writing and work

[edenfalling]

I hate deadlines.

Nevertheless, a rough draft of my Ladystuck pinch hit is now complete and posted to the archive, and I will edit the (inevitable) mountain of mistakes, omissions, and general wtf-was-I-thinking passages tomorrow.

For now? Bed. Because while I slept a good nine hours last night, I was still operating on zombie mode all through my shift at the smoke shop, and I'm pretty sure if I am similarly zoned out on Friday, Boss Lady will be seriously pissed off. Bleh, jobs.

(On the bright side, my assignment and pinch hit alone have kicked me over 10,000 words for January -- that being the per-month minimum needed to write 120,000 words a year. I try to take pleasure where I can. *grin*)

Is your house outside the flood zone? All my high school friends are posting about the flooding (it's very similar to the situation our senior year that resulted in Ithaca High being shut down and us taking classes at Boynton for several months), so I've been hoping that you haven't been too badly affected.

So far, the flooding has mostly been west of me -- more toward Cascadilla than Fall Creek, though I believe the high school has (as always) suffered some water damage. They've been piping treated waste water (which would go into the lake anyway) up to the worst ice jams on Cascadilla in hopes that they'll get the downstream areas broken up before all the shattered ice from upstream comes crashing down to recreate the jams.

I'm a bit nervous, though, since I do live so close to Fall Creek. I would not want to lose the furnace or the water heater right now!

Glad to hear you're OK so far! I hope they're able to break up the ice soon.
