I picked up a Ladystuck pinch hit a couple days ago, and just finished and posted it. Obviously it will need some editing -- I have been and still am in the process of editing my assignment as well (which has resulted in an additional 800 words and much more developed world-building) -- but hey, it's a coherent thing, and I think it's pretty cute.
I like being able to do pinch hits. It makes me feel productive in a good way. I am usually far too busy to manage that for Yuletide, but in non-holiday parts of the year I generally have more time and spoons to work with. :-)

In other news, tomorrow is my first day of actual official work at New Job, henceforth to be known as Not the IRS. I will then be working again on Saturday, since I did end up picking up the shift so a coworker could get to a social obligation that afternoon. I feel I have a good grasp of the technical aspects of the job -- how to use the relevant computer programs and such -- but it always takes a few days to pick up the non-technical aspects, like how to properly baby the office coffeemaker, how the filing system works, exactly how the phone system is set up for transferring calls, what various coworkers' personality quirks are, etc. I will do my best to get that stuff down before we hit the peak busy period in a week or two, because I've been told that things get crazy at that point.
