If you aren’t bored with my stupid updates, here’s another! LOL
Did I tell you that we had a film crew on our premises on Friday? We have a shaped lawn outside our building and they wanted to film there. So we had a ton of crew and stuff all day Friday. They also set up their catering trucks, etc. Alas it was not for a movie starring Chris Pine or Tom Hanks or anyone. It was a lawnmower commercial. Still it was pretty cool to watch them.
I have finished all flashes for March now. Lucky you, you are getting Wednesdays and Fridays in March as well. Not sure about April yet. I do have a flash in mind for April 01, which is a Wednesday, and I may just go ahead and get that written and scheduled too. Keep in mind many of these are necessarily short for sanity’s sake.
Still need to do the Leap story.
After that’s finished, my plan is to get an update done for one of the two stories I have left that hasn’t been updated since November 2019, then I will fully immerse myself in the Bang story.
Right this minute I have no concrete plans for this coming weekend, so I hope that is a good thing for me. I could stand some writing time.
Tomorrow is the first February flash.
I preliminarily did my taxes and am getting about $900 back. That will be gone in a flash on bills, etc. And I haven’t yet filed, but wanted to see what I could expect.
In other news they have decided to replace the third person at my job who does it, so that was good news. No one has been hired, yet, as they just got approval, but it’s nice to know we will get that relief eventually.

That’s fantastic news! Knowing what it’s like to work understaffed I’m so happy for you. Hopefully you’ll get someone good who will pull their weight!
How fun is it to see a commercial filmed. 🙂
I am SO looking forward to flashes. Like you have no idea. Even if they’re short. They’re my happy. Thank you for writing them and for putting them out in the world!

Thanks! I figure if nothing else I will make those who follow me here happy! 🙂
It was pretty funny. They brought their own leaves for the leaf blower guy in the commercial. It took them hours to set up all their equipment too! It’s insane! I can only imagine how much it is for a movie every damn day.

Yes. Yes. Really tired of your updates. Of course. we say that all the time, right? SMH
First, needing approval to refill a position THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED.seems…crazy. Crazy. That’s like a student having permission to go to the restroom, coming back to class, and asking permission to have gone to the restroom. Sheesh.
Second, I would have sat my happy backside down in the middle of that lawn and refused to leave until Chris Pine showed up. Go get him NOW. Your commercial will be made around me until that moment. Time is money, baby.
A flash of lightning is very very quick and short, but does an amazing job to do something very scientific that the earth needs, right?
So by definition, a flash is totally valid and legal to be short. But it still does its very important amazing job for us! So never feel apologetic about a word count. It really IS quality, not quantity. And we’re already here because you always bring the quality.
I’m so glad you get money back. May I have a loan to pay what I owe on mine?
Oh for the days of easy filing and refunds.

I could not agree more about the permission thing. 100% ridiculous. 100%. But I am glad it’s finally getting SOMEWHERE.
And I meant my updates of rambling on here! ha ha, not the actual Spirk updates. Who could tire of Spirk? Not me!
HA HA I bet you would. You’d say to the commercial director, “why couldn’t Chris Pine be mowing that lawn instead of whoever this guy is”.
I figured you’d rather have short flashes than no flash at all, so I decided it was a win-win! 😀 ❤

And heck yeah. Stick Chris Pine shirtless, in basketball shorts, pushing that lawnmower or riding on it, sweating, suntanned, muscles rippling, wiping his brow with the tail of his shorts. Heck yeah, I’ll buy 2 myself, and I don’t even HAVE a lawn.

Could never get bored of your updates! 🙂
That’s cool that you had a film crew there. If only Pine was on location but a lawn commercial is pretty interesting.
Yay for not being understaffed anymore. Hopefully they hire someone soon 🙂
Can’t wait for all your updates and I hope your plans of nothing for this weekend hold steady
