The fires are fucking scary. Randomly, they've spent 3 days reseeding Griffith Park by helicopter.
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.
'Help'
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, I tried to resist, but cannot: "Tartlet. Tartlet. The word has lost all meaning."

Mmm, pie. The person who's hosting our Thanksgiving extravaganza is known far and wide for her pies. Her crusts are out of this world.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I live in this tiny three mile area these days, and only drive under freeways, not on them. If I'd still been working in Simi you'd bet I'd be aware of this stuff. But judging from the distribution I'll be breathing them anyway--and now I'm just remembering how dramatic last night's sunset was (for the last photo scavenger hunt I couldn't really get anything from my west-facing window, but last night the sky was smudged with reds and oranges big time).

Also, a public service announcement. People, exit interviews are not free-for-alls! We had someone leave this spring who was, legitimately, very frustrated with some things. And took the opportunity to vent, at length, to some of the higer-ups in my group.
And since then, I've heard from various sources that his new job ain't all that, and he'd been putting feelers out about coming back. Now comes news that he's left the new job entirely. And he's good, and we could really, really use him back around here.
Not a chance in the 'verse.
Idiot.

People really need to think twice before they talk. My most slam-y exit interview was still done with a lot of significant eye contact rather than actual venting!
Speaking of talking at work, I just ran into the CFO in the bathroom who said I "look really good," and I accepted her compliment on my outfit before I realized she was talking about my numbers. Har!

just catching up and wanted to say Corwood, I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

Yes, Corwood, what lisa said.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
exit interviews are not free-for-alls!
I've never been on the interviewing side of exit interviews (thank doG!), but it seems fairly obvious that there's a difference between "there were some issues that might have gone differently, and that contributed to my decision to take the other offer" and "y'all suck and I hate you!"

I've never had an exit interview. And I hope not to, because I'd be very torn.
