desperanceThere. My first act at my new desk: I have voted for the SFWA officers of my choice.
I love voting. In the UK, it's that little passing moment where you get to feel like a citizen, rather than a subject; in other contexts it's just a participatory pleasure, but it is still a pleasure for me as well as being Important and so forth. Making my mark in a literal sense, making my voice heard even if I'm only shouting in unison with a lot of other voices (or of course crying in the wilderness, making a protest, being a naysayer: I've done that too).
Mac is now exploring the desk. I don't know what you call those flat wooden boards that can be drawn out to serve as extensions to the desk-surface, but this has two, one on either side; I call them cat-perches. Mac is now perching appropriately.
