chocolatepotTrying to move photo files from my phone to the work computer, only my phone hates being connected to the work computer and keeps dropping out. STOP STOP STOP
Also trying to make myself do work and it simply is too much of a struggle this morning. Constantly a feeling of "I should be doing this other thing," but it happens no matter what I try to focus on. Absolute melty brain. (I mean, I am getting work done but it's a constant effort to not bunk off and read fic.) However, I have been looking at maps of New York and think it would make the most sense to live in Astoria if one were to be working on the Upper East Side. For some reason.
Trying to get back into my translations on the blog! This is partly so that there's fresh activity so that if ... anyone from ... anywhere goes to check it out (it's in my job application and resume) they see fresh activity, but also because I feel smarter and like I could do an even better job, and/or come up with interesting things from the primary source research. Like I just translated one that was talking about how (ugly) caraco outfits were the thing for Carnaval and I went OH I should go check on Nov-Feb plates from previous years and see if the fashions are typically stupider around then because they're what you should wear to bals peculiers rather than everyday life?
