Yuletide assignments and miscellaneous other stuff
I got my Yuletide assignment, which is (predictably) for a fandom I offered on a wave of "oh hey I remember loving that when I was a teen!" emotion and now am kind of going "...oh shit I haven't read the source for twenty-five years, thank god there's an ebook version now because it was SUPER out of print the last time I checked and I have SO MUCH REREADING to do." But it was the kind of source canon that I am pretty sure will not have been hit by the suck fairy in the intervening years, and my recipient's prompts are very promising, so. Here goes nothing!
In other news, today is a day of Many Errands, while tomorrow will be a day of driving to Vestal (argh) for a six-hour mandatory training session for Not the IRS. At least I'm pretty sure it's paid training? I would have gone to the Ithaca session, except this is the only one that fit into my work schedule. On the one hand, I like my schedule at the rental office -- I get three days off per week and two of them are weekdays rather than weekends which is more useful for errand purposes -- but on the other hand, the long hours mean it's hard to do stuff on work days even at times that are notionally "after work" because I'm at the office until 7pm instead of getting off at 5 or 6. *sigh*
Anyway, I am now going to go vote in local elections and then get started on my Day of Errands.
