I, like everyone else, have been staring at the blog screen since I said I would pitch in. I get the quivers when I do stuff like this, but oh well. I'm the second mod to post here WOOO! And I decided, "Well, might as well post something before I leave until Thursday on my glorious vacation!" It officially started yesterday, but what the hey - I can't stay away from HPFF for that long. Please, that would be virtual-suicide.

Anyway, yesterday I was spending my entire day inside, in an air-conditioned News Room attending meetings, working with the copy desk staff, and business reporters - watching them do their stuff as part of my senior project I have to complete. I got on HPFF there when I was done proofing the horrible horoscopes, and validated some posts that way I could just crash when I got home and watch So You Think You Can Dance, and sleep.

This morning I woke up again, got my stuff ready to leave for a birthday camp-out thing, and validated some more posts, updated some masterlists, and gave my Owl Inbox a good dusting.

You'd be surprised how many owls you can pile up in there. . . I can hear my mum downstairs laughing on the telephone obnoxiously and my brother watching cartoons on TV, which is making it very difficult to try and write my next chapter and post it before I leave. At least I don't have a dog running over my keyboard like other staff =).

Oops, I missed a few owls - I probably should get to those before I disappear. . .

Well! I can't say it was an exciting first post, but hey - it was entertaining!
