Currently: trying to keep Cricket from destroying my desk

Have you seen that commercial? The McDonald's one where the guy doesn't want to talk to anyone until he's had his coffee? That's me. Except he's a guy. He's an actor, not a writer. And he is on TV. I am in my apartment.

I'm going to go out on a limb here. You know of bloggers who post irresponsible things about their work on their blogs and get fired? I am going to walk that line. At my work, they have substituted caffeinated for decaffeinated. I was never included in this secret meeting, this now infamous meeting where it was decided that decaf would rule the day. Or as I see it: rue the day. My days are rued. I don't know if that is a word. But weeks with decaff coffee four days a week are taking their toll. Thus, this rambling post.

Regardless of this four day a week "rue-ing" I have achieved 40K! whoooooo! Had a great night, where unexpected things happened. Had my characters sitting around a campfire. I wanted a little getting to know you banter and BAM! BOOM! They know things about each other, things they haven't told each other. I guess it's some sort of psychic link.

In honor of all this, I am posting a picture of Cricket. This makes no sense, but your dealing with someone who had decaff coffee today!
