Weather and other shitty things
We have ice. And wind. And cold. And I'm supposed to go to work tonight. Chances are not good that I will be. Which means I'll get written up for an 'unexcused absence' (I'm not supposed to have another one until Jan 16, according to 'the rules'). I don't like the idea, since I've never EVER gotten any kind of disciplinary action in all the 40 years I've been working - but if they think I'm going to chance going in the ditch (or worse) just so that doesn't happen, they've got another think coming. It also means I won't get holiday pay for Thanksgiving. So... I have until 8:30 to find out if the roads are upgraded enough to even try. But fuck it if I can't.
Have tentatively agreed to beta an original work from a writer on one of the forums I'm on. Paranormal thing, which will be different for me, but the writer's looking for grammar, phrasing, etc - the things I'm pretty good at. So we shall see.
I probably won't be around much for a while. Too many RL things going on, too many stress headaches and heart thingies, along with trying to get some serious writing of my own accomplished. Seems like a lot of my friends and sites are quiet now anyway. Living on the 'net just isn't doing it for me any more, frankly. Too many cranks, for one thing. I got so sick of one bigot that I deleted my entire profile and dropped out of that forum. I don't need to be associated with people like that, in any way, shape, or form. People have a right to be bigots - I just don't have to deal with them.
So anyway... going into hermit mode I guess. Deal with stuff on my LJs and sites and let the rest float with the current...

I hadn't thought about freelancing for self-publishing authors. I don't have the 'official' credentials to get an actual job, but I could still charge something for the SPs. Not like I have to be licensed or certified to do that - I don't think. ;-) And as long as I specified what I would do so they'd know it wasn't completely what a professional editor would do... Definitely something to look into. :D
Thanksgiving is going as usual - ie, nothing smooth! I had to remake the pie dough as it was breaking apart, and I forgot to take the turkey out to thaw, so instead of dinner, we're looking at a late supper :p But, it's food and it's tradition...
