Halloween Shopping

Work does dress-up nights every month, and this months is Halloween themed, so I bought my costume(s) today.  They were cheap, and consist mostly of wings and a very short rag skirt, but I can make the rest up from my wardrobe anyway.  So, win, I think :)

The thing that confused and scared me was the Christmas stuff.  The sheer amount of it that is out in the shops already is ridiculous.  IT IS OCTOBER.  There are over 9 weeks until Christmas.  Enough already, people.  It is one day, do not drag it out for months on end.

I Choose You - Information

So, information about the ICY 'verse.  It is (currently) 6 parts long, not all written yet, but fully plotted and waiting for me to have enough time to do so.  In order, they will be:

1. (Barely) Controlled Chaos 2. Under Cover Of Darkness 3. The Face The World Sees 4. Good Guys Don't Always Wear White 5. My Brother In All But Blood 6. War, Not Just A Battle

I have no idea how long it will take me to write and post them all, but I'm in this for the long haul, so sit back and enjoy :)

You do not need to know anything about Pokemon to read this 'verse.  I am ignoring all the things except for the Pokemon themselves, and the first time each one is mentioned, I will add a link to the relevant Bulbapedia page for anybody who's interested.  Otherwise, just assume they are sentient creatures, and anything else you need to know that is relevant to the fic is explained therein.  I wil  answer any and all questions happily.

Pokeballs, Gyms, Trainers - all are ignored in this fic.  Well, mostly.  I plan on taking the mickey out of certain aspects, but it is done with respect - I love the Pokemon games.  I just find certain parts of them strange.

As far as the Avengers is concerned, there WILL be spoilers for the MCU films up to and including The Avengers (2012).  That is not to say that everything that happens in these fics is true to MCU canon.  This is very AU, and most of the background I give is made up by me, but certain scenes are taken directly from films; I will give warnings when this happens.  Otherwise, my head is a strange place to be.

Posting will start soon.  I hope you enjoy it.

Odd Things To Happen At Work #5

It's my birthday, but I was scheduled to work tonight, so I wore a big badge on my shirt that said 'Birthday Girl', because if I have to work on my birthday, I'm going to milk it for all it's worth.

A woman saw my badge, and yelled at my manager for making me work on my birthday.  I was simulataneously very amused by his expression - and repetitve 'she didn't tell me!' that the woman didn't listen to - and concerned that he would be genuinely annoyed.  Luckily for me, he took revenge by stealing drinks I had made for his own customers, making me do them all twice.  I can deal with that.

As I was leaving, he told me to tell him next time it's my birthday.  I get the feeling that I'll never need to book it off again; he's going to give it me off whether I want him to or not.

I'm ok with that.

Odd Things To Happen At Work #4

At work on Saturday night, a guy came up to the bar, and I had to do a double take.  He looked a lot like Jeremy Renner.  And he was standing on front of my till.

I was so ok with that.
