Working Anna!

[annathepiper]

Tomorrow, I head back to work! I'm going back to work for the same team I was contracting with earlier this year, for those of you who have missed this; I'm very pleased by this, because I really enjoyed working for that team. And I'm delighted to know that they want me back.

This means that I shall have to learn adventures in bussing from Kenmore to Microsoft and back again, though. I've worked out the routes, and it looks like it's about the same length of time as the bus rides I used to have to take to Attachmate, so that's not too sucky. I will have to transfer busses, but that's okay. It'll perhaps give me more time to read in transit, or to listen to stuff on my iPod that I don't normally listen to.

But I will have to start getting up early again. Ugh. :)

You might consider taking a bus to the Bothell park and ride and arranging transport with one of the Bothell Mafia also.

[annathepiper]

I'm open to suggestions! You're back at Borg now, right? And jessicac and llachglin are the others in the Mafia still at Borg, as I recall.

Correct on all three I believe, just a question of pesky things like schedules. I am tending to head out at 10 these days, though I really would like to head out earlier.

[annathepiper]

Mmm. Unless I hear otherwise from the team, I'm going back to my prior schedule--which means I need to be at work by 9. So unless you want to go in significantly earlier than 10, our schedules are probably not compatible. ;)

I might be able to move to such a schedule, but not by tommorrow!

[annathepiper]

Heh. No problem. :) I'm planning on breaking out some of solarbird's free bus passes anyway, and using those till I can get the free bus pass that Volt will give me. (They've picked up the slack since Microsoft has stopped giving the Flexpasses to orange badges.) So I won't lack for transport.

But if you'd be interested in carpooling after suitable schedule adjustments, touch bases with me and we'll work out the details. :)

Yay on the job! Congrats! Getting up early sucks though.

[annathepiper]

Thanks! :) I'm looking forward to the job, but not to the early!

(But as I have just been reminded by tinlail, I could also possibly hitch a ride in with nearby friends who also work at Borg. Which may cut down a little on the early. I'll have to work out the times. ^_^)

Congrats! You going to keep up with writing while working? Are you doing NaNoWriMo this year?

[annathepiper]

Writing in general, yes.

Nanowrimo--thinking hard about it. The problem I have with Nanowrimo is that the big other novel I've been planning right now, the as of yet untitled SF story, is not together enough for me to start it yet. I still need to settle on some crucial motivations for major characters, and the gut feeling I have is that I can't really settle that after starting writing. So I need to figure that stuff out before I start that book. But I'm not sure I'll be able to nail it down BEFORE Nanowrimo is supposed to start.

The other novel I'm considering isn't quite fleshed out yet, but that may be okay--last year when I did Faerie Blood, I took about a week and a half to hammer on the outline at the end of October and then just went GO when November started.

But if neither of these ideas works out, I'll just keep working on Lament of the Dove. My muse is pretty excited about that book right now. :)

Ah, I see someone is having fun with the font tag. ;)

[flashfire.livejournal.com]

Maybe just a little.
