Back at the salt mines. . .
My one day of rest is over and I'm back at work. Yesterday was probably more productive than when I'm actually well. I got a fic beta done for Avarice. If you're a GW fan and like Duo and Trowa on friendly terms, go read Armchair Psychology. Read her other fics in this series at Facades - Godliness is next to Cleanliness and Open All Hours.
I also did a major clean of the kitchen because I was getting clausterphobic. I'm amazed at how much counter space there actually is. Note to self: put major appliances away when not in use.
If I did anything else, I don't remember it. So, here's to that drug of forgetfulness - no, not NyQuil - Benadryl.
So I have this fic I'm writing but don't like very much at the moment. I looked at it a few times yesterday and couldn't bring myself to work with it more. There's a writing block there that I can't seem to get over. Not happy at all about this, not at all. I think that makes six fics that are sitting around twiddling their thumbs wondering when I'm going to start paying attention to them.
Now I'm talking with students that have no idea of how to navigate a website. You know, as websites go, ours is pretty coherent and easy to follow. I don't mind guiding and helping people to find things, but I'm fairly certain the past three students I talked to are illiterate and can't follow instructions.
Me: Go to myuniveristy.mu.edu
Him: Okay, I'm there.
Me: Okay, go to the bottom of the page. Find the "My MUWeb" link.
Him: I don't see it?
Me: Okay, are you at myuniveristy.mu.edu
Him: Yeah. It's no where on this site.
Me: Sir, look at the url at the top of the page and tell me what it says.
Him: www.mu.edu
Me: Okay, remember when I said to go to myuniveristy.mu.edu? Yeah? Well, I actually meant it.
I should have taken another day off and cleaned the living room. . .
