Some random things make a post

I have been back at work a week, and it has been OK. I started with a couple of shorter days and have been trying to stick to finishing at 5, and I don't feel too tired. I'm only working Monday and Tuesday next week, and then I'll be on leave until 4 January. Everyone seems to be very glad to have me back, though actually, things appear to have gone along pretty well without me.

I had to write a brief biography for a leadership course I'll be doing next year (leadership? Me? I don't know what they can be thinking) and ended with "I identify as queer, neurodivergent and a feminist and this fundamentally shapes my approach to work and life". Which felt...brave, but good.

I have also spent much of the week with an epic book hangover from finishing Victoria Goddard's At the Feet of the Sun, which is, basically, the epic ace romance of my dreams. And then I looked at the fic, and got annoyed that so many people seemed to think that the canon ace romance should develop into the characters having sex, and I got annoyed and ended up writing my own fic, in which they do not have sex. And I may have just outed myself as someone who prefers balance sheets to sex.

It's an excellent biography.

:DDDDDDD

Yay for an epic ace romance! And for writing your own fic to deal with annoying fans.
