jon_chaisson | An upcoming shortish week (Reply)

When I saw how few hours I was getting this upcoming week, I had to double-check with my boss to make sure it wasn't just a screwup, because this past week had been chaotically cobbled together before Head Boss entered the picture to make things right again. [The original schedule last week had me closing one day -- which I NEVER do -- and doing really weird midday shifts.] But no, he said...this time Head Boss had okayed it, and that Upper Management was cutting hours for a few weeks in March. I'm ambivalent about it, partly because I know it's not permanent, and partly because it kind of gives me a reprieve of an extra day off for which I can relax, sleep in and do things without feeling rushed.

So what will I do on those days off? Well, I'm kind of hoping that I can finally start on the Theadia rewrite! I've sort of been putting it off while I tidy up the dust and detritus from finishing off Queen Ophelia's War, though I've been sneaking in some crafty world building exercises and gathering what I have of the Theadiaverse into one handy reference file for future use. [This is what I did for the Bridgetown Trilogy, which saved my bacon more than a few times. Learning from past experience!] I've already started on the QOW reread, so all that needs doing is to just do the minor fixes I'll find during this sweep.

There is, of course, the time I can spend playing with the cats!
