"I'm supposed to be running the machine, but I'm a goddamn cog!" is how I'll describe my work from now on

Ok but the air conditioner thing? the noisy-noise that sounds like music thing?

it's a thing, and it's actually kind of cool.

I spent one summer listening to what sounded like a middle-manager holding a staff meeting every time I turned the fan on.

Now it's random music. Much better.

>listening to nin

>hear a new layer to song ive relistened to over and over

>"wow i cant believe i never noticed this before! i wonder what kind of synth he used. its very forboding in a specific way only nin can achieve"

Evolving Role of Middle Managers – More Coaching – Asrar Qureshi’s Blog Post #998

[ossie50]

What's up with middle managers?

There has been a lot written (and shared) about the importance, or even need for middle managers. That was pre-pandemic because the response to covid in the form of lockdowns has triggered a seismic shift in the perception of, and need for the role. Prior to 2020 I was reading articles suggesting that the role was redundant as people, when they know what to do, will get on with it. I’m not…

Steph's Year of Recovery

So! Danny noticed that a new face had made it's way into town. Two new faces actually, an older lady known as Dr Leslie, and a girl about his age called Steph.

He first met them when he was at the hospital for one of his parents. They had stood too close to an explosion again, and he met them while he was in the waiting Area.

Dr Leslie was a strict but obviously caring older woman, who seemed to be the one taking care of Steph as a kind of maternal figure, or maybe more like an Aunt. She greeted him simply and then walked away to talk with the Secretary, leaving him to talk to Steph.

Steph was a blond girl in a Wheelchair, and he could see bandages piking out of her clothes as he talked to her. She explained that she had been in an Accident a few weeks ago that left her wheelchair bound for a while, and that she had come to Amity for their surprisingly good Medical Centers.

He and Steph got along really well, and by the end of it he asked her for her Number so they could continue talking later. They stayed in touch, and when she was finally permitted to leave the Hospital, he introduced her to his friends. They all got along like a House on Fire, both figuratively and in one memorable case very literally (Vlad had pissed them off okay!)

Eventually Steph recovered enough that she moved from a Wheelchair to Crutches, and their shenanigans got even more chaotic (Vlad hadn't even pissed them off, this time was just for fun)

The only thing Danny could complain about was the fact that Steph was hiding something from them.

She said that she had been in an Accident a while ago, which was why they had come to Amity in the first place. But Danny knew it was more than that.

He could sense lingering traces of Death coming from her after all.

...

Steph honestly loved her current life.

Sure she had lost everything, her home, her health, her friends, her life, but she had gained new things too! Like Danny and the Gang! They were honestly some of the best friends she had ever had, and for some reason they just clicked with her instantly.

Danny was interesting and funny, Sam was vegan and a badass, Tucker was smart and witty, they all fit with her personality perfectly! It almost felt like she bad been friends with them for years. (She ignored the way her heart skipped a beat when she saw them)

But she still couldn't shake the sense that they were hiding something from her.

She knew it had something to do with the Ghost Problem in the town. And wasn't that a kicker, there was a whole Supernatural Ghost Outbreak in this Town and nobody knew about it. Dr Leslie had said that Amity was off the map enough to hide from Bruce, but she hadn't mentioned it was hidden from the Justice League itself!

Danny, Sam, and Tucker definitely knew more about it than they let on however. Whenever a Ghost Attack would happen, at least one of them would rush off with some practiced excuse and return after the Ghost Attack was over all dirty. She could guess what was going on, and she really didn't like it.

(This had killed her, she had died doing what they were doing, she didn't want to lose them)

Eventually she had to confront them, coincidentally on the same day they decided to confront her.

"Are you Vigilantes?" / "Did you die?"

"..."

"What?" / "What?"

Bayer Hierarchy Structure Shakeup – Asrar Qureshi’s Blog Post #943

[shaadowmilkcookie]

One of Shadow Milk’s many prop replicas of himself, left behind. Even though the eyes are forever staring straight into the distance… Oddly enough, you still feel like you’re being watched.

But surely, though, it won’t hurt to take it home and touch up the colours, right? :)

Personally I do think Darkwing was acting on his own when he tossed Orion and D-16 into the lowest sub-level.

If Sentinel wanted to punish two miners, he'd just do it. Getting demoted was common for lower class bots, it even happened to Elita. No one would blame Sentinel, he was idolized. Even Orion, the rebel, seemed totally prepared to accept a punishment.

I think Sentinel was telling the truth about mining production being up and was planning a little propaganda tour for D-16 and Orion. And when they disappeared he shrugged and said they died of their injuries because it was the first excuse he thought of.

So basically Darkwing accidentally kicked off a revolution and civil war.
