[14:05:39] * exec historically nudges leathery sack of sour notes toward Bytram

[14:05:48] <Bytram> ~gday janrinok
[14:05:49] * exec insensitively pairs a fart hole of extra cleverness with janrinok
[14:06:05] <janrinok> how's things?
[14:06:07] <Bytram> sounds like more sour notes
[14:06:13] <Bytram> good, all in all
[14:06:18] <janrinok> better than farts
[14:06:32] <Bytram> needed to make some time to catch up on my sleep and some loose ends around the home front
[14:06:48] <Bytram> had a couple clopens tossed into the mix which makes things a bit more challenging
[14:06:50] <janrinok> I'm a bit off-colour at present - don't know why, but I am very tired
[14:07:23] <Bytram> clopen ::= work the late shift one night until after store closes, and then the early shift the next day so be there an hour before the store opens.
[14:07:31] <Bytram> who needs sleep? ;)
[14:07:32] <janrinok> understood - I'd worked it out
[14:07:35] <Bytram> nod nod
[14:07:55] <Bytram> that was as much for any others who might be viewing this
[14:08:08] <janrinok> lol - you think other people read this?
[14:08:51] -!- OtherPeople [OtherPeople!~a6b6ff26@59-221-653-137.mobile.uscc.com] has joined #editorial
[14:08:59] <OtherPeople> janrinok: Hi There!
[14:09:05] <OtherPeople> =)
[14:10:07] <janrinok> nice try
[14:10:41] <OtherPeople> Drats! And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids!
[14:10:48] -!- OtherPeople has quit [Client Quit]
[14:10:59] <Bytram> and how are YOU?
[14:12:29] <janrinok> not 100% at present. Feeling off colour, tired, and just run down. I get a week of rest at the end of this month - arranged as an urgent case. I've been going 7 days a week since June. Then I have another 2 weeks in December before I have to cope with Christmas.
[14:12:49] <Bytram> sorry to hear that!
[14:13:28] <Bytram> Am so grateful for all the stories you've pushed out, but... push comes to shove, if need be we can cut back a bit on story spacing
[14:14:26] <janrinok> Its one of those things that the symptoms could be anything from just being tired, to the onset of multiple cancers with a heart attack thrown in for good measure. I'm hoping more for the former :)
[14:15:19] <janrinok> I pushed out the best of what was in the sub queue, then added some more to it.
[14:15:59] <janrinok> brb
[14:16:34] <Bytram> I saw that, and recognizing all the demands on your time, knew it took an extra effort on your part to do so. Can't thank you enough.
[14:17:01] <Bytram> May be time for me to write up a story asking for more story submissions from the community.
[14:17:05] <Bytram> participation++
[14:17:05] <Bender> karma - participation: 1
[14:19:13] <Bytram> Time for me to get cleaned up and ready for work. Back in a bit.
[14:19:16] <Bytram> afk
[14:19:40] <Bytram> Well, let me at least 2nd the stories in the story queue
[14:25:16] <janrinok> more community input would be good
[14:27:41] <janrinok> I'm noticing that more and more stories end up discussing the political aspects of TFA rather than its content. It must be getting closer to election season in the USA!
[14:28:00] <Bytram> Yes, it is. Early November
[14:28:41] <janrinok> oh, goody, then we can have the after-election mud-slinging too! :)
[14:28:46] <Bytram> Found out something interesting about our site today.
[14:29:06] <Bytram> I signed up to have each days' stories emailed to me.
[14:29:06] <janrinok> go on
[14:29:13] <janrinok> so have I
[14:29:23] <janrinok> have been getting them for years
[14:29:24] <Bytram> Only receive the "Intro Copy" text
[14:29:41] <Bytram> Have not seen Extended Copy.
[14:30:01] <janrinok> I used to, but maybe I turned it off
[14:30:21] * janrinok can't remember if or how he did that
[14:30:50] <Bytram> I have no recollection of ever changing my settings.
[14:31:08] <janrinok> maybe it just 'happened' during an update
[14:31:13] <Bytram> Don't know if that is a new thing, or long-standing behaviour that I have only just nw=ow noticed.
[14:31:49] <janrinok> Not seen the extended version for over a year now that I think about it.
[14:31:55] <Bytram> k
[14:33:36] <janrinok> nursey time, brb
[14:36:23] <Bytram> k
[14:36:33] <Bytram> story 2nding completed
[14:45:32] <janrinok> many thanks - I'll do yours now
[14:45:50] <Bytram> am working on another ... should be a couple minutes more
[14:49:32] <Bytram> ready
[14:49:37] <Bytram> time to get going.
[14:49:41] <Bytram> Nice chatting with ya!
[14:50:11] <Bytram> Give S a hug and a kiss and ask her to tickle you for me! =)
[14:52:27] <janrinok> have a good one!
