- Because of a conference our company is hosting in Europe this week, we're not sure if they remembered to give our numbers to the accountant to call in to pay us. Which is potentially problematic, since our accountant leaves for vacation for a week or something today. But you know, everything may also be fine. *Eye roll*
- Meanwhile, I'm waiting for money for freelance articles on a range of absurd subjects including medication-induced dry mouth, various gluten-free products and the best screen kisses of 2008. I have to do some stuff about fashion history and New Year's Eve in Sydney this week too. Also, more goddamn dry mouth articles. But hey, got paid for the canker sore material yesterday.
- This new office thing is weird. We're renting a small room from a company that rents office suites. So we're on this floor with all these other small companies. The guys across the hall shout in French all the time, and everyone sort of keeps looking us up and down to appraise the newcomers. There are awkward conversations in the communal kitchen, and men insist I get in the elevator first. These are all the sorts of casual social interactions I am bad at and loathe and it's making me a little crazy. That said, I'm very productive in this space, which means I'm spending way less time here.
- Tonight is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ellen_kushner's and deliasherman's reading down at the Seaport.
- Patty, meanwhile, has finally slept.
- Absurdly, I have no idea how long we're going to be in Ohio, because our schedule is determined, apparently, but some Bowl games (her parents always drive to see Ohio play) so which game they are in determines when they will bring us back to New York. All of which means I know nothing. Because of football!
- The dress for the ball should be here tomorrow.
