I have made it into the office three days in a week. Confetti! It's a parade!
Speaking of which, which quote do you most slide into conversation in a way that they don't need to be recognised? Like, you know you're the only who gets it?
For me, it's "It's a whole different vibe." I have the entire exchanged and visuals in my head, but it's not really enough for anyone to identify as being something. Though they might start to wonder why I say exactly that. I do usually use it in the "I'm not X. I'm Y." formation also.
If I read Twitter, I'd certainly follow Simon Pegg.
I didn't call my mother, because by the time it's 9 over there, it's too much of a risk to wake her up. I'll try and get her tomorrow morning. Although I need to be spot on getting into work. 8AM meeting, all my fault. And my manager will probably kill me for it, but she can take it on the phone if she wants to.
Lee, I pay for an alarm system. Not going to mention how many times I've set it off or when I don't arm it. Really should drop it.
OMG, given the # of typos I just fixed, you'd think my eyesight is still fucked. Maybe it is, damnit.
Lee, I have an alarm system. I've set it off a few times, but it makes me feel much better when I'm here alone. If nothing else, I know no one can get into my house without me knowing it. It's worth it.
My comic book guy asked if I'd consider picking up a shift as his shop one day a week. That's like a dream come true for a geek, isn't it?

I have managed not to set it off yet, but it's also been off a lot more than it's been on.

Do it!!! If you want. Also? I can't remember if you're currently partnered, but girl working comic book store? Your geekshake will bring all the boys to the yard.
I spent the evening doing mad networking, with martinis, which was fun AND super-potential producing. Eric Clapton Cocainetini and er, 3 Rod Stewartinis.
I got a round comped, because my new contact dared me casually to flash the musician and bartender, and I was "Oh, sweetie, you have NO IDEA." They were in a corner, so I was all "Hey guys, hope you're good sports, but I have a dare riding on this, so..."
Shirt up. Jaws dropped. Round comped. Glad I was wearing a pretty bra.
I won't do life-threatening dares, but people dare me to do shit, and I'm all "ORLY?! My chutzpah, let me show you it."
Er...do not abuse this knowledge at the next F2F. Or do. Whatevs.

My aged memory, let me show you it. Except I forgot where I put it...
