A Little Help

I am on my 3rd cup of coffee and I've been awake for about 4 hours. This is apparently what happens when I go to bed before midnight. That or the extreme stress of my job has just come to a head yet again. I'm sick of it - it is making me emotionally volatile. Well, more emotionally volatile and not in a fun way either.

So, this is my idea - I have NO idea what kind of career to pursue instead of this. I actually never had any intent to be this, it just kinda fell into my lap and the money was good and I was good at it so I stuck around. Now I am stuck. However - I have a really large fList and even considering the Law of Diminishing Averages (and actually, I have no idea what the Law of Diminishing Averages means, I mean maybe I do when I am not stressed and exhausted and overly caffeinated, but right now I am just including it here because it sounds kinda mathy. I shouldn't be allowed in SGA with that kinda attitude) that means, even with people filtering and skimming and no longer existing or what not, at least 100-200 people are reading this right now.

I need ideas about what to be when I grow up. You guys are smart. Brainstorm.

The Great Comment Challenge of Aught* Five

movies_michelle has a great idea - continuing along the theme of leaving feedback, sending feedback and commenting. Well, at least I am having a theme week of that. Your theme week could consist of Muppets or Baby!SGA!Animals!OMG and if so, you are having an excellent week - share the love and comment!

Where was I? Right:
Now, a challenge: I challenge everyone on my flist to leave a comment to an author/vidder today for someone they've never commented to. Doesn't have to be long an involved, though that would be great. And it doesn't have to be a recent story/vid. In fact, I encourage you to go back and leave a comment for something you "always meant to comment on" and never have. Believe me, as a writer, I am thrilled when someone comments on something I posted some time before. It's like an extra Christmas present. You don't have to even find the original post about the vid/story, if you can't find it. Just leave a comment in the author/vidder's lj somewhere. I can't speak for everyone, but I know I wouldn't mind getting a comment on a story in a completely unrelated post.


I second her challenge - so this means I need to go and make TWO!!! MUAHAHAHA!!! Two comments. So do you.

I'm thinking it would be really easy for me as until last week I was pretty shy about commenting at ds_flashfiction which is just stupid. I'm still pretty shy about commenting, except now I have actually done it, so I am just not as shy. Again - stupid. But I say unto you - O LJ flist - stupid yesterday does not mean Dumbass Today. I cast out my silliness and embrace appreciation. Or something.

*is that how you spell aught?
