I think the universe wants me to be poor.
My on-going saga with work: they still don't know why my computer's not connecting properly. They sent me a new computer, I bought new cables, reinstalled the primary program, got an entirely new log-in - it's possible that the problem's my connection speed. AT&T can't increase what we have right now, so I have to switch over to Charter. That's IF we can get permission from the folk's we're renting from to drill two new holes in their wall.
So not only am I missing four days of work, but I also have to pay $100 for a new internet service, which might not even solve the goddamn fucking problem. All because the stupid fuckers who run this thing gave us all the wrong information. They said we had to get hi-speed DSL. I GOT HI-SPEED DSL. YOU. FUCKERS.
*rage*
Right. So. But I'm going to try to not let this get me down. Brightside: this does mean I get to go watch the final of the World Cup tomorrow (GO ORANGE!), and that I've got some unexpected writing time. It also means I'm going to have a hard time making my first/last on the new apartment (when/if that ever comes through, please please please come through)...OKAY BRIGHTSIDE UM - I will write some kick-ass porn, as it seems that is what the universe wants me to be doing instead of fixing iPhones!
Also: in the grand scheme of things? My problems are pretty fucking minute. They're frustrating, sure, but at least I've got a job, which a lot of folks don't right now. I'm not going to lose the roof over my head or miss any of my loan payments because I'm missing a few paychecks - so cowboy up, me! (Hee. I think I'm going to nurture my inner-Peter-voice. He's fun. ♥).
Sorry I've been a bit MIA! RL, obviously, plus I've got some more family visiting from out of town (last time it was Rich Aunt, now it's Nice Aunt, both siblings of Crazy Uncle). We're going out to see Pirates of Penzance tonight. I directed it in college - should be fun to see it done professionally!
I'm also waiting for my new![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
kink_bingo card. If it's good, I'll try to do a black-out on that. I've already written 7 of the 16 kinks I have left on the current card, and I'd like to do a few more new ones if possible!
Aaaand here is my entry for the first week of whitecollar100! This week's theme is "Clue" (you can still join/write for this week!).

“Are you seriously cheating at Clue right now? Seriously?”
“Aw, come on, Peter! You just look so cute when you lose, how am I supposed to resist? Plus, it’s not really cheating…I'm just – utilizing alternative strategies.”
“Using reflective coasters so you can peek at my cards? Counts as cheating.”
“Y’know, you’re really adorable when you’re all ‘recalibrate your moral compass, Neal!’ ‘The grey area’s not a good vacation spot, Neal!’ ‘Give me back my wallet, Ne – umph.”
“How’s that for a clue?”
“Oh. I, uh. I think I may be, um. Misinterpreting. You might need to kiss me again – ”
I hope you're all doing FABULOUSLY.
*smooches*
