Well, I feel a longer post is in order, now I have a minute to breathe.

First off,

redial_the_gate . So exiting. A brief calendar of events, 'cause I know there's a lot of posts coming from it (we'll post reminders about all these things, no doubt, but I'm putting it here too for further pimpage):

Tuesday 24^th July: discussion of the Stargate movie

Friday 27^th July: watching Children of the Gods and talking on AIM (sign up here)

Tuesday 31^st July: discussion of CoTG

Episode discussion and meta will go up every Tuesday (the AIM thing may or may not happen again, depending on how well it goes, and whether I/we have time).

We've already had some wonderful volunteers for doing initial posts and meta on aspects of specific eps, but if you're interested, by all means sign up here.

Other stuff...

My life is busy at the moment. I've been working as a long-term temp since September, but my contract is now (today) coming to an end, as my boss wants to get a permanent PA based in our Yorkshire offices. He did offer me the job if I was willing to relocate, but I didn't fancy moving up north. So I'm going to be jobhunting.

This isn't as stressful as it sounds, as I'm with a couple of temp agencies, and office admin work in London isn't exactly thin on the ground. So I'm taking a week's holiday (next week), and will hopefully be in another temp place in a couple of weeks. Last time, for example, I got interviewed and recruited for this job in two days. So I'm not worrying.

I am feeling a bit melancholy to be leaving this place, as it's been really nice working here – but then, I've always known I'm on a temp contract, so I didn't get completely attached. Eh. Change is good, I firmly believe.

So, hence why I've been a bit absent of late – this week, I've been training the new PA (which has been fun, actually – being a PA can be quite solitary), and most of my fannish energies have been going towards redial.

All, that is, except for the part of my brain that has been kidnapped by an SG-1 Does Labyrinth story. Which is all the fault of

reel_sg1 .

Oh, and in further news, I'm going on a brief holiday, too – I can't say where, because that's a surprise for my bf, and he'll read this. But we're flying out tomorrow afternoon, and back on Monday. I'll be away from the internet for four days! Well, two full days, and two days when I might get a moment to log on... :) A good way to see how addicted I really am.

Anyhow, I've done everything that needs doing (job-wise), so this afternoon I'm going to be eating cakes and playing on the internet.
