Friday bitchmeme

When you're doing half your co-worker's work because "it's been a long time since I programmed", and yet he wants to know what other projects are going with your company?

AHAHAHAHAHA. NO.

He manages to sound peremptory in every email, as well as most discussions. And the time he thought I'd missed out explaining a step in one of the processes we're undergoing, his expression was a kind of gleeful "I can't believe you missed this! This is Process 101!"

My instinct is to say that I'm under stress, busy, there's a lot going on, and I'm "just" being judgemental.

My feminist is to say FUCK THAT, BUDDY. If I asked someone to do my programming work - including debugging to find out why nothing is working - then I'd be out on my ear in an instant. A woman who can't do the job she's been hired for? Yeah, NOPE.

So I've explained the situation to my company supervisor. Also a woman in IT who understands where I'm coming from. Since I'm the only permanent from my company at this client - we've contracted him for the work at this client - my word has weight.

I'm sure he's good at the module that we're working on - when it doesn't involve programming - but I'm cross that he's offloading the programming work off onto me.

friday night

1. graphics for Maria Hill Week on Tumblr
2. graphics for Pacific Rim Secret Santa exchange
3. writing an interaction scene w/ argument, before moving on to action sequence

I'll be spending most of the weekend quilting, so no quilting tonight I think.

letter for the yulegoat's consumption

Not literal consumption, of course.

things I like

I'm always about the female characters, their goals, their hopes, their dreams, their wants and desires and agency. So I hope this is in line with what you can write, because I love me the female characters and their stories! (We should have matched on female characters, that's mostly what I requested, after all!)

I really like the idea of the women in a canon being connected to each other, even if they don't necessarily like each other. But they respect what they can do, and they don't tear each other down because they've been there and they've watched the guys do that, and they're not going to be like that. In short, women being awesome, and women being awesome to each other.

Where relevant, I've listed pairing preferences; generally, stick with canon if you can't do the pairing.

( all the small fandoms )

In the end, just write your thing about the character(s) we matched on in the fandom we both want to see more fic for, and we'll get along like a house on fire.

Although hopefully with less screaming, property destruction, and cold water being thrown at us.
