So Jay was involved in casting, even though he didn't write or direct, right?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Customer who want to know how things work and want to be helpful are a good thing. Keep telling yourself that.
But stop making "helpful" hints when you don't know what the hell you're talking about!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They also asked for references.
I feel like I'm getting really good at asking questions when being interviewed, when I was stymied by the principle last job search. Simple things like "What components make up the project team?" and more specific-to-the-job things like "What makes this deployment attempt more likely to succeed than the first two failures" make me sound interested and like I've been listening, I hope.
Fingers crossed. The background check from now is so that I could start ASAP if they choose me.

"What makes this deployment attempt more likely to succeed than the first two failures"
That's a terrific question, goes to their processes and shows interest in how they manage things.

It opens the kimono.
Or closes it. Or puts it on a hanger.
Look, I don't know what that means in business-speak. I just wanted to sound hip.

I am SO GLAD I have never heard the kimono thing at work. I would not be able to resist laughing in the person's face. And then giving them the side eye for the rest of the meeting.
Go ita!!!!!

I am SO GLAD I have never heard the kimono thing at work.
I did at the last job, from the horrible Dolores Umbridge-type manager. I raised my eyebrows and said "WHAT? EXUSE ME?"
True to form, she acted like she didn't hear me.
Go ita! That's very exciting!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Successful bike ride, woohoo! Shifted easily so I think my half-assed maintenance might be good enough and I successfully installed my new lights and phone holder beforehand. That's two workouts in one day (I swam before work) and I am not all tuckered out!

I was driving home tonight, and a thought about roads came to me. Followed by another thought, followed by a worldview, followed by characters. When I got to a stop light I scrounged for an envelope and a pen to scribble notes before they could get away.
I was afraid of what the writing would do, whether my brain wouldn't let that part free. But it's still there. And perhaps a bit stronger, with all this experience to work from.
