Huh. Just got an official "don't gossip" Powerpoint presentation from higher management. Kind of a bummer. I don't gossip, myself, but I do love eavesdropping. I hope it doesn't have an impact on my entertainment.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

WTF did they need to do a Powerpoint presentation for? Did it have little cartoon employees gossiping? Maybe with a red circle with a line through it on top of the gossips?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're not supposed to gossip about work? Or about personal stuff? Either way, weird. And unlikely to have any impact at all.

I'm glad I only got it forwarded to me by my manager. But the CIO actually presented it to upper management. I'd have lost my job for laughing. A management concern ... way too much gossip going on.
Well, yeah. It's a problem when you employ humans and allow them to speak to each other.
It should have had pictures, though.

Trust my rage
[Vincent D'Nofrio] and Chris Noth are going to split the next season 11-11.
I actualy enjoy L&O from time to time, but the only way I would watch the CI one is if VDN was guaranteed not to be on. His character bugs me to much.

Where does VM talk happen? I have a theory (that I already posted at WC) that I want to share here.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think it happens here, just whitefonted.

OK. My new theory is that Duncan killed his sister accidentally during one of his epileptic fits and his parents (or just his Mom) decided to cover it up by convincing a dying man to take the blame (maybe by providing for his family?). I like this because there are no real bad guys -- it's much more morally complex.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Jon, that's a nice theory, but I'm not sure that's how epilepsy works. I think it's pretty rare that a fit causes harm to anybody besides the person having it, and most of that harm is "dude, you tried to hold him down? Why?"
Still, elegant solution.
I'll be curious to see what putting Logan into CI does, because the whole skill of the D'Onofrio character is knowing vast numbers of esoteric facts (like, modern German art and how motorcycles work and basically, anything the plot needs him to know). Logan on the original L&O was smart, but not especially booksmart. Should be a totally different vibe, I should think.
