I of course feel bad about our own losing jobs with TWOP, but I'm also appalled at the idea of losing that much popular culture. I wonder if the Library of Congress web archive project or a university would take it on.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm hoping maybe if OTW can't save it, they might be able to bring in a university that's doing a lot of fandom preservation work, like the University of Iowa.

Sue, that's kind of hilarious.
The extent to which he goes to avoid acknowledging his demotion is amazing. We offer professional development training and when people finish the course they get a little certificate which he used to sign as director. When the new trainer showed him the redesigned certificate, he just made her remove his signature entirely, so he wouldn't have to give his title. Then he made up some BS lie about there being a new gov't standard and training certificates are no longer signed.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for him. And I have all new coworkers who don't know not to take what he says as true.

Our wings are not tired.
My cat and bunny paid no attention to each other whatsoever. Zoe is another matter altogether. She will rip my arm off to get near a bunny.

When I think of cats and rabbits, all I can think of Watership Down, and how dangerous the cats were in that...

I would like a Bigwig. "My chief rabbit told me to stay here." "*He* has a chief rabbit?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did tell the one about the time I got yelled at for smiling....

Because books.
Yeah, Switch brought a terrified, shaking baby bunny in the house once. We got it away from him, and I was amazed the poor little thing didn't die of shock or fear.
Why is the new mini-series of Rosemary's Baby set in Paris? A lot of the plot is a function of the NYC setting. Change makes me sad.
