Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet  

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Underpants gnomes.

Most famous for their business plan. (The business plan, of course, being what I was citing in the meeting.)

Reorg has happened. I'll be moving to a new role in a couple of months. I'll be reporting to a new manager based in NYC, so I may be bopping around Chelsea more often than I have in the past, which is never.

Because books.

That's like every business plan I've ever come up with, actually.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good news, shrift? Or at least not bad news?

Weird news. I'm going to miss my current team, but ultimately it'll probably be a good thing for my career. But I may be a team of one and having to define what my new role will be... which could be challenging and good? I may get to build out my own team in the future?

A lot of change and the unknown. But at least I don't have to move out of Chicago for now.

A little scary, but good!

Wow! That sounds exciting!

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

That's really cool, shrift. In the cool way. I do think that everything should result into a move to at least a tropical location, but I might also be missing some intermediate steps in my plan.

We just had someone on a meeting ask if it was procedure to send out email notifications to people affected by an internet outage. She got really thorough explanations from two people.

My terrifying all day meeting has been changed to two two hour meetings, and a new confusing hour meeting has been added to my schedule today. I'm a little hand-wavey and at a loss.

Heh. You posting that prompted me to check my work e-mail on my phone and sure enough, there's my notification of connectivity failure.

Still better than an all-day meeting, I hope?

What's important is what you decided to wear, you know.
