Haven't had much time for LJ-posting.  I'm in full convention prep mode now from the moment I get home from work at the end of each day until the moment I crawl into bed at OMG o'clock AM.

The A/C has been broken in the building where I work for a full week now.  There's a pretty decent breeze to be had most days on the 10th floor if you can manage to get one of the nearly 100-year old windows open.  Yesterday, however, was intolerable... just hot and humid and no relief to be found.  I'm glad we haven't seen many days like that in the high 80s or anywhere into the 90s.  Today, however, is awesome.  I don't even have to run a fan.  Yes indeed... I'm much more productive at 69 degrees than I am at 96.

It also finally hit me yesterday that shortly after I get back from The Gathering of the Gargoyles, it'll be Labor Day and "summer" as a state of mind will be pretty much over for another year.  I've been plodding along feeling like it's not even begun because the con hasn't happened yet, and last night suddenly I'm hearing "Back to School Sale!" on the TV.

Next year, with The Gathering as it existed over, I'll have to find something else to plan my summer vacation around.  There's gotta be a way to hang out with my friends without having to invest countless unpaid hours of drudge work for several months ahead of time. :P
