I am so bummed out.  Now you all get to be bummed out with me.  I am staring at a very oddly written specification for the "new" project phase and I can't make head nor tail of it.  Lucky me.  And I have to do THAT instead of tell you guys what is happening down at the station.

Work has to end sometime today.

Believe it or not, there are people on this board who have been known to write fanfic over doing real work...not that we'd want to lead you astray or anything....

Holy moley!

This has nothing to do with Ennis and Ellery...but I was just sitting here, writing a little, ahem, fanfic and suddenly, who comes bounding across my backyard but Bambi! Bambi comes charging up the deck, slams into the wall...knocks himself down. Now, dazed and confused, Bambi is standing there on my deck, two feet away from me, separated only by an Anderson glass door. Then, silly Bambi wanders into the outdoor shower...hangs out there for a minute or two, then comes back out and looks at me! Through the glass door! So we stare at each other for about a minute, me wishing I had a camera. Bambi then looks at the back yard and you can see deer lightbulb going off over his head. Aha! Freedom! And with that, Bambi bolts away, back down the yard...I hope he finds his mother!

EDIT: I didn't have a camera, so this is not the Bambi in my backyard, but this is just what he looked like, complete with white spots. According to the website info, this deer is about 1 month old...my Bambi really is a baby!

it means that at this particular moment I have no brains available.  It's 5 p.m. and I leave work in a half an hour, and I am looking forward to going home and cooking a nice piece of pork and getting a couple of chapters done.

I think it is reasonable right now to expect a couple of chapters a day during work weeks... because I haven't any time at work to write.

sorry folkeses.

Enjoy your dinner Louise.

I think I can survive as long as there are no long draughts...(or is it droughts that I mean?)  ::)

My own thoughts exactly!
Louise, we are spoiled now because you post chapters so many times a day!  ;)
You do what you gotta do, we can always go back to the very first chapter and start over again!
