(no subject)

Scott is apparently playing up my broken foot to minimize his required overtime (given that that still meant two twelve hour days this week, I'd hate to think what the week would look like without that). He's given them an exaggerated sense of what I can't do without actually lying about it. Basically, nobody there has ever had a broken foot or lived with someone who did, so they're imagining things pretty much as they were when I wasn't allowed to put weight on it at all.

This week's metanews post isn't up yet, and I'm concerned. It's not my week to post, and I'm pretty sure the person who is supposed to post is in Australia, so it's not likely to go up today unless it goes up pretty late. The last time we ran this late, we ended up skipping a week and doing a double long post. I really don't want to do that this time because the post is already too long to fit into a single LJ post (it runs over thirty pages in Google docs). Also, I don't think that readers will enjoy having a double sized post dumped on them. I don't think anybody has time to deal with something that large.

I haven't heard from the other moderator in a couple of days in spite of having sent some emails. It's likely that they're just busy, but I always worry. I have offered to take charge of getting our potential volunteers up to speed. They've been waiting for weeks, and we desperately, desperately need their help.

Scott is planning to go see Age of Ultron this weekend. I'm not sure exactly when. He tried to talk Cordelia into going with him, but she refused. He doesn't want to go alone, but he doesn't have anybody to go with. Maybe he should call his sister and see if her kids want to go with him. That's what he did for The Hobbit.

Podfic Announcement

Someone did a podfic of The Ordinary Queen, my The Ordinary Princess story! It's listed as between ten and twenty minutes, so it's a longer one than the one I posted about a week or two ago. I never expected anyone to do anything with this story because the fandom is relatively obscure.

If you want to listen to it (I haven't yet), it's here.
