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.

hwæt

I voted during my lunch break today!

Also, my boss's boss just emailed us, after getting some clarification about an issue he was harping us about, and said, “Looks like there was some confusion...” Yeah, nice use of the passive voice there.

Our wings are not tired

Jessica that's so cool about the musical. The resident sound engineer at that theatre is a friend and former student of mine!

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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I hate that I love working east coast hours. It’s so much nicer than my usual schedule, where I wake up and immediately have meetings and am frantic to catch up on emails.

I've been on the west coast for like three days and the mad scramble to catch up at the beginning of the day is so stressful.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

At a couple of different points in my let's call it a career I worked on east coast time while in California, starting the day at 6 AM to be able to meet with people or whatever. In some ways it was nice, having some afternoon time to run errands before school let out even, or go to my second or third jobs as needed, but in a maybe deeper way, of course, it meant being in the office at 6 am every day and that was pretty rough. I can kind of fake being a morning person for a while if I need to, but really I would like to sleep 16 hours a day and any regular Being Awake schedule is going to be oppressive

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, Midnight Burger people (that's just Jen and -t, I think), I hope you're listening to (or plan to listen to) Welcome to the Horizon, because the S1 finale just did a thing, and then in the middle of that thing, did a THING, and then there's a post-credits scene* that takes the THING and runs with it. O_o

*(Post-credits scene in the sense that the theme music plays for a minute or less, and then the scene happens. There is nothing after the long-ass part at the end where Joe reads all the Patreon supporter names. I refuse to listen to that.)

Ha, I do listen to all that! Well, I let it keep playing and the sounds go in my ears, presumably. All those names are weirdly hypnotic. But I am also sticking to my one episode a day schedule so I am still in season 3 for a couple more weeks? I think? And might know what you are talking about three weeks after that? I should put it on my calendar to come back to this post then…super intrigued by the THING

Yes! I just listened to it this afternoon! Such a great ride WttH is -- wow, thats a familiar inutialism, ha! (Also, I think Eldin is my current favorite.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I've listened to the first one, have the page bookmarked, but haven't found time to continue, yet.

Yeah I am way more of a morning person than I used to be but I am still never going to be someone who wants to start work at 6am ever.
