Yup. Once I get work under control and Maisy May in a viable state (I got some editing done on the weekend!), I shall be wandering into MR much more often. And maybe when more people are awake!!!

That's great. Then you can be like me and work at home(assuming the cat does not log you out with his bum). You get nothing done because you are always playing in MR in between trips to the kitchen and the loo. But you will be at home more.

Got into work this morning and was about to haul out my Kindle from the backpack when it stated: battery depleted

I've gotten so used to that it just keeps on running that I totally forgot to charge it for the last couple of weeks. Talk about a luxury problem

Welcome to MR

- have you tried bribing them with chocolate ?

*ponder*

I'm trying to work out how that differs from work...

Oh, of course! I have less people to talk to at home!

Over 1000 words - useful ones - written tonight!! *boggle*

That's amazing for me, after the day I've had.

Although... I keep seeing a huge-arse black spider crawling across my ceiling in time with my eye movement... maybe I'm imagining all of this...

Yawn... had to get up early to put on a crock pot full of dried beans and pork. My sister and BIL are coming over today for lunch, and he requested it with cornbread and fried potatoes. Sort of heavy for a hot summer day, but he is having a craving. Now I'm awake and sitting here dreading the panicky "company is coming" rush to clean house.

If it weren't for company coming, I'd never dust the furniture at all.

Uh Oh! That must be why my house is all dusty!

Sorry to hear about your Kindle. Should we light a Virtual Candle—at least until the battery recharges?

You really have to curb that craving. It's happened to me two years ago. I spent so much time on MR that I neglected my work. Since I'm self employed it almost was disatrous.

I'm expecting it to be good to go when it's time to turn home and at least last me a couple of weeks

before a new charge. I'm eager to continue reading about Jake Adlestein and his life as a journalist in Japan (book: Tokyo Vice, silly name but an interesting book about an american working for a newspaper in Japan covering the police beat).

Got in late at night and didn't feel like driving the 3 hours back home. So stayed in the hotel where we had parked our car.

You can charge it with a micro-USB cord, you know...

Call your IT guy and whine that you need it for some frivolous reason. I've heard that they like getting calls like that...

I bought a spare charger cable to keep at work to avoid this dilemma! Worth the money.

Wow - that would be the biggest & scariest "floater" I've ever heard of!

Did you try swatting it to confirm/refute its existence?
