I went to Heated Rivalry trivia last night. The organizers (who also run other trivia nights around the city that I often go to with friends) underestimated the rabidness of fangirls. By a lot. I only got three questions wrong (one was about the exact wording of a quote, two were from episode 3 which I haven’t rewatched nearly as many times—the name of the Mexican place they don’t go to is never said on screen, only shown!) and I was tied with like six other teams for fourth place. With more teams tied for 3rd and 2nd. But it was still fun to be around a bunch of fans. (Some great team names too—winners were “Glasses on Socks off”)
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

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.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds so fun, meara!

My boss has finished his part of my annual appraisal and kicked it up the chain. As expected, the 66% weight of the company wide goal on profitability dominates the results. Not so expected: they are apparently saying that our almost meeting the goal (of decreasing our losses) exceeded expectations. Which is nice but confusing. I still think we will not get raises this year, but who knows?
