It's Finally Finished!

I finally finished "Choices," and posted over at FF.net. (I'd link it here, but I'm sure with the posting delay I would screw it up.) I should never post half of a story before I know where I am going with it. It may work for other authors, but I've been writing for 2 months... I feel like a huge weight has been lifted and I can move on to other stories that have been rattling around in my brain.

I also went to the gym with a friend and walked/ran on the treadmill for 45 minutes. That's about 25 minutes longer than I am normally on the treadmill, but it was good for me since I've been sluggish lately. Of course, then I came home and walked the dog for another 45 minutes.

Work is picking back up. For awhile it was so slow, I was going stir crazy (although not enough to be motivated to work on our scanning project.), but now it is picking back up thanks to a retirement. I know that another co-worker has been hit with way more work than me, so it's unfair to bitch and whine, but it sucks regardless, especially when others aren't picking up any extra work, and I have people riding me to do even more proactives.

I guess I should be happy, I could get laid off, or demoted, like I've seen going on with others. I wish our economy would pick back up, and our state budget would stop hacking into our raises. And it helps to actually like the people I work with. I laugh when I think of what my previous employer said, "You are kind of anti-social." (Because I didn't hang out for a half hour in the kitchen each morning, sucking down coffee from the company coffee pot.) It wasn't me, it was just that they all bugged the hell out of me.
