Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Plei, that sounds...interesting.

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

I had plum hair, once or twice. It wasn't all that, and the world would still have been in danger.

I have a silver shirt -- maybe I could try that. Last time I wore it I ended up matching the room decor quite precisely, so it's been in traumatised retirement for a while.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have blue hair, but no silver v-neck. So bereft!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The faciliator shouldn't be the note-taker, FYI.

I had a French teacher like that. She also was in the early stages of dementia, and didn't always know which of the languages she spoke was the one being taught that day.

She was Dutch, with serious WWII related PTSD, and taught German as a way of working through her anger at the Nazis.

Eek! That sounds horrible.

Where's the fun in making up the future if you can't make people look both cool and hot??

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Perhaps you'd be better at it if you had plum hair, and/or a silver uniform.

I'd like both, please. Can my silver uniform be a miniskirt and can I have silver knee-high boots with a black stripe up the front? Thx.

I also expect our space defenders in the next decade to be kickin' back in Dockers.

But first they have to move away from navy or alarming orange flight suits....

Your clothing just isn't always nice to you, is it, ita?

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

Can my silver uniform be a miniskirt and can I have silver knee-high boots with a black stripe up the front?

Only if you post pictures.

Maybe you could pose while holding a futuristic UFO-destroying gun....

I'm not taking notes -- it's a project planning meeting, so task owners are responsible for writing about their own tasks. I'm responsible for making sure they're organised logically and systematically, without duplication.

And the entire topic of the meeting is something I know nothing about for a customer I know nothing about, and is full of acronyms that I can't expand (or pronounce, which means it's not really an acronym, but whatever).

Five minutes before I leave again.

No, and I'm not sure why.

Is this not why god invented flip charts? Granted, it's been a long time since I've been in a meeting.

Flip post-it charts stuck to the walls and desks with post it notes attached. And whiteboarding.

I'm going to die...
