To Work, or Not To Work

superbadgirlSo, I hedged a bit with the vacation time. I told my boss I didn't know if I'd return on the 13th (tomorrow) or the 17th. On my email and voicemail I gave the 17th as my return date, but I really do have lots of stuff I should probably do.
But now I'm sitting here and I really, really have no desire to get back to the routine again. It's nice to be able to get stuff done and just lounge around all day without having to do it because of illness. Now I'm still torn about whether I should get back to work tomorrow or just say screw it and not go back until Monday.
Hmmmm.
In other news, I'm thinking about cutting 60 pages of a SG-1 fic, which would bring me all the way back to page 9. Something about the whole deal just isn't working for me, but I very much like the premise and want to finish the blasted thing. I don't know if I'm brave enough to cut that many words, though. 60 pages is a heck of a lot of text.

Date: 2006-07-13 05:48 pm (UTC)The premise of the story is "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Basically, SG-1 encounter a race that is parasitical but not in the way they're used to - the society is divided into uber rich and successful and extremely poor and destitute. The destitute really don't have a choice about their condition (here plays the parasitical nature of the society).
Anyway, I originally had SG-1 finding the slums and questioning the rich folks...and promptly getting tossed through the 'gate to a place where they also learned the rule of "equal and opposite reaction," though in a much different manner. After one of them, of course, has come into contact with a parasitical being and is in a spot of trouble. Which wouldn't have been so bad, except where they went there was no DHD.
I didn't even sum that up well. I don't think it's a bad story, but I do wonder myself why it was necessary to dump SG-1 onto a remote location. There are decent moments in it I hope to save, but who knows?
