Bad thing: The internet was out at work for about six hours yesterday. This is especially annoying considering that providing internet access is one of the most vital things we do. It was apparently due to a "miscommunication" between HQ and the electric company that led to power going out to the servers without IT getting any warning.

Good thing: As a result I had no choice but to buckle down and finish a barricade day fic!

Summary:

It turns out that Marius can heal your wounds with words of love.

Don't worry, it came as a shock to him too.

Bad Thing: In the mean time I came down with an ill. It's the sort of ill that makes me feel like somebody turned the gravity up. (also various pains and sniffles and temperature fluctuations but it's the extra-high gravity that's the worst.) It's super-annoying.

Good thing: But while I am The Ill I have Castle Hangnail and the Nimona book to read! And Goblin Emperor! And the Hugo voting packet for what that's worth. And two kitties who will snuggle up to one while one is sleeping for fourteen hours straight!
