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.

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

That sounds like a miracle for LA.

It so is. To be anywhere in the area yet remotely inhabitable (which theirs is much more than, FTR) it's a sign that lori might be the chosen one to save all mankind.

Or at least SoCal. Hopefully not just the Valley.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hey lori! Turns out, a woman I ride the train with every day (er, well, used to before my schedule got switched) lives in the front duplex of the set next to you.

Toddson, I am in no way an employment law specialist, but I'd say that you shouldn't be bound by new policies without being given notice. Changing the handbook on the network and assuming people are reading is not adequate notice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

One that hits me especially is that he announced any staff who leave will only be paid for five days of accumulated leave time - anything over that will be lost.

It's up to state law. You definitely can't do that in California (because of laws about vacation accrual - not about changing the manual). East Coast states are more business friendly about the ability to cut-off accrued vacation, but what he's doing doesn't sound very kosher.

Forget that, man. I'm not taking on all that extra work!

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

Per se, or a word I don't know?

Per se, spelled wrong. This is why I should not post and eat at the same time.

Wacky, Aimee. We hardly know our neighbors, but we're okay with that.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

This is why I should not post and eat at the same time.

See, this is something there should be a word for!

Neighbors can be overrated.
