During a week in which so much is going wrong for our Buffistas, I offer this little slice of awesomeness. [link]
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Shrift! Those fucking disease raddled fuckholes!
I hate hate hate them for evilly squeezing documentation out of you before they canned you, and then without severance. What fuckery.
As someone who has been both laid off and fired, I will note that now is a good time to file for unemployment and do some writing (while you're job hunting).

Best part of that prank?
The then Dean of Caius, the late Rev Hugh Montefiore, had an inkling who was responsible and sent a congratulatory case of champagne to their staircase, while maintaining in public he knew nothing of the culprits.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Exactly!!! Because Dana is moving to Washington State!! It's a SIGN!!! doooooo eeeeeeeet!
Though that would be awesome, I'm pretty sure shrift is attached to Chicago. Like, emotionally, not physically.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Best part of that prank?
I was totally going to say the same thing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, hell, shrift. What utter bullshit. But, yeah, what Frank said: it's going to be even more brute hell for the handful of people who are left doing everyone else's job. If there's no severance for any of you, there'll definitely be no goodies of any sort for those poor bastards.
Just, FUCK. What a weaselly, nasty, toad-licking pack of rabid assholes. I'm so sorry.
Though it must be conceded that shrift in Seattle would be an awe-inspiring thing to behold.

Shrift can't leave The Empires! She has to go to all their concerts!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
shrift, that's monstrous, nay I suspect nefarious with the documentation project.
I'm home undriveable today. I thought I'd broken it last night by taking way too much meds, but NSM. And for some reason my left knee has swollen huge and I can't walk properly. I think I have to take the anger-causing meds. Will have to watch the tone of my work emails carefully.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Shrift.
Well executed pranks rock!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
