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.
What does it mean, that it's the "sleeper"?
I'd define it as sort of "under the radar." It's a book or film or TV show that didn't get a lot of hype, maybe produced by new talent that no one knows what to expect from them, and the audience responds to it in a surprisinly strong and positive way.
Also used in conjunction with "hit"- it's the sleeper hit of the season!
My jobs have generally been officially 9-5, with nasty looks heaped upon people (exempt people) who leave at 5-ish.
I am now at the point where I have too many things that all need to be done OMG RIGHT AWAY, so I can't deal with any of them. AWESOME.

I'm inclined to do the easiest, but it's not nearly the most important/first due.
In the automotive world, a "sleeper" is a car that looks ordinary and pedestrian, like something your grandparents might drive, but in reality is a powerful, high-performance car. The fun part of driving a sleeper is pulling up to sporty cars at stoplights and then blowing them away by out-accelerating them....
My salon uses aveda and about half the time I end up having to wash my hair within a few hours of a cut. It doesn't translate to pain, just....extreme annoyance, even as I logically like the scent. It just starts making me really irritable.
Allyson, please schedule your booking with Jon Stewart now.
Oh my, how I like the sound of that...
Allyson, please schedule your booking with Jon Stewart now.
Your confidence makes me giggle. I have none of those expectations. I'm just stoked that the firefly fans are giving me a little table space at Wondercon to put out flyers.
My office jobs have been either 9 - 5 (with 1 hour lunch) 8 - 5 (with a 1 hour lunch) or 8:00 - 4:30 (with a half hour lunch). At my university, there is no office (except medical departments which see patients) open past 5:00, and in many cases offices close at 4 or 4:30 (bursar's, registrar's, parking).
YAY ALLYSON! I just happen to have a bottle of champagne that needs to be opened...IJS.
I just pre-ordered Allyson's book!
Thanks, tommy, Nutty and Nora! Your explanations both make sense and make me happy.
Kristin! I can HappyBirthday you to your font!
