I Forgot to Comment on A Yuletide Story and Now I Cannot: Please Help
Bored. I can't read Yuletide because my work computer is filtered against it. I can't talk to customers on files I need to talk to customers on because of the two jerks that I had to deal with this morning and now I hate all living creatures great and small. Well, not baby animals. The Baby Animals can live.
What infuriates me the most? Damn jerks end up getting their way just because you want to get rid of them you bend over backwards to do what they want. It is positive reinforcement for negative behavior and no wonder he is an asshole. Being an asshole works.
I can't call other adjusters or vendors because the entire universe, except for us, is off work today. We have Monday off, which would be great except, now I don't have internet at home, why bother staying there?
I predict this is the weekend I get caught up on housework, paperwork, and also - all of those books piled by my bed.
I am officially the second to last person in the office. I am here to man phones and that is it and no one is calling because they don't think we are here.
I am so bored. Bored and alone. The other adjuster just asked if I was working cause she can hear me typing and I told her no, I was emailing my Mom.
So bored. There will be no fanfiction for tiny Liz this weekend. There will be no aim. There will be no big Moment of the Yuletide Reveal and SUPERSHIT! I forgot to comment on "Fish and Game". Crap!
Okay - someone do it for me -- go to yuletide and tell the writer of "Fish and Game" that I adored the story. I loved every moment of it - from the structure of the first person bits to the quotes she/he used for Darien and then! BOBBYHOBBES my friend.
And so I am going from memory here because I cannot access the story at work but the part where Darien says "Who says you are right outside? *I* say you are right outside" or something and that was just - I heard that in my head. That and it is so like Darien to get all philisophical about the nature of the booty call.
And then the whole exchange of Bobby telling Darien he was freakishly tall and Darien responding he was a freak between the sheets! Such. A. Dork. I adore them so. And a stepladder!
Then the banter and the carefulness and the cuddling and then my very favorite part where Bobby posits that he could probably just go to the Chief and say that "me and Fawkes , we are having the invisible sex" and The Official would probably just grunt and say, "not on the job, you're not" and that would be the end of it.
Oh, and Bobbyhobbes would think that a crystal punch bowl is nice. He would!
Well, I really like that. So - if someone could let the author of the story know that if I could access Yuletide, I'd post all of this to let her/him know but since I can't I'll just tell y'all.
Maybe I have commented on that story. I feel like I am forgetting to do something and it is I-man related and I remember actually commenting on "Control" and I think I broke something on Bas's LJ so it has to be "Fish and Game" unless I dreamed someone wrote fic last night. This would not be unusual for me to do.
God I am bored. I wish I could read Yuletide.
::tells co-worker bye::
And now we are Down to ONE! One lone adjuster in the office. Someone has to stay until 5 to answer any calls and that someone is somehow, always, without fail, me.
Well. It's not like I have plans. Wait. I do. It's not like I have *good* plans...

Songvid Show
Last Updated : 2004-12-11 19:37:44 (90 read)
[Printer friendly page]
Escapade and songvids have a long history. (Just ask Jennifer, who spent the first Escapade vid show shuffling VHS tapes in and out of a VCR at the front of a small meeting room.)
Technology has changed. The community has changed. Vidding has changed. Interest rates have dropped. And the Escapade vid show continues to evolve with these changes. This year, the vid show will consolidate the changes from last year, in the ongoing effort to create an enjoyable watching experience.
We will be staying with one formal show on Saturday night, with Friday being available for informal showings.
In keeping with the new technology, vid submissions will be accepted electronically. Details to follow by December 18, including format requirements and ftp location for uploading.
We now have a dedicated mailbox for vid questions and requests.
The deadline for video submissions will be February 2, 2005. Earlier submissions are, of course, welcome. Submissions will not be accepted by hand at the convention.
Vids from attending vidders take precedence over non-attending vidders.
We will try to showcase the widest variety of vidders possible.
We will have an online form for submitting info on your vids, to assist us in planning.
The tech track and alternate programming rooms will continue to be available for vidders who wish to organize their own showings.
Escapade does not censor or screen vids for content. View responsibly.
Got comments or questions? Let us know!

Now I just have to get the computer at home online and all.
