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.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I have at least one coworker who needs some remedial potty-training.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have an assload of copying to do. I have a crate of all of Tim's work (except Angel season three!!!) and grabbed a bunch of scripts to have him sign for the drawing at cash for the crew.

I figure two each of what I've got.

When I think about it, five years ago I would have felt like the luckiest fangirl in all the world to have such a treasure sitting in the hallway.

Right now, it's just a pain in the ass.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

as long as you stay away from the sweater vest, we're good

I've been looking for a cool black one. Or argyle.

Also, I can't get enough cable knit

ME EITHER!! I LOVE cable knit sweaters!

I have a new love going on. Denim trousers. I'm wearing them today and I swear to all that is Old Navy, if I could buy 30 more pairs of them, I would.

I'm wearing them with the aforementioned cable knit cardigan.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Dude, I must sound like the youngest person in the world on the phone. Why do I make perfectly normal calls and ask perfectly professional questions and get people to say things like, "That'll be $75/hr including travel time, young lady." How young a lady am I, peeps?

...

Possibly it's to do with the fact that I keep using terms like "dude" and "peeps"? Although I didn't do that on the phone, I swear.

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

How young a lady am I, peeps?

Since I haven't seen you since the Chicago F2F, you're still that young.

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

Denim trousers--just a way to get around a no-jeans policy, whether implicit or explicit? Discuss.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had to give a subordinate a Talking To about her denim trousers, because of our no-jeans policy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

When I first started here, it was a Business Casual dress code.

I have since changed that. I try not to wear jeans everyday, but I still do about once or twice a week.

The funny thing is, I miss having a Professional dress code. I seem to work better whilst wearing a suit.

I'm the only non-science person who wears jeans here almost every day.

I'm also the only one who can routinely be found in a bunny suit checking labels on hydrofluoric acid, so I feel like no one gives a crap. Sometimes I feel bad about it though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Totally a way to get around a no-jeans policy.
