Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Then no Space Cat.

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

Can charisma be learned?

I've been looking at people recently, one in particular, getting away with the most ludicrous shit through sheer force of charm and a great smile. Not anything at my expense, nor anything I think I should be able to get away with, so no skin off my nose.

But it cracks me up and slightly sobers me that 80% of the people in the room would get smacked down or shut out for the very same sentences -- they just don't have the infectious delivery that sells the audience on the outrageousness.

When do you officially not return? Or is it handwavy?

I have the bookcases strapped to the wall. For things like the TV and the dishes, I put the rubber shelf stuff under them so they are less likely to become projectiles.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My bestest friend tells me often that she's certain anyone else would be fired for some of the shit I say.

I am so damned charismatic.

I am officially here until 6/30. I just want to be ready to walk out at a moment's notice should an offer come in.

Sounds like a good plan. Hopefully, you get to do that soon.

Going home. Where I really need to clean. Really. Must.

Sigh.

don't.want.to.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Sara, you put in hours for me, and I'll clean your house.

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

I think I get away with a fair amount at work, but nothing of any weight. I mock myself as often as I mock any other person, and I'm careful to be sufficiently extravagant with my words as to make it look like I can't possibly mean it.

Not so much charisma, as I want to have a vaguely ita-spaced shape carved out to play in.

"Oh, that's just ita!" will work just fine.
