"Oh, remarkable, Ratty!" cried Mole. "Have you been eavesdropping on my secretest thoughts?"

In honor of both Rush-That-Speaks' lovely long SF/Fantasy reading lists and my good mood, I am going to title each post I make with a line from a favorite speculative fiction story from now until whenever I feel like stopping or until I run out of quotes.

This week's is from George Alec Effinger's brilliant and impossibly-beautiful-in-its-transient-despair Two Sadnesses.

I love my new job.

I tend to throw myself into work that I like, especially when there isn't a lot else to do. It's good that I have this job.

My coworkers are also neat. One is going on vacation to Japan and reminds me a bit of you, Syona Keleste. Another I had a lovely conversation with about the Rock Poltergeist.

I am writing a lot, which is good. Gaudior and Rush-That-Speaks--did you get my latest bit of City of the Dead? What did you think? I am also thinking a lot about dragons, and drew a quite fun picture I am trying to post on my website, without success.

Arcturax--why do I get a 403 not found error when I try to upload a new HTML file to the server? Can you look into this for me?

Good luck moving!

Thought you might enjoy the editorial job. :) Glad to hear it, and that the long days are still leaving you with enough energy to do a bit of your own writing.

Yes. I submitted something yesterday; we'll see how it goes. I've been obsessively checking my email for a reply.

Can you drop a line to the nexus folks, Rai? Thanks.

Line suitably dropped. :)
