I am really hoping that someone jumps in at the last minute to purchase the site, even if the full-time employees don't come with it. I mean, the forums alone have just such a massive amount of fandom history.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Huh, I wonder if OTW could help.

I still use twop for mainlining recaps since I don't have tv anymore. I don't use the forums, but it's upsetting it's going away on its own merits, let alone for Jess' DH's sake.

Seriously. Isn't Ho-Yay from TWOP? And on a personal note, I always got a certain number of fic readers from the TWOP boards, even though none of them ever commented.

I got more than $32.00 in the settlement policy so I purchased The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook . . . something I've wanted for a while.

I got to work this morning before anyone else on my floor and the lights were all off. Trained from 8:30am to 1pm, then went into meetings. Thankfully my 3:30pm was cancelled, because I have a peer review I need to write before I can leave.
Oh, my god, somebody tell me to write this peer review so I can get out of the office, buy booze, and go home to celebrate the fact that I don't have to get up at 6:30am tomorrow and I don't have any meetings!
Ugh, peer review: why so difficult?

I also have a new work tablet to play with, but I don't get to until I write this peer review. Booze & toys! And am I writing that peer review?

Peer review, maximized for corporate buzzword bingo:
Person X has been a key stakeholder in project blah. They are a clear communicator, and always strive to create strong cross-team alliances. Person X is a team player, and will lean in when there are shifts in project priorities or direction.
