What's with the break, anyway, Plei? Does it just mean you have to take 100 days off from working for the Evil Empire? Or from working anywhere? t /OT
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I know the lost income will suck, but I just keep thinking about how good 100 days off would feel. Got any plans?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Break good.
So why do The West Wing and Sports Night go so well together? As fanfiction, and archives, and the like.

Find a job? I don't have one waiting for me at the end of the hundred. I'd have to find a new one. I do plan on going and seeing relatives, and we're going to LA in May.
I will also be writing.

Now--why are you getting/taking 100 days off?

Because a long, long time ago, some temps sued and ruined it for the rest of us? Or, you know, because large companies relied too much on contingent staff, so time limits had to be imposed. Take your pick of the two, truth is somewhere in the middle, as always.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was that the brouhaha about using temps like regular staff?

Gods, I worked at a company like that, they never hired people for new positions, they always got temps and if they liked the person then they'd hire them--though not necessarily for the job they were doing. All jobs were only publicized in house, unless it was something highly specialized.
