Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

I'm a little afraid to ask how you discovered this.

Harmlessly, considering. It's just been picking crap up off my desk. Which then made me go on a search for metal I was pretty sure hadn't been exposed to a magnet, and lo! It can carry safety and bobby pins. Weird.

It's nice to know I've been making my tea right all this time

I've been making my fairly wrong -- I don't have any teapots small enough, dammit. But I have one of those filter baskets, and I like it a lot.

why Honduras?

Because it's gotten the most and heartiest recommendations.

What's in Roatan?

SCUBA diving.

I don't get a party after all? And nobody told me?

Is this something where you can just show up to the place and sit around sullenly until someone makes amends?

Or perhaps you want to do something less childish. That bites though, if it's anything other than a typing oversight.

Then today I looked at the Daily To-Do and the party has been taken off the list.

Man, that's just cold. I mean, if the meetings are necessary, okay, but they should at least have said something to you.

Maybe they just moved the meeting and forgot to update the list?

Because I was curious, I googled blackberry and magnet.

Apparently, they can use one as an off switch. Though it is really strange to scan the descriptions of cases and see the mention of a magnet followed by exhortations to store your credit cards with it. Um.

Kate, what Consuela said (also, hi, Suela! Are you able to go on b.org from work again?).

ita, when Honduras?

Huh. I just did that google, sara, and it talks about the magnet in the belt clip, which answers a question I've had since they gave me the puppy. Cool.

However, I haven't seen anything yet about the handset itself being magnetic.

eta:

ita, when Honduras?

First half of the year, I think.

Then today I looked at the Daily To-Do and the party has been taken off the list. So I guess... I don't get a party after all?

That sucks, Kate. You'd better get that party! I'll be grumpy on your behalf if they called it off with nary a word.

In mememe news, I'll listening to the blues and desparately trying not to bitchslap my clients and my account executives. Or my coworker who put in his two weeks, and thus keeps taking random days off to use up his (deserved, but still!) personal and vacation time before he leaves. Like today.

Is this something where you can just show up to the place and sit around sullenly until someone makes amends?

It was just going to be in our office, or possibly in the lunchroom. I suppose I could be sullen at lunch.

Maybe they just moved the meeting and forgot to update the list?

Nope, I just checked with the co-worker who keeps the daily list. There's an office-wide (i.e. not just our dept.) holiday lunch party on Friday, and apparently my boss decided that would be "enough".

Eh. I'm not really upset about it, but I still think it was poorly handled. Plus, now I have to buy my lunch today!
