    It's no big deal. I rarely take time off anyway.

    A 400+ page proofreading project (that will likely be a light copyediting project) just dropped into my lap. (It should have gotten to me last month.) This is on top of a copyediting project I have due in a couple of weeks. You know, the one I haven't been able to work on enough because I keep getting reports to work on.

    The thing is a damn monster. The project editor was all, like, "Take a quick glance at it." Well, if I were to do a proper proofread, it would take me between 50 and 70 hours. Taking only 40 is pushing it. Shooting for 30 hours would be considered breakneck speed. What the fuck is a "quick glance" on a 100,000+ word book? I'm already working on a 100,000+ word book.

    I shouldn't even be going on a "working vacation." All I'm going to do is sit somewhere tapping at a laptop most of the time.

    At this rate, the summer will be over by the time I can enjoy it.

    I'm having a hell of a time getting used to being the downstairs apartment in a really noisy neighborhood.
    It doesn't help that the upstairs neighbors seem to like to to take long showers at one in the morning, I can hear every step they take, I'm pretty sure they had sex for an hour last night, and I hear when they flush the toilet.
    I've invested in high quality ear plugs but that's only good for when I'm asleep.
    I guess I will get used to it but after so many years of not having to, it's hard.

    Libya's main airport is under siege in some of the worst fighting in six months, Israel is beginning to put boots on the ground in Gaza, and Russia warns Ukraine of "irreversible consequences" after shelling hits a Russian border town, but the bigger news, of course, is which group men are better at kicking a ball around. #notcynicalreally

    I'm not a woman to waste time.

    Apparently someone decided tonight would be a good night for a pool party. Unfortunately for me, I live right next to the pool.

    Is that one of those fancy French words with no translation into English? This term sounds completely foreign to me.

    Your robot servant doesn't have it ready for you already? I would hop in my flying car and complain to the people at Acme Inc. if I were you.

    I used to be an organic chemist, so tetrahedrons are my specialty. Symmetric, asymmetric, you name it. :)

    Pity there isn't much call for tetrahedron experts these days.
