Happy Monday everyone!  Wow, we’re really on the downside of the year, aren’t we?  On one hand, this has been the longest year ever. On the other, it has flown at times, too.

Reminders:

1. Flash Challenge!  Your flash challenge prompt is: Hallmark.  Give me 100 words or a graphic and I’ll reward you with my undying love and admiration. 

2. Last week’s challenges:

November’s post is here, it’s a brand new month so come join us!

4. The Daily Count challenge is in full swing.  You can see when your next day is here.

5. November brings us to a dual challenge – NaNo and BINGO!  The NaNo posts (including tips, tricks, and prompts) can be found in the tag here.  If you’re participating this year, good luck!  And if you’re a chicken like me and would rather play bingo (there are some distinct disadvantages to growing up where I have, hah), the rules are here and the cards are here.

That’s it for this week. I hope you’re all healthy and safe and enjoying life.  Hopefully, the weather is nice wherever you are, although it’s been cold and windy here in the desert.  Here’s to a great week!

When a Monday starts off horribly that means the rest of the week is going to be awesome? Right?

*headdesk*

So here's my back story and what I'm now looking forward to this week: In July my co-worker quit, did some remote work until the first week in August, but hasn't been here since the third of July. Can't hire someone without my boss meeting them so couldn't start the search till September. Hired someone within a week, and she called to say she took another job before she started. Waited until after my birthday to try again, only two viable applicants, hired one, and she just no-showed on her first day. I this moment I'm not sure if I want to cry or scream. But I will give you:

FLASH CHALLENGE: Reason to be late on your first day of work.

Okay - We are now about 84% through the month, WOW! How are you all doing with your count?

Admin speaking we are changing up the Swap of Joy this year and we are planning on doing the Advent Event again, so you'll be hearing from [livejournal.com profile] haldoor and I both soon to get those set up.

[livejournal.com profile] agdhani has been kicking but getting things set up for NANO. Take a look and get yourselves braced!

Need a prompt to get yourself in the swing of things:
Caducous - Fortune Cookie - Monger - 870 - Lapidify - Q - Threequel - Ineffable - Weekend Challenge - Vale - Sonambulism



UPDATE: 1.5 hours later she called and overslept. I SO would not want to have to make that call. It's going to be an awesome week!

Oh joy, it's Monday. Blergh

Did you all have a lovely weekend? Did you get a lot of things done? Did you get to sleep late at all? Even just 5 minutes?

Your flash challenge is "That wasn't on the list." Do with it what you will.

I am at work at the moment, so natrually there are other things I'm supposed to be doing, but I have a 4 day work week this week, and 4 days off this coming weekend, and then 4 days next week. I'm in a bit of a good mood. I have to clean to have the plumber over (hopefully, fingers crossed) to work on my heat on Friday, but I'm still looking forward to a long weekend with the dog. What are your big plans for the week?

How about making some more words? Some more graphics? Here are some prompts you may have overlooked:
Words of the Days - Drabble/Icon Challenge - Weekend Challenge - A to Z Challenge - Number's Challenge - Fortune Cookie Challenge


Big Buddy is at 16%! How are you doing with it?

And that's all I have for you at the moment, go forth and be productive if you can, and enjoy yourselves even if you can't! Happy October!
