WOOT Good mail day.
Netflix and info about grad school orientation and a nice letter from my new principal. I need to swing by school and get my planner and a book.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, make Heather get dressed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Someone pay Heather to get dressed.

It's the opposite of stripping!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Why would one of the most admired and celebrated law firms in the country assign half of its motion to dismiss for the biggest case in the country to fucking SUMMER ASSOCIATES? Why did no one at that firm actually check the work? Why do I have one afternoon to clean up this godawful fucking mess?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My brain is full of prescription painkillers and feels like it might float out the window.
Using it for thinking is so not on the menu.
I think I should take a nap.

DX, as Dana said, one of the big issues is that the Big Famous WIP in question (which is a pretty well known WIP) isn't hers to offer. There are something like 14 people who were working on that project, none of them were consulted, and she's put them in an exceedingly awkward spot.
Fandom. So crazy.

Oh, and thanks to folks for the advice. I get antsy about anything that involves me asking somebody for something that I need and they don't have to give me. Or that they do have to give me, but might not want to. Or that they don't care one way or the other about, but... right, so "asking for anything" then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm going to take a stand and say that I don't want anyone to pay me to do anything!
Wait, no... I want someone to pay me to do absolutely nothing at all, no strings attached. That's my dream job.
