The Art of Daily Completion

This year I am looking at how I can improve my life and my writing by focusing on excellence. Completing projects is part of excellence. In this article I will explore all the ways that I apply this concept of completion to become more excellent at achieving my goals every day. The Psychology of Completion In his book, Getting Things Done, David Allen stresses early in the book is the idea of…

Steph's Year of Recovery

So! Danny noticed that a new face had made it's way into town. Two new faces actually, an older lady known as Dr Leslie, and a girl about his age called Steph.

He first met them when he was at the hospital for one of his parents. They had stood too close to an explosion again, and he met them while he was in the waiting Area.

Dr Leslie was a strict but obviously caring older woman, who seemed to be the one taking care of Steph as a kind of maternal figure, or maybe more like an Aunt. She greeted him simply and then walked away to talk with the Secretary, leaving him to talk to Steph.

Steph was a blond girl in a Wheelchair, and he could see bandages piking out of her clothes as he talked to her. She explained that she had been in an Accident a few weeks ago that left her wheelchair bound for a while, and that she had come to Amity for their surprisingly good Medical Centers.

He and Steph got along really well, and by the end of it he asked her for her Number so they could continue talking later. They stayed in touch, and when she was finally permitted to leave the Hospital, he introduced her to his friends. They all got along like a House on Fire, both figuratively and in one memorable case very literally (Vlad had pissed them off okay!)

Eventually Steph recovered enough that she moved from a Wheelchair to Crutches, and their shenanigans got even more chaotic (Vlad hadn't even pissed them off, this time was just for fun)

The only thing Danny could complain about was the fact that Steph was hiding something from them.

She said that she had been in an Accident a while ago, which was why they had come to Amity in the first place. But Danny knew it was more than that.

He could sense lingering traces of Death coming from her after all.

...

Steph honestly loved her current life.

Sure she had lost everything, her home, her health, her friends, her life, but she had gained new things too! Like Danny and the Gang! They were honestly some of the best friends she had ever had, and for some reason they just clicked with her instantly.

Danny was interesting and funny, Sam was vegan and a badass, Tucker was smart and witty, they all fit with her personality perfectly! It almost felt like she bad been friends with them for years. (She ignored the way her heart skipped a beat when she saw them)

But she still couldn't shake the sense that they were hiding something from her.

She knew it had something to do with the Ghost Problem in the town. And wasn't that a kicker, there was a whole Supernatural Ghost Outbreak in this Town and nobody knew about it. Dr Leslie had said that Amity was off the map enough to hide from Bruce, but she hadn't mentioned it was hidden from the Justice League itself!

Danny, Sam, and Tucker definitely knew more about it than they let on however. Whenever a Ghost Attack would happen, at least one of them would rush off with some practiced excuse and return after the Ghost Attack was over all dirty. She could guess what was going on, and she really didn't like it.

(This had killed her, she had died doing what they were doing, she didn't want to lose them)

Eventually she had to confront them, coincidentally on the same day they decided to confront her.

"Are you Vigilantes?" / "Did you die?"

"..."

"What?" / "What?"

There should be a fic where artificer reaches the outer expanse colony after killing scav chief and heals there. Opens up very slowly and reveals their past even slower. Starts looking after the OE pups. Confronts their past in healthy ways.

And I would 100% write this myself if I wasn't in the middle of the enot dating sim saga !!! AAAA

Going to post this small snippet spoiler for another SMG4 animatic I’m cooking up for viewing pleasure (and also simply because these characters are slowly seeping into my subconscious. As we speak Mr. Puzzles is directing my actions so that I can push his name into stardom with “gloriously animated content” HE’S KEEPING ME HOSTAGE HELP /J)

IT’S NOT FINISHED IT’S A POTENTIAL WORK IN PROGRESS

I love musicals and Mr. Puzzles strikes me as a theater nerd so I figured Hairspray (song being Welcome to the 60’s) was a good fit, plus wouldn’t it be fun to see Meggy try and help him along to start a redemption arch? Like how could they not carry a bit of sentimentality over the time spent together? I feel like her resilient passive aggressive energy pairs well with how he can be stubborn sometimes too…she can give him the push (or more like a well-intentioned shove) he needs to get his act together and give it another try! Because a part of me feels like he would want to regress into unhealthy past habits after facing so many defeats at the hands of SMG4 crew; shut himself in solitude and stare at a screen. So think the animatic would start with that scene and then lead into the musical number :D

let's play a game called "did i do irreversible damage to my college career by only taking classes in my comfort zone and depriving myself of other options or has it just been a really stressful weekend and my power was out for 24 hours and I need to go to bed"

Got my performance review today. I only worked by myself during one month of the FY 2024 time period. I was in training with the guy who was retiring from October '23 through February, so for most things I just rated myself at 'Meets Expectations'. I did rate a couple of things at the next level, which is 4 stars but I can't remember the specific title they gave that right now.

My boss told me she first submitted me at that 4 star level, but HR rejected that because of course they did. With the way the HR guy giving the presentations for how to do your self-assessment stressed how being at a 3 star level was just fine and how rarely people actually exceed expectations, I knew they weren't going to approve anything more than just meeting expectations.

I'm not surprised that it happened, but it is comforting to know my boss tried to submit me at a higher level.

I am supposed to get some kind of merit increase but I know that will also be paltry. We'll see what kind of bullshit runaround I get from HR when I submit for a promotion at the end of the year.

Patient: Why have I been billed for this?

Me: I don't know. I'm not pathology, you need to ring the pathology department and query that with them

Patient: Can I read the item numbers out to you and you can check them?

Me: No. I'm not pathology, I don't have pathology records, I don't have pathology billing codes. Please ring the pathology department

Patient: This is very frustrating. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Me: I would ring the pathology department and ask them why they've billed me because I am not familiar with Medicare billing practices for pathology specifically and need them to explain it to me

Patient: So you can't tell me ANYTHING?
