rm- I just wrote 5 artcles about medical spa treatments. That was fun. Not.
- There's some unbelievably obnoxious article on ValleyWag about how LJ laid off 20 or 28 employees and the world is ending and it's all the fault of fandom. As far as I can gather, LJ actually did lay off some employees, but it was more like 12 - 14, not 20, and ValleyWag is notoriously sensationalistic and obnoxious. Yes, you should back up your journals, but you should do that anyway. THE SKY IS NOT FALLING. Most companies are doing layoffs now. Chill the fuck out.
- Why does this LJ shit always happen when Patty is out of the country?
- Meanwhile, have not heard from Patty since she left Muscat for Bat. We had heard she would have Internet at the dig location, but right now, I have no way of knowing. In fact, this is always the part I hate the most -- it's entirely nervewracking to me until she checks in from the site and I know all is well and what level of communication I can hope for. Right now, I don't even have an address for her! So all I can do is send emails and video messages from my phone.
- PMSing and full of largely irrational anxieties on many fronts.
