Another SF Valley Monday

[cmk418]

Didn't get a lot done today. Sent my resume off to the non-profit. They e-mailed me back asking for salary requirements. I gave a figure that I thought was fair and would keep me in a way that I used to be accustomed. I have no idea whether that will be a help or a hinderance. Lots of non-profits like to keep the budgets on the low side, but after working with some, I also know that they like to drive their employees into the ground so the money has to be representative of that.

The White Sox and Angels are now out of the playoffs. Boston is in. I can't stand the Red Sox. So I guess it's Rays and Dodgers for this series and then we'll see.

I don't know if the roster is finalized or not. They cut 4 more guys today. Sad to see those guys get sent down (Beach, Crawford, Brouwer, and Aliu). They seem a little heavy on the defensive side still. I really hope that Jack Skille stays up. He did pretty good for us last year.

I'm commissioning a very small fantasy hockey league this season. Thought I'd try it out. It's kinda funny because I think I was the only one who selected their own players. I've got Ovechkin (apparently I went first in the auto-draft), 6 random guys, and 7 Blackhawks (no, it's not bias, it's confidence). I'm a little peeved that my aunt got Pavel Datsyuk because he was actually on my list. Wonder if she'd give him to me for Corey Perry?

Yes, it's still me writing this.

Writing-wise, I got my prompt for the Willow ficathon. It wasn't the one I really wanted, but there's plenty to write about with the prompt I do have - it's going to be a Firefly/Buffy Crossover. I've started an idea for the OZ Trick or Treat Grab Bag. And, does anybody else start thinking of oz_magi this soon, because I think I pretty well know what I'm going to ask for. And, no, Jia Kenmin is not involved this year. *sigh*

I like my men slightly obnoxious.

And Tidwell likes hockey too - there's a NY Islanders jersey hanging in his office.

Yes, you must write Tidwell-Dignam (but maybe wait til after the next part of ROS/WOW is posted, cause I wouldn't want to delay that). Dignam comes to Cali to see his cousin and meets Crews, Dani, and one new-to-the-LAPD Billy Costigan. There's your bunny.

Slightly obnoxious? Admit it. You like assholes who make it work for them.Everyone does.

I hate hockey. I tried following it one year and my team lost and I wanted to KILL them.

Hockey isn't healthy.

AW. Man. Now, I want to write this. Also, WOW hates me right now. Billy is being an asshole, Sean is being an asshole, Addario is confused and it's late. They need to sleep and instead they're arguing.

Tell them to be quiet or you're going to play with Crews and Reese instead.

Go ahead. Tell them. I'll wait.

Did it work?

I guess it's just this one scene I'm having trouble getting past. Sean just did something that pissed Billy off(not irrationally). And Billy's having a lot of trouble processing it. The thing is, his reaction is pretty much emotional, although part of it is Sean doing this thing without talking to him. Sean, for his part, isn't sure what the problem is. He's the boss, right?

That seems to hit the dynamic of most relationships, but if you're not happy with it, then you shouldn't go through with it. Keep the draft you've got now, but play with another where said scene happens differently.

Or is it a scene that you secretly love, think is great, and are just worried that your readers aren't going to like it?

And if that's the case, could it be any more wrong than what Monahan did to Billy when the elevator doors opened?

There's nothing bad about it, I suppose. I actually like it, yet.

Something feels a little off.

And no, it's not as bad as all that!

I don't know. Would you mind if I posted what I have in a comment here, and maybe you could look at it and see if it's terrible?

I don't mind. I'll read it when I come back from my walk in about half an hour, okay?
