Brain: So what if people were randomly changed into animals out of the blue. Like a guy could be speaking in a meeting and all of a sudden he's a horse?
Me: *groans*

If I Ever- Days Off

If I Ever become a manager of a place, in charge of scheduling everyone else for their shifts.
I think I would make a conscious effort to try and have everyone get a weekend off.
If I could manage it, maybe once a month.
If I couldn't, maybe every other month.

Because nobody likes to work every weekend.....
Yet some people have to....because that's how they're constantly scheduled.

I'd like to think I could give people what they wanted.
Like if they want to have 'two days off in a row' I could do that for them.
Give them two days away from work instead of one here and one there.

-True, some people like only having one day off before going back to work.

...but Basically if I was hiring people and getting their schedules.
I'd probably have them fill out a form. Asking about their preferences.
Like do they want two days off in a row every week.
How often would they want weekends off?
Would they be willing to work weekends?
etc.

And see if I could jimmy-rig it all so that everyone could get the type of schedule they wanted....and then a weekend off every now and then....

Yah once I got that down, maybe I could focus on the hours people wanted.....

Brain: Are all the windows and doors locked?
Me: Yes. Shush. ‬
Brain: You sure?
Me: Yes.
Brain: *proceeds to dream for the next hour about being unable to get windows and doors of dreamwork and dreamhome to properly shut and stay locked* *panics* ...
Me: Brain, do you even understand the idea of sleeping at night?

Not Ash...Snow?

I frowned, pushing my hands into the odd white substance. It was cold. Freezing to the touch. I jerked back. "What in the world is this?" I muttered.
"Snow." The young girl said raising an eyebrow. "Surely you've seen snow before. Frozen water. Comes in winter."
I frowned.
"Ash comes in winter, nothing else. It's a time of burning." I said grabbing a handful of the stuff. Even the rivers in the Spring didn't run this cold.
"Burning?" She asked in askance. "No, fires hardly burn here. It's too cold."
"Well they burn where I'm from." I said the crinkle between my eyes getting deeper. "It doesn't get this cold either."

-Inspiration from watching Narina -all the snow.

If I Ever -Texting

If I Ever become famous,

I think it would be fun to get a second 'burner' phone.
And give that number out to my fans.
So that they could text me whenever they wanted to.

Of course, this is if I become a famous author like I want to be.

So the fans would be texting me questions about the books, the characters, plots, future books.

Really, I think it would be fun just to interact with fans like that.

I mean, email and twitter and facebook may be better in the long run since I'm already on those all the time anyways....
But there's something more personal about being to text someone. (I would request no calls, because talking to people over the phone isn't my thing.)
But texting. That could be fun.

Of course, when my fame skyrockets and more and more people start texting me....
It may become impossible to be able to respond back...it may end up being that that phone would never stop getting texts....

And all the texts wouldn't be good texts I suppose...some would be rather negative....

Still.
I'd be curious to find out what would happen if I gave out a text number to fans....when I become famous. :)

If I Ever -Bowls

If I Ever own my own Pet Store.

The first thing I'm going to do is ensure that none of the fish I sell end up in fish bowls.

My store wouldn't sell them at all.
If people wanted fish, and wanted to put them in a bowl we would refuse service and the grounds of animal cruelty.

Because honestly.
What fish can be happy in a fish bowl? It's a tiny space that gets dirty really quickly especially if the people who buy them don't change their water as often as necessary.

No the smallest 'bowls' I would sell, would be kits that would have a filter included in them.
So at least the fish could have running water.

If I Ever -Abandoned Pets

If I Ever end up owning my own Pet Store, I would do things slightly different.

I would be the sort of pet store where we'd have official breeders that we work with to ensure that the animals we get from them to sell to customers, are healthy, vet approved animals. They would have everything they needed to be fit to sell.
Just like my current work place.

But.
The big difference,
Is that I would have a separate section of the store, dedicated to animals who have lost their homes.
Where we would accept said animals in when people decided that they couldn't take care of them any more.
And ensure that they would get a good home too.

I would probably discount those animals as well. Maybe have them be half the price of our animals already in the store.
To encourage people to go for them.
The only draw back would be that we couldn't guarantee their health at all, not knowing their past with their owners.
But it would get unwanted animals into a place that would care for them, instead of risking them getting tossed out on the street or something. :(
