Tag: on call overnight

Also National Teddy Bear Day and Wonderful Weirdoes Day.

Since I didn’t have to do anything except wait for phone calls all morning, that’s all I did. This activity combines well with sleeping. Eventually I got to hand it over to Coworker L and go grocery shopping, which was moderately successful. So, I kind of did two things today, counting morning and evening on-call as half a thing each.

I also thought about game design a whole lot, but in a despairing kind of way because so many of these ideas are not fitting together. Six rolls is definitely too many to resolve the most simple attack, though.

Watched: Helluva Boss 2.5-6: I guess it was nice to see Blitz’s sister, but the new writer is just bad. Even in this genre, the characters deserve more respect than that. Ep 6 was way better, and opens up plot, and also I actually like Fizzaroli and Ozzie. (Although Ozzie and Stolas should have been more useful.)

Read: “The Curing” (Kristina Ten): Magical realism plus middle-school clique fads equals a dismaying mess and permanent damage.

Read: “The Three O’Clock Dragon” (John Wiswell): More magical realism, train dragon vs corrupt mayor. I think this may be a reflection on current NYC politics, but not sure.

Read: “The Job at the End of the World” (Ray Nayler): Not fantasy, barely even SF despite being set in our climate-disaster future in which all the works of humanity are as nothing before the fire tornadoes.

Written: 193.

SWIDT?

Fortunately work was light today, but I have to be available in case the Special Customer calls between 19 tonight and 13 tomorrow, and same tomorrow night. The expected number of calls is zero, though.

Watched: One Piece 1.1-2: Marith liked the first episode, so we continued on to the Evil Clown episode. The clown was definitely evil! Also more of Luffy’s backstory. Shanks was pretty great, it’s no surprise Luffy thinks of pirates as heroic. Not sure about this anti-Straw-Hat task force, though.

Written: 242, although I ended up deleting most of it after. It wasn’t going in the right direction.

Accomplished mostly nothing today, but have to be on call for special customers all night.

Written: 134 words, bringing me to 1522 for the final week and 15275 for the ten-week-long challenge. That is right at 150% of my goal, so that’s good, except my goal was 1/3 of what it was last time, so that’s bad. (The frogurt is also cursed.)
