today's reader questions

Inspired by Bam and Dick Cheney.
Bam really does take car naps at work. Wouldn't you worry about people tapping on the window and scaring the piss out of you?

That's not one of the questions. Here they are:
Do you take naps at work?
Where do you manage that?

    I work at home, and yes, I take naps at work.

    But when I worked in an office, I had a DOOR, and I used to shut the door and snooze.

    I forgot about this...for a short time I worked in a big company, I used to sleep in the corner behind a filing cabinet in the store room.

    Now I go face down on my desk and no one but the dog notices.

    Hey, Megan, no comments on Regencies???

    When I was an undergrad, I used to sleep at Bechtel Center (Berkeley) cuz they had lots and lots of sofas. Chronically sleep-deprived, especially at the dorms. In residency, I'd grab post-call catnaps in one of our attendings' offices since he never used it.

    Nowadays, thank God, I'm rarely tired enough to need the nap.

    I'm a stay at home mom, so you'd think I'd get lots of naps [or that I wouldn't need them]. Unfortunately, the kids never sleep during the day, and they think it's great fun to see what they can get into [or destroy] if I'm not fully conscious in the next room.

    So the naps are rare, but they do let me sleep late sometimes, and the other day they actually cleaned up the bathroom after they had a water party in it. The laundry hamper was full of soaking wet towels, but the fact they actually cleaned up after themselves almost brought tears to my eyes!

    I couldn't even bring myself to get onto them for having the mini-pool party in the first place.

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.

I can't stay away from the subject of Sarah Palin. I've been looking at the trashiest stories, too. Nothing to do with her stands on important issues (or if Alaska's proximity to Russia means she's got experience with foreign issues). Some of my conclusions from the wading into useless dreck: She's far better looking than she was when she did sportscasting. Say what you like about her, I think she's pretty. She's probably got the sort of charisma that gives me the willies. A lot of people who are considered inspiring make me want to escape their presence. A form of jealousy? A sense of inferiority? Maybe. Anyway, from the reports I've read, she's supposed to be the sort of person who makes you feel as if she's listening to you and cares about your opinion. She's got a room-filling presence. Eeearrrgh. All of that sounds just like what they said about Bill Clinton. I never particularly paid attention to the fact that Hillary is female--sure
