Everyone knows about fingernails on a chalkboard, that screechy, chilling noise that makes your hair stand on end and your skin crawl. Well, I have another nail sound that gives me almost the same severe reaction. It’s not the first time I’ve noted it. It’s just that I have been returned to a situation where I hear it constantly all day long. That sound is…
Acrylic nails on a keyboard. Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
“Oh wait! I need a moment to think. Let me move one hand to the desktop and tap repetitively there as a stratagem for pulling the thoughts forth.”
Do the people who have acrylic nails like the sound of acrylic nails? Or are they like corsets once were, a necessary evil that is ‘fashionable’? And have acrylic nails ever really been ‘fashionable’? Because, really, to me, they are just LOUD.
You know, only one good thing on Earth has ever come from acrylic nails. Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5.
I didn’t even make that up.

Indeed, that would be the acrylic nail wielding demon to which I refer.
Actually, once upon a time, I was able to meet my quota at work and crank out roughly a chapter a day. Now I do the exact same amount of work and don’t accomplish anything of my own.
Basically, she is the singular reason that my fics have been so slow in coming lately, so I think that you should all band together and form a plan for sabotage.
She is keeping you from Lindsay/Cindy goodness.
