[Hoarsely:]Two weeks. I can think of other things I'd rather be doing with two weeks' vacation time - but I'm not going to complain. How many people can say they sympathize with Rip Van Winkle, if only on a smaller scale ( Read more... )

[Long silence, then:]

I'm listening.

[And yet another long pause.]

Neil, I don't have all the details, but I know you were a victim - and that in itself excuses you, I guess.

As for your decisions, well. I fell for it, and that's my own fault. I should have been paying attention to your personality and the situation. I know better.

So...we're square. You don't owe me anything.

Hey, you're up!

Check under your bed. [There should be a tranquillizer gun there. At least it damn well better be or Kay's gonna punt someone into the nearest star.]

[Private] whattheytellyou April 3 2011, 16:04:02 UTC

You found it? That's great.

And you're not going to tell me who had it, are you?

[Private] most_feared April 3 2011, 16:05:32 UTC

Nope. This time it's open knowledge. My inmate took a stash of weapons because apparently he thinks he's a squirrel preparing for the apocalypse.

[There's a long pause, then she begins to laugh.]

Jesus.

Welcome back to the land of the waking.

Private whattheytellyou April 3 2011, 16:30:54 UTC

Thanks.

Everything all right?

Private mrs_persson April 3 2011, 16:34:02 UTC

Well...

You missed a bunch of us getting turned into small children, during the course of which adventure O'Brien decided it was high time to indoctrinate a few of the little ones. Not me-apparently he decided I was a lost cause.

So yes, there are a few people who are going to be giving him the stink eye or worse while he's on punitive custodial duty for the next fortnight. Any help I can get in keeping "worse" from happening is good.

Private whattheytellyou April 3 2011, 16:38:42 UTC

I'd be happy to help.

...I guess what they say is true. Even Big Brother has to catch them while they're young.

Good morning! ...Now, what does "great" actually mean?

[Private] whattheytellyou April 3 2011, 16:37:07 UTC

Great means...great. Physically, I feel rested and ready to go back to work.

[Private] notarrowette April 3 2011, 16:42:29 UTC

I'm glad to hear that. How about emotionally? Those comas are always strange to wake up from.

[Private] whattheytellyou April 3 2011, 16:44:57 UTC

Disoriented. I'm just trying to pick up the pieces. You know.

How're you doing?

Thread 11

Private thegooddrjones April 3 2011, 18:04:42 UTC

That's fine. And I'm fine as well, other than my stint of being seven.

Private whattheytellyou April 3 2011, 18:25:55 UTC

Seems like I missed some fun.

Then again, I can't close my eyes and point without finding someone who had a poor childhood around here, so maybe we'd all do better with a Golden Years or Retirement flood.

Private thegooddrjones April 4 2011, 01:55:25 UTC

Good lord, could you imagine how grumpy we'd be as a group were we all retiring age? It'd be horrible.

Private whattheytellyou April 4 2011, 05:00:58 UTC

I don't know about you, but I intend to be doing exactly what I do now.

With hearing aids and a cane, maybe, but nevertheless.
