Still way behind, just now peaking 7200 words. I should be at 10,000 right now. But hey, I'm having fun, and maybe when a plot presents itself, it'll really take off.
Meanwhile, though, in the future of The Earthlings:
1) The paperless office never happened, but the paperless bathroom did.
2) Bartenders have four arms and make the guys from Cocktail look like amateurs.
3) There is a whole race that has engineered itself to assist delegations to the Interstellar Assembly, changing their own forms to match their subjects.
4) An Assembly session opens with a potluck dinner, the bulk of which falls on the more junior delegations.
5) Earth's delegations over the last five years have continually disappeared, and the current ambassador was last seen by the incoming staff in a disheveled state, raving madly and making his way offworld.
Doesn't it just give you hope?

bartenders having 4 arms sounds useful. the more arms to poor me drinks sound good. I hope you have reached 10000 words by now.
