Sunday work and WorldCon

I've spent the entire day, since 8 AM (with the exception of one hour out of the house), doing freelance work, and I'm not done yet. I still have another 95 pages on one manuscript to complete, and then I need to move on to the other manuscript.
While heat does its magic on my dinner, I have stopped to review the results of yesterday's survey about what I should read at WorldCon. Thank you, everyone, for the feedback. According to the wisdom of my beloved mob, I should read a funny, unpublished short story. Unfortunately, such a beast does not exist. I have one funny, published piece of flash and a couple of funny poems but . . . this is not what has been advised. (Besides, I timed the piece of flash with two poems and discovered that, with patter, it only covered about 15 minutes tops. Of course, that might suit with a Q&A. Hm...) Unfinished serious stories, I have plenty of those. One significant bystander has requested a particular story, so I'm thinking I may need to read it aloud, time it, and perhaps revise it a bit before reading it.
Of course, given the volume of work I have to do before I depart for parts southeast of here later this week, I don't know when I'm going to be able to do that. Maybe I'll just skip the whole sleeping thing. That's the ticket!
And thanks for the votes of confidence about my awesomeness. I hope folks come and like what they hear!
