Yeah – sadly things are getting more and more frustrating. There are glimmers of light and times when the days are really fun and enjoyable, but sadly they tend to be the exception and not the rule. Sometimes I think Merkle would be more than enjoyable if I just had a different set of bosses.

So you like the costume? Now you’ve got Raevyn thinking about cosplaying CC. If she does, we’ll make sure to take lots of pictures!

::giggles at Powerpoint follies:: Agreed – we have meetings like those all of the time: “Okay guys, we only have an hour to get through this, so lets hurry up and get started…” and by “get started,” they inevitably mean everyone takes turns reading from the Powerpoint presentation when the slide for their department appears on the screen….

Had an inkling that the job was getting less enoyable, but you have been tactfully restrained in your descriptions: had no idea it was getting so tedious. That’s a shame, but perhaps a signpost nudging you to something better.

The long neckline with the fleur de lis is very sharp. I like the way your example is drawn, too, all angular and willowy, including the hair and the fingers.

And, I would pay real money to see R. cosplay C.C. with you.

re: PowerPoint reading for the Blind . . . drives me NUTS, esp at meetings when there is limited time. The same section of Hell is reserved for them as for actors who do commentaries for DVDs and just re-tell the plot . . . may they all someday meet with Beelzebub and spend eternity listening to him narrate similarly . . .
