My idea of job hell is working in an outbound call centre. The runner up is doing a job where you go in on Monday and know exactly what you're doing every day until Friday. So, it's not quite as bad as it could be, though it's bad enough doing mind-numbing work without being patronised as well.

On the upside, they're giving us a free lunch tomorrow, and they also have a few internet terminals for a quick mental escape at lunchtime. So I've been very grateful that hp_holidaygen is posting fics daily.

The best so far in my book is Reindeer Games - a perfect blend of canon characterisation, foreshadowing and humour, with a seasonal flavour. Read it even if you don't like MWPP, Snape et al, and don't miss it if you do.


I also second kennahijja's rec for Tabby Cat, featuring Animagus!Minerva and Growing-up!Harry.



On a completely different note, I've been teaching my Mum how to use Livejournal, but she's not very confident when I'm not sitting next to her giving her step-by-step instructions. I always just use LJ's interface and code the formatting myself, but I'm wondering whether she'd be better off using an interface. Do any of you have experience of one, and/or an opinion on their user friendliness?
