I understand she's a Polanski apologist, and...no
oh NO.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's second or third-hand information from more than one source, and I could be wrong. I hope I am. But the possibility does spoil my delight in her. I need to track it down definitively.

Jilli, I love how they always hold those kinds of meetings at the end of the day.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Googling seems to confirm that Swinton was one of many Hollywood people who signed a petition in support of Polanski.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That is disappointing about Swinton.
Our big sale at the library bookstore is Saturday. So, of course. It is beyond slow tonight. Even though we already have all the sale stuff marked.

There were some loud-ish exclamations invoking God on my part.
My exclamations at that point would have invoked the mighty "FUCK" and "NO." Gah, Teppy!

Ouch, Teppy. I think alcohol is definitely in order.
I'm picking up Mexican take-out, and TCG is making margaritas.

Jilli,
I hope things are okay and going as well as could be expected. Hang in there. If you need an army of flamethrowers for back up, please do not hesitate. I have been itching to set something on fire.

Things went well. Okay, as well as it could. The meeting lasted all of 15 minutes, because I had let the HR munchkin know I was declining the PIP and wanted to take the job find option. Monday will be the meeting to go over the process and the legal doc. Umbridge already has a transition plan in place to hand off my work, surprise surprise.. She's sad that things went like this, because she really likes me, thinks I have a lot of potential, and wants me to stay at the company.
She encourages me to work remotely as much as possible for the time, and that I should frame this, if asked, in terms of taking a short leave because of health issues. I nodded a lot and said, "That is an option, yes."
I'm going in at 11 tomorrow to check email, go to lunch with the UX team, and Be Present.
I feel relieved and FAR less stressed.
