you three days ago when the aliens kidnapped us both for that awesome thing with the roasted Gra'anlk on their home planet?
For anyone interested in #2, Southwest Airlines currently has a deal going on. It's not super beneficial for me (it does not fly out of my nearest airport, and the regularly priced tickets between here and Wincon are not bad—I also value convenience when I can afford it), but some people may find it handy.
Did anyone in my Wincon buddies ever figure out how we're handling rooms this year? If we're doing multiple rooms, it might be easiest to reserve them all in one name and request that they be close/joined. (I think we should, if only because it gets awfully crowded and confusing—doubling our rooms might double our price, but at least I will not go home with other people's underwear in my bags.) Regardless, can we please have a policy where everyone hands over their share when they walk in the door, and we have the hotel lock it up in a safe deposit box? I love y'all, but the money-splits have been crazy.
Marvel Folk: Has anyone seen a piece of art floating around where Steve has cowl-lines instead of tan-lines (or sunburn lines)? I have been reliably informed that it exists somewhere, but I am feeling leery of posting a search at the comm, for both reasons of laziness and another reason I don't want to drag out. (Suffice to say, I am feeling ignored in a specific instance, and right now I have only the energy to handle this by not doing anything that would usually attract attention. It makes sense in my head.) I will, however, search there if my flist comes up empty-handed, because I want that art.
I still want fic.
Finally: Doom/Loki OTP. FML.
