Every time I go to a linked tweet today, I get completely surprising trending hashtags on the right. First was people comparing Sex and the City to the Sopranos, after a journalist I read compared the two. Now it's Azaelia Banks. What's happened? What did she do? More drama with Grimes and Elon Musk (which was a surprising enough news story when I first read it). I'm scared to google things anymore.

Well I finished RDR2. ( Spoilers )

And now I shall go look for fic, and most of it will probably be Arthur/John, and a lot of it will probably be het, and a lot of it might not be very well-written, but my God, I shall look at it and I shall hope.

This Terbil Draem seems quite appropriate for our political situation at the moment. And while we're on the subject of Terbil Draems, since I might not ever talk about them again, if I could frame this one and hang it on my wall, I would.

At work I'm having to constantly leave notes for the other receptionists who don't follow the current car parking policy and don't make sure we always have spaces in case we need them, and give people spaces when they really shouldn't and could if they wanted to just say no, and today the Monday/Tuesday woman responded to my notes from yesterday about how she'd given away a space she shouldn't have by saying "Okay, but people are always moaning about all the empty spaces, so shouldn't that be addressed?", when I copied her in on an email quite recently where someone brought that up and I responded - with great care and effort - as best I could, and I forwarded everything on to our manager and asked him to look into it and he hasn't, and left a note - with great care and effort - for the other two receptionists telling them I'd done this and how I/we couldn't really do anything else, and I don't think she really cares about that, she just wants to make her job easier by giving away a space she shouldn't rather than arranging a different space. And my other note to her was about a package that was on reception that hadn't been logged on our packages/mail form, and she said she never logs packages on there unless they're for IT, because one person requested that recently, and that's absolutely not how the rest of us do things or how I was told to do things, and I checked with the post room to make sure that was how we should do things and it is, and she obviously hadn't checked with the post room because she just left a note saying 'if things have changed, I'll do it differently'. And I'm not her manager or the other receptionists' manager, and I'm not the Head Receptionist and they're not paying me to be, and I don't really want the responsibility or stress of telling the other receptionists how to do things so they work for all of us, and I don't really know what to do about it except tell my boss, who generally doesn't do anything when I tell him things like this.

Oh my God, is it just me, or is like 100% harder to type in Google and Youtube now they have the whole predictive text boxes? I know they are a source of hilarity to Tumblr and the internet at large but ksdfkjksdalj. Typing and the ability to type - whether or not people always manage or bother with it - is what the internet is founded on, let's not take that away.

To prove my point, EVERY SINGLE LETTER I typed in the above paragraph appeared on screen WHEN I PRESSED THE KEYS, even when I used backspace! Will wonders never cease?

In other news, I got my period. Ow. Things I didn't get: the three packages I ordered this and last week, or an email telling my Netbook had arrived in the store like the shop man assured me it would this week. Growl.

On a lighter note, a thing you should probably all check out: Crimer Show. I promise you you might not be enthralled, but you won't be disappointed.

In other other news, some games aren't coming out quickly enough, and some are coming out much much too quickly. Another Assassin's Creed? Already?

My Twitter is weirdly broken, for reasons I don't really understand. It won't load up more messages when I get to the end of the page, and it won't let me reply to anything or retweet anything, even on other's people twitter pages. Hence: Here is an article about a man trying to make a gingerbread house, that made me laugh till I cried. And I had words of wisdom for some of my flist regarding Bird Wars, but they are lost to the ether now. The short version was 'crows' though.
