I hate Winnipeg
Jun. 4th, 2008 06:39 pmIf you have ever wondered (in the spirit of adventure, perhaps) how much work you can actually accomplish in an editorial-type job when your keyboard doesn't work, the answer is "unsurprisingly little!" But more than you'd expect, as long as you are willing to do a lot of inventive copy and pasting.
And in a bonus "let's up the challenge!" move by the universe, we've now had tornadoes knock out our power. I am going to go suckle on the corporate teat of Starbucks wireless to try and get something done today, even if it comes at the cost of consuming designer coffee. Then, it's back to sitting grumpily in the dark, surrounded by flickering candlelight and trying to get the crank-powered radio to work. It has a lot of static while it plays, so I spend much of the time feeling vaguely worried that Pyramid Head is about to lurch out of the shadows and waste my ass.
Damn, I have so much to say and so little battery time left. Thanks for all the birthday wishes last weekend! I will return (pending no Pyramid Head-related death) to talk your ears off soon.
