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.

If I only had a brain...

And the science is utter crap, and we all know by now that the diagnosis at :15 is (A) wrong and (B) calculated to make the patient worse, usually in a manner involving body fluids.

Would Cuddy want to save a less brilliant doctor?

Hell, no. He's a prima donna. You only survive as a prima donna if you have the chops to back it up. (In my imaginary world, la la la.)

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

I've certainly worked with enough tolerated prima donnas to find the situation plausible

I'm not calling it implausible (I did say I hated it in real life too) -- I'm calling it unpleasant. And unenjoyable.

The org structure that AmyLiz is questioning -- yah, that does seem implausible.

I'm guessing he's the longtime best friend that Betsy is referring to, if it's her you're asking.

Swouncing

But in those moments where I remember my time is finite (and that I can't stop entropy), he goes by the wayside

Yay ita for combining the topics of conversation!

I don't have anything on topic to say other than: What Gud Said regarding the physics.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hooooooly Cow.

I think the woman in the seat next to me is having a breakdown of some sort. She's all rambling and paranoid and I have ZERO idea what to do.

We started the same day, she's only been here two months, nobody knows her really. And I don't want to get her in trouble.

She doesn't sound like she'd hurt herself. I suggested she take her lunch and walk and get some air but that was mostly to get her away from me so I could panic in peace.

What the hell do I do?

Wow. Someone's died. Well, duh. I mean someone on a co-worker's project has died, and she's flipping out on the phone. I want to go get tea, but daren't until I find out who.

I could be a less nosy person.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Trudy, if she's scaring you that much, I'd give someone in HR a call. See if someone can talk to her. She just might need the help.

Because books.

Like, truly incoherent, not in touch with reality?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I enjoy watching House as a character far more than I'd enjoy being in the same building with him as a real person. I think the show's explained at least part of why he gets as much slack as he does, especially in the episode Three Stories.

For me, House falls somewhere between Mal kicking the badguy into the turbine and early season Spike. I wouldn't want to hang with pre-chipped Spike but he was a lot of fun to watch.
