I think it's a great team bonding tool.
It is. Totally.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My team updates (three people) often started with a reality TV roundup, mostly for the benefit of the one of us who worked from home -- I knew she appreciated the "water cooler" chit-chat.

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

I don't think we have anything in common like that in any of my teams. With the business users we drift to other topics, maybe travel, but we haven't gotten to entertainment. Frankly, after seeing the scant Netflix queue of the one guy, I'm in no rush to out myself.
The techie business analyst guy and I sometimes talk offscript about tech stuff, and he checked his phone and brought up a 3D version in some movie franchise I hate and he said "So you don't like science fiction?" I just told him they needed to make a 3D comic book movie and I'd be right there. But what I was really thinking was that he was days behind on the movie news. IO9 had broken it way before.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Today's lunch is TJs prepacked mango, red quinoa, and chicken salad, which has baby spinach and coconut chili dressing.
It's pretty awesome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, my god, that sounds good. Why have I never had access to a Trader Joe's?

I don't know, but now I am sad for you.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The National Weather Service (and by extension, the Weather Channel Web site) is now calling for at least a foot of snow in the DC area, starting mid-dayish Friday.
Ick.

I'm not going to be able to get to my hairdresser's until May, at this rate...

I just called 5 schools trying to set up appointments for 2 weeks from now. My accent is going to get so strong again.

For a change I can do a Ha! about the weather. It's 41 degrees here and sunny.
Of course, we won't have water come summer, but for now I'm happy.
