i feel deeply dissatisfied. i sort of want to read and... sort of... not. i actually was hoping to find some holmes/watson that was satisfyingly long and well-characterized that i hadn't read recently enough to remember every detail, but no luck. my hunger for goodfic is just apparently not able to be sated properly. people aren't producing enough of it.

we spent over five hours out today, almost three of them in the fabric store. in the end we got cotton duck for perrin's pageboy costume, and some silk leaves and green cotton for my blouse. i'm going to be some kind of fairy or wood sprite. i haven't decided whether it's worth my while to make wings or whether i'll wear a skirt or pants, but am leaning towards the former at the moment as they're likely cooler.

and i've already spent nearly half my paycheck.

this job is supposed to be 15-20 hours a week but they've given me 28 next week. 20 is already rather more than i quite want, and it's not fair, because they don't *need* me--i'm new and they're *always* overstaffed, except possibly for, like, 4-5 pm weekdays! and 7:45 pm to midnight? 10 am - 7 pm? what kind of devil shifts are these??? i deeply resent this.

and i want to wave a magic wand to fix my remix fic, not have to wrestle the damned thing to the ground for a rewrite.

i hate society. society is ill. it's like a great slimy oozing black thing. patriotism is only one symptom.

10 - 7? Isnt that a pretty long shift!

I thought 8 hours is the limit for a shift before going into overtime.

that is eight hours. you get a one hour lunch off the clock.

Ohhhh, here you take an 8 hour shift and get one half hour and one ten or fifteen minute break paid.

well, we also get two fifteen minute breaks on the clock for each eight hours, or rather, 1 break for each up-to-six-hour shift.

I know how you feel.

About the waving a wand and wanting it fixed thing, especially. I want to write, but I don't want to write it, I want to snap my fingers and have it down on paper, perfect and just the way I imagined it, without it being ruined by the actual process of setting it down on paper.

I'm sorry. I'm rambling. I just, I know how you feel. *hugs*

the problem with revisions is that there isn't, exactly, a way i imagined it. i can look at it, and know there needs to be a lot more characterization of a certain person, without having any idea how it needs to be or how to write it.

however, i have taken a whack at it. a few more days *might* fix it.
