Pointless Announcements

I got an interview! So I got through the "Oh my god, what if I don't get another interview" phase of Phase II....

 

Conversation I just had:

Guy: Is Bob in?
Me: No, I'm afraid Bob took another job in October and moved to Texas.
Guy: Bob's not in?
Me: No, sir, he moved to Texas.
Guy: Oh. When did he leave?
Me: Around the end of October, sir.
Guy: So, Bob's not in. Well, where's he living now?


.......

 

Dave's not here.

 

Check is in the mail, motherfuckers.

 

Better resend that in a TPS report with the correct cover sheet. That last one had outlines for a tragic "accident" for someone named "the_jazz"

 

That's what it was beginning to feel like. Had the conversation continued to loop, I would've told him to just come back later.

 

Ran across this trying to find something completely different

 

Car in best condition it's been in in years. check
Car washed. check
Tank full of gas. check
Maps printed. check
Camera battery charged. check

Just need to pack, fine tune my iPod and tie up a few loose ends and I will be hitting the road bright and early tomorrow morning.
Far the fuck out. I love road trips!

 

tinkering with little fictions to read tomorrow night in boston.

 

Something in my lab smells like wine. Can't tell if it's my bacteria, or my brain telling me that I really want wine.

 

Wine? Give me a few hours.

 

You can keep the wine but hell yes to the steaks
*works on that broken transporter in the corner; unfortunately that one critical broken part won't be made until 2145 at the earliest.*

 

Got the surgical drain hauled out of the old butt this afternoon. For the first time in months I'm unencumbered. Such a good feeling!

 

If I recall from previous threads, Chicagoland, right? Let me hop on the train. 5 hours and counting. Medium rare, please.

 

working on a lovely little granache.
this may or may not be a great idea given that wine tends to prompt me to like everything.
but i've got the main sequence i'll read.
i'm trying to figure out a plan b.
then i will stop fidgeting with them.

the reading is happening in the context of the awp, a huge conference of fiction writers and small presses.
the segments are short, but the audience...

...

gulp

...

unlike piano performances, i'll have a script.
so the key is not too many beverages before i go on.
