Natter 55: It's the 55th Natter
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.
Are those writers not unionized?
The writers of ANTM went on strike for this reason, can't recall the resolution. They were led by djb, TWoP recapper-turned-writer.
I have decided that restaurants which offer burritos should also put a nap on the menu.
"I'd like a chicken burrito, a coke, and a 15-minute nap after I'm finished eating."
Suzi, if they are doing coke a telltale giveaway would be a sudden increase in paranoia and a bad temper. However, speaking from an HR perspective, an employer has to respect an employee's personal privacy. A company can only act on an employee's job performance and not on why. If they are nodding off at their desk, we can act on that fact, but if they do their work, it wouldn't matter if a friend came in and told us they did a zillion dollars worth of heroin a day. Make sure that you or anyone who has to work with this person documents bad behavior, so you have a list of dates and events. Ask HR what they need to know and they might have suggestions for you.

I suspect increasing hunger will force a solution....

Oh the other hand, I had a sudden increase in paranoia and a bad temper throughout my second pregnancy (while not on cocaine), so. Luckily I refrained from killing anyone, although it was touch and go with evil IT man there for a minute once.
Writing for reality shows isn't under the WGA's jurisdiction. They've been trying to change that, but haven't had much luck.
This sums it up pretty well. [link]
I have a new boiler! It is very shiny. And not leaking toxic fumes (I hope). However, what an expensive yet boring home improvement.
If life were fair, lisah, you'd get a free bathroom upgrade with that heater.
