Rarity's rape-face when she says "Really, I insist" is terrifying.

@ceruleanspark Suited for Success again? NICE.

@astra :3 It's definitely my favourite episode. It has a bunch of my favourite quotes and my favourite musical number. Rarity's singing voice is just lovely.

@ceruleanspark There are some awesome lines in there. ("Give her time," is one I often seem to find ways to fit in.) I don't know if I'd say that it's my favorite episode, but it's close. Truth be told, I'd be hard-pressed to pick just one. As far as songs go, I actually like "Winter Wrap-Up" a bit better, but it's close. Rarity's singing voice IS beautiful. I frequently catch myself humming or singing both of them when I'm working. And, unfortunately, the second part of "The Art of the Dress" often runs through my head when I'm in project meetings. :p But, yes, late last week, I had to sort of hide myself with a laptop during lunch after a particularly diffcult morning at work, and watched that episode because, oh, I could so relate to Rarity, there. It was very therapeutic, and helped me get through the rest of the day.

@astra I also find I empathise strongly with AJ in Applebuck Season. Only there's noone to help me with my workload. ;_;

@ceruleanspark Yes, I know that feeling well. I actually have subordinates, theoretically, but no one actually reports to me. (Though this may be changing in a few months, if I play my cards right.) I've been making progress in getting people to follow my direction regardless of my lack of authority -- yay, "awesome" leadership skills -- but, still, though I do often get offers of assistance when things go crazy, the offers usually dry up the instant I try to accept them. Sort of like if, after AJ finally accepted Twilight's offer, Twilight suddenly turned around and said that she really would LOVE to help, but her ankle is suddenly hurting, so she can't buck trees.

@astra If AJ was doing my job, Applebuck season would end with Big Macintosh finding her hanging from the rafters of the barn. I don't have any coworkers who even understand what it is I do, let alone offer help or support me. Still, these ponies have been a huge help.

@eaglehooves I already had one breakdown. I seem to be well on course for a second, worse one.

@ceruleanspark That's not good. I'm here if you need to vent. I've seen how bad ponies can buck up computers.

@eaglehooves It's like Suited For Success and Applebuck Season at the same time only the only there's no happy ending.

@ceruleanspark I'm not sure what to say, you've obviously seen more of the world than I have. I'd just say not to give up hope on that happy ending, once you surrender is when stuff gets really bad.

@ceruleanspark Ohhh, ouch! I've been in that position before, and it's no fun at all. (Being stuck in a job without any support, or anyone around who even understands what you do, yet demands that you do it all RIGHT NOW and the way they want it, even if they don't even know what it is that they want. Not hanging from the rafters of the barn.) I do hope that things get better there, somehow. And that you're looking for better work. A job like that hardly seems holding onto. :( But no hanging from the rafters, unless you're dangling about by an arm or a leg and yelling, "WHEEEEEE!" :)

@mrdragon Hello, Mr. Dragon! I'm dealing with some problematic personalities today, but, otherwise, managing pretty well, all told! And how are you doing this evening?
Wednesday, 12-Oct-11 19:50:35 UTC from web-
mrdragon
@astra I'm doing mighty fine! Problematic personalities? Are you ok? I'd be happy to talk to if you want some pony to talk to at all.
Wednesday, 12-Oct-11 19:51:28 UTC from web-
astra
@mrdragon Oh, I'm fine. Problematic personalities are sort of par for the course, though some days are worse than others. Just a matter of work things through, and trying to keep from stepping on political -- sometimes in more than one context, though today it's just office politics and attorneys -- toes. Thank you for the offer, though! And I'm glad that you're having a good night over there. :)
Wednesday, 12-Oct-11 20:07:07 UTC from web-
mrdragon
@astra Ok, if you do ever need to talk or anything letme know at once. I've got quite some time free on my hands everyday should you ever need to just chat and be picked up ^.^
Wednesday, 12-Oct-11 20:08:18 UTC from web-
astra
@mrdragon Aw, thank you! :) I do appreciate the offer, and I do wander on here to scream and spit a bit, on rare occasion. Some work stuff here, though, I can't talk about out in public, for various legal and security clearance reasons. So, I have to keep my ranting to myself, in those cases, and find other avenues of stress relief, of which MLP:FiM is a big one lately. Unfortunately, it's one of the reasons I have little to no patience nor tolerance for disrepect and general horse-crap when I do get here. I come to places like this, sort of as an extension of MLP:FiM, in an attempt to get away from it for a bit, and hopefully get a few minutes to talk with people who are, y'know, nice. (Like you! :D) If I want petty, judgmental jerks, unrepentant dirtbags, stress and aggravation, I can get that in my real life.

mrdragon
@astra D'aww. I'm sorry to hear that Sweetie. And thank you *blushie* hehe ^.^ I try to be as nice as possible. I understand about the legal and security issues about certain jobs. I used to be hidden behind it all as well. Well, as I say if you ever just want to have your regular normal chat just to relax. I'm always open ^.^ quite a few ponies on here I think will agree I can be quite the charmer and make a pony be a little happier. :D

@zach121k Hi, Zack! :) How are you doing today? By the way, did you read that The Spaceship Company's FAITH opened up, so they'll be ready to start rolling out completed WhiteKnightTwo's and SpaceShipTwo's once the flight testing is completed? :)
