Scola just had to one-up me. Fantastic x-post though.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woo hoo, Steph!
How did you pay for it? Can you go back through your bank/cc statements?
Probably with a credit card I don't have any more. And I'm sure I don't have statements from 10 years ago. I'm hoping there's something in my "medical" files.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hooray, Steph!
I am working on a tv show today. I haven't found craft services yet and I'm getting kinda hungry.

Congrats, Steph!

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

Thank you for showing up and using your words. I love communication.
I am of the opinion that you don't show up at a client location (as a techie) in a T-shirt that is not your company logo. Homer Simpson speaking Japanese is not guaranteed appropriate wherever you go.
I need a transition from current boss/job to next week, and I haven't had one yet. I asked for one yesterday, and nothing. I asked again today, and scheduled for 90 minutes from now. I'm not sure why this is something I have to ask for, but I guess I'm not surprised it's down to the wire.
Girls and boys, when you're looking to leave, start at least lining up the loose ends. So once notice is given, things can close down gracefully. For the survivors.
::sigh:: In the past couple months I've broken an ankle, had a steroid/epidural wear off, toasted at TiVo HD/tablet/work laptop/home PC/various car components. I've flown my sister to CA, and paid for my ticket to JA. I've lost a boss, and I am sure I still have a job, I just don't know which one yet. I've been told my doctor will probably not be able to refill my painkiller prescription on time (I requested 2 weeks in advance--I'm not sure how much more proactive I can be without time travel) so I'm titrating down so I can last.
I am so fucking exhausted. I'm not sure when the metaphorical break comes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You must be in my neighborhood, aurelia, because ALL THE TV SHOWS have been shooting here the past few weeks.

Woo hoo, Steph!
I think we're about to need an ark.
We've had thunderstorms and flash flood warnings here, too. I got caught out in one the other day. It's been two days and those shoes STILL aren't fully dried out.

No, Tom, Chicago has a few of them. And some movies. Transformers has been very present in and around the loop for a while.
I'm actually on a sound stage, tucked back in a dimmer room where I have no idea what is happening. It's very glamorous.

If you're by Aon Center it's at Lake and Stetson.
