Someone pay Heather to get dressed.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Get dressed, Heather, and congratulations on the choice of jobs. Which one do you want? I mean, really want to go to every day?
I suppose I won't know until after the interview, but right now the non-profit is in the lead with exciting job a close second.
I should stop counting chickens.
Am now dressed, now must put on makeup and get out the door.

I tried that this morning on LJ. So far, I haven't had any takers.
