I am really hoping that someone jumps in at the last minute to purchase the site, even if the full-time employees don't come with it. I mean, the forums alone have just such a massive amount of fandom history.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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.

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

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Huh, I wonder if OTW could help.

I still use twop for mainlining recaps since I don't have tv anymore. I don't use the forums, but it's upsetting it's going away on its own merits, let alone for Jess' DH's sake.

Seriously. Isn't Ho-Yay from TWOP? And on a personal note, I always got a certain number of fic readers from the TWOP boards, even though none of them ever commented.

I got more than $32.00 in the settlement policy so I purchased The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook . . . something I've wanted for a while.

I got to work this morning before anyone else on my floor and the lights were all off. Trained from 8:30am to 1pm, then went into meetings. Thankfully my 3:30pm was cancelled, because I have a peer review I need to write before I can leave.
Oh, my god, somebody tell me to write this peer review so I can get out of the office, buy booze, and go home to celebrate the fact that I don't have to get up at 6:30am tomorrow and I don't have any meetings!
Ugh, peer review: why so difficult?

I also have a new work tablet to play with, but I don't get to until I write this peer review. Booze & toys! And am I writing that peer review?

Peer review, maximized for corporate buzzword bingo:
Person X has been a key stakeholder in project blah. They are a clear communicator, and always strive to create strong cross-team alliances. Person X is a team player, and will lean in when there are shifts in project priorities or direction.
