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.

I would like to have the sense to not make routine vet appointments for 8 am on a Saturday morning. Maybe next time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Private Eyes is back in my head, thanks to James Roday.
Hee. I'm glad I got a heads up from Twitter via TWoP, or I would have skipped right past it (and not DVRed White Collar to catch the longer version).

Yuck, Sophia. I don't have any advice one way or the other re: rebuttal, but I do wish you the best with all this. How frustrating and unsettling.

Separately, I have a move date! I'm going to be a Baltimorista as of a week from Sunday. Whee! Packin', packin', packin'... keep them doggies packin'.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thank you for the advice. I have already spoken to the theatre and told them that I would need to quit if things didn't change, and Nigel has said that he is committed to doing what I need to keep my regular job happy, even if he has to find money to hire extra workers.
I think, as an assistant, I'm leaning toward Trudy-- I could have been fired right that second if my boss wanted to, and she did end the conversation saying she wanted a fresh start and for us to work together as a "salt and pepper" team. Part of my boss's issue is that I am acting like an equal, not an assistant, so I don't want to rock the boat by being even more assertive.

We get Jen! WOOHOO! And not far from me, either! I'll have to introduce you to the joys of my little hood.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I would like a bagel.
I would like more bourbon and ginger.
I'm up for another martini but aside from that I am, for the first time since Monday evening, actually pretty good.
Vibing hard for you, Sophia, and everyone's given lots of good thoughtful advice, so I'm just going to nod and point and say, "What they said." And I'm so glad that the theatre people recognize the strain they're putting on you and your regular job, and that they're trying to find ways to lessen it. And I already didn't like your work nemesis, but now I really don't like her.

Hey, on Flash Forward, do you think we are supposed to like Mark Benford? Not just root for him, but like him as a person ?
Because I kind of don't. He's interesting, but not very likeable.

That would be awesome, and I can't wait.
It's actually happening. Finally. I will be only fifteen minutes away from work again, which will be nice. The commute's been fine, really, but I won't miss it much. So looking forward to getting to know the city, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure, Perkins. I used to, but I don't anymore.
