Did anyone watch Knights of Prosperity, last night?

I thought it was much better than last week, although still more typically sitcom-y, than the first two episodes. I laughed at the scene where they were going to take a vote, and the conversation devolved into administrivia about whether it would need to be unanimous, or a majority, etc. etc. etc. Then I remembered bon bon's friend writes for it, and laughed a little more.

I do love that first bathroom, the one that's above the article. Gorgeous.

I do, too (if the urinal is taken out).

I should say, it's a friend-of-someone Bob knows on the writing staff. I didn't love last night's-- there were good moments, like the unicorn, but the writing seemed rushed-- no one considered that the briefcase was *not* filled with $$$? And the big reveal was that it was all a test? Isn't that what someone would have assumed? I'll keep watching it though. I think the bones are there, it just needs more time to settle in.

I woke up instantly alert and well-rested, thought "UH OH!"

Add to that "The room's a lot brighter than it should be--oh, crap, sunlight!"

What you said about the briefcase. Who tests an unknown with 150,000 real dollars ? And yeah, that they didn't get it was a test really stretched it for me. But the whole conversation about voting tickled quite hard. I wondered, for a moment, if your Bob's friend had ever lurked in Bureaucracy.

We no longer have a receptionist on our floor for some reason, and I haven't been able to find a good rumor as to why. And the other receptionist on the floor got tapped to replace a long time employee who apparently left/got laid off/for some reason is gone, baby, gone!

Oh, the intrigue!

So we have absolutely no receptionist on this floor, which means they have locked the doors so only people with keycards can get in. This is problematic, since many, many customers come in to do business with a big department on our floor.

And guess where the doors are?

Right. Behind. My desk.

Of course. Does an alarm go off if you prop the door open? Our floor has an alarm, and they had to send out an e-mail the other day reminding people NOT to set the alarm off, because they were getting so many false alarms, it was endangering our alarm permit.

Just when I think I can't be any fonder of Sir Ian McKellen... [link]

I don't think an alarm will go off, but I'd need to get actual permission to prop open the doors. I won't be doing that, because then I'd have people wandering around the office knocking on my cube walls or shouting "Hello! Hello? HELLO." because they don't know where to go.

I'd rather listen to the futile sound of the rattling doors.

I thought I might have more motivation to be at work today (or, really, be awake) than I did yesterday, but I don't.

Oh well.
