jenettWelcome to this week's salon post. I get us started with a couple of questions, but feel free to bring up totally different things if you'd rather.
(This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.)
Topics of the week:
Wow, I'm glad it's Friday. Too much tired in the end of my week.
I sent out my fortnightly newsletter this Wednesday and one of the things I linked to was a site collecting brief interviews with people's morning routines, um, few of which remotely resemble mine, but which are interesting to peer at.
So I'm curious what yours are, and whether it's a thing you like, or a thing that is 'doing this because it's necessary'. And if you're so inclined, what your ideal might be. (I'll do my own in a comment.)
Recent things I've been doing:
Currently up to Trial of a Timelord in my Doctor Who rewatch, and reading a book about the Black Death, Return of the Black Death by Susan Scott and Christopher Duncan, which argues that the Black Death was a viral infection (more similar to Ebola) than rat/flea Bubonic Plague.
I'm only a couple of chapters in, so still contemplating the argument, but there's a bunch of interesting data and quotes from writers at the time. (Some of which I've read before, because I am that kind of person, but some of which are new to me.)
I am also contemplating what I want to offer and request in the Worldbuilding Exchange, a fanfic exchange focusing on (shock!) worldbuilding. I had a lot of fun writing for it last year (Pseudonyms are Expected, a Leverage thing about an email list) (commentary here), and I liked a lot of other things people wrote too.
House rules:
* Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to.
* If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)
* If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

Date: 2018-01-20 09:17 pm (UTC)I've taken to sleeping in the bedroom the morning sun hits during the summer. And as I often leave the curtains open that means sun shining right on me. But inevitably I'll eventually fail to get to sleep one night, and revert to later morning waking.
My last boss had the habit of getting into work ridiculously early, whereas I'd pushed my flexible start back to 9:30, so the joke was that I wasn't getting to sleep until after she had started work (except it was true, not a joke). It worked well in that it meant I was there to cover stuff from our American colleagues after she'd gone home.
