Office Life

[moon_custafer]

My co-worker is complaining that in the rearranging of the office she may have to have a guy sitting at the desk next to hers, because they’re so messy. “If I have to see a messy desk,” she says, “first thing in the morning, I don’t know how I’ll be able to stand it.”

Looking at my own desk, I am apparently male. I’m as surprised as you are.

I dunno, you might've got bat wings out of the deal.

But attached to my temples? Think of the headaches!

BTW, this is almost a real-time conversation. Now I know what it's like to be in a chat room.

I should go to bed soonish, though, or green_trilobite won't be able to sleep.

PS - I prepared him a blurb this evening - he's going to do a presentation on trilobites at SFContario in November.

Ah, trilobites...I've always thought that all the best bugs are fossilized bugs.
*shudder*

He has some that look like tiny versions of the Shadow ships from B5.

Also a species called Crotocephalus or something - he basically describes it as looking like a dildo designed by H.G. Geiger. This is an accurate assessment.

Ghaaaa.

No, from what I remember chat rooms were a lot more confusing and incoherent. Also there was much more profanity and a good deal of filthy innuendos...of course, it was a Rocky Horror chat room, so that would probably explain it.

[moon-custafer.livejournal.com]

No, I've watched over g_t's shoulder - they're all like that. And I suspect you and he were in the friendly ones...


The incoherence was due to seeing a bunch of separate conversations scroll past, I think. Like not being able to tune out background noise only worse 'cos it's in writing....

[leave-harmony.livejournal.com]

Oh it was usually very friendly, yes. We had regulars, so it didn't usually get really unpleasant (though that might could depend on your standards of 'unpleasant').
I prefer IM systems, personally, or forums. Easier to focus.

[moon-custafer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I wanted linear, I'd stick to RL ; )

I like having the time to grammar-check.

[leave-harmony.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that too. I need the highest possible chance that what I'm saying is actually making vague sense, though I dunno what the failure rate is on that.

[moon-custafer.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'm experienced in deciphering all kinds of odd references; and occasionally sleep-speech or delusional rants.

[leave-harmony.livejournal.com]

Delusional rants are really the only way I communicate :/
Though Doc gets most of those, as I was tellin' him earlier. He's a very good listener for somebody with no ears.

[moon-custafer.livejournal.com]

How do his wee glasses stay on?

[leave-harmony.livejournal.com]

I had to sew them to his head on The Day. He bore it like a little trooper, though....most of the time I keep them off, cos they'd get crushed otherwise.
