lakeeffectgirlHave I not posted since July, whoops!
I had a fairly productive summer, writing-wise, but then busy season started at work and the urge to write went out the window. It's happened before and it'll happen again but it annoys me in the meantime.
Busy season at work was slightly busier than normal, as I got promoted to supervisor, and am now officially in charge of all the student workers (as opposed to the unofficially of basically the last decade). And in charge of the other two full-timers, but they mostly manage themselves. Our previous supervisor (who did the schedule) retired and Work BFF (who did the administrative part of student hiring) changed roles, and I refused to do either unless my job title was changed and I got paid for all the new duties. And we weren't allowed to fill Work BFF's old role, so that work was going to get dumped on somebody.
While not writing, I have read a decent number of books - Middlegame, The Bedlam Stacks, The Kingdoms, The Next Patient: The Incredible World of Emergency Medicine, The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, The City Beautiful, Liberty's Daughter, Starter Villain, Black Rabbit Hall, and the first four Murderbot novellas. Several of these were for book club - earlier we read The Mars House and I liked it enough to read all the Natasha Pulley novels I could borrow from the library in e-book.
And now Yuletide assignments are out so I suppose I better write whether I feel like it or not.
