You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

PERT is the one with the little boxes, right?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sometimes I hate "streamlining"...

At my old job (at the Uni), I ordered all the office supplies, etc on-line.

Currently (at the same uni), my boss tells me what she wants, I look it up in a catalolog, and give it to a woman who types it in.

Now, to streamline, I have to give it to the admin assistant to the director who will give it to the woman who types it in.

Now, the online ordering system is set up so that you can have orderers and approvers, so why the fuck can't I place my order on-line and have the approver approve it!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, yeah. But I did remember that I faked one once with an org chart thingy-do.

God, I'm so technical.

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

PERT is the one with the little boxes, right?

Each box is an event or milestone, and is joined to other boxes to indicate tasks.

I have lunch in the freezer (a Trader Joe's bowl of summat). But I don't want it. I was so good last week--didn't eat out at lunch once. And I haven't had steak, or sushi, or a good burger in forever.

Hmm.

To recap: I knew this is what I want to create, was not certain of the name. Again, any better way to make one without specific software for it?

I'm assuming you don't have Visio, which is my tool of choice for boxes with connecting lines. I know people mock that stuff up in Word (and AFAIK, Project doesn't have an obvious way to do it, unless they're calling it something else) because I've had to edit them and it was brain hurty.

I thought Project made one for me last semester, but since I don't have access to it any more, I can't be sure. Will mock up, or just make a timeline in table form or something. Thanks.

What is even happening?

Scientology actively recruits celebrities (and treats them VERY differently than the average-joe members) because having celebrities say you're not a cult is good PR.

It's like the Democratic Party, only organized.

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

It's like the Democratic Party, only organized.

Now all we need is a charismatic leader...

Jess, wake up, sweetie. It's the middle of the afternoon. Jess. JESS!
