Got into work just before 9am. (I technically work 9-6pm, but I could have been here at 8.30am and left at 5.30pm, if not for the incredible appeal of Rob Lowe. *g*)

Worked hard, until the boss left at 9.40am. Am now reading through the friends list.

I'm sending a virtual bitchslap to fandom_scruples for upsetting fandom (and for upsetting elke_tanzer and jessindistress in particular).

Wendi's having One of Those Days, which just sucks, too. I think it's a worldwide balancing thing. Worldwide, Monday has a quota of misery that it has to inflict. Since Australia got Monday as a public holiday, I think the rest of the world is feeling it a bit more keenly.

Edited, because my grammar sucks. No wonder other people have no idea what I'm talking about...

Yeah, the only real defense to this sort of nasty underhanded thing is to just make fandom as a whole more robust... like backing up artistic creations to multiple, secure locations, and making sure a support and communications network which doesn't have any single points of failure is in place for when someone really does get in legal trouble or tossed out of their house or job.

You know, all that survivalist Y2K stuff must have stuck in my brain. LOL!

I believe that not all of the urban legends of fen getting fired are false. There are at least a few stories that are true, and the people involved don't want to step forward and then get burned again. I believe at least one of them is on my friendslist.

*nods* I agree. But, I haven't known any of the people personally, although I do trust the people who told me about it. So, I think it happened, I just don't know particulars well enough to state it as fact.
