Getting laid (off)

I'm not getting much done. I continue to try but work is in the way. How dare my boss encroach on my writing time, yes? Does he not understand the deadlines I have in place? Terribly inconsiderate if you ask me.

Lay-offs are cycling around again. I feel very secure with my job as I'm overworked and underpaid. My boss can't wipe his nose without directions and assistance. Hopefully K has not taken over my role and I have a job next week. However dubious that job may be.

The economy is stabilizing? Really? I haven't seen the proof.

Other shit: R is back at the dumpster, smoking. The last I saw, he shot me a glare but he need not glare at me. He is his parent's problem.

Note to self: "Mia, prep resume just in case and buy new box of Kleenex... or simply recycle them to the boss. I like to think green."

Fairy tales

Joined Facebook. Am such a soldier of conformity. Discovered one individual with extensive Hollywood connections. Was tempted to friend. Decided against. Did not want to be complete drone.

Have been looking for blogger backgrounds in red and black. Other than completely slutty, this is best could find without being "cute". Loathe "cute". If you've suggestions, please provide. Google searches come up with "cute". Like Pyzam well enough, but again--slut factor. While something to be said for sexual revolution before my birth and sexual freedom now, would rather employ my assets when necessary and not for constant visual stimulation of others. Really, girls, control your source of power and dole out in small bits.

Am nearly finished with current manuscript. Characters have taken over and extended the ending. Hopefully, will complete today and tidy up prior to submissions as it has already been requested as part of new anthology featuring retold fairy tales. Mine. Ali Baba. Cast of characters alone could have made it an epic. Fortunately, they were all laid off and had only to deal with a few.

Note to self: "Mia, remember to schedule another Pub night. Invite K to see if magical perfume does indeed work outside office or if supervisor is the only fly caught."
