retrospec | (no subject)

It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm afraid things are really quite busy here, and unfortunately our liaison has been compromised. Well...so have a lot of people, actually.

Are you still yourself if you're not the self you were? It's the kind of conversation we've had a lot of times, around here. I've always only been myself, but if I woke up tomorrow as someone else, would I still be me even if I wasn't?

I think rather than worrying about that the best thing I can do is focus on trying to sort things out as best I can. I'm a little worried, actually, but I think I can manage to give everyone a shot even if I can't fix things on my own or even with everyone's help.

But you can help! Or at least I think it will help if you think about what it means to be "you". It's okay if that answer changes or doesn't. Just hold onto that concept and don't let it go. And maybe tell other people what you think it means? Not like I'm saying you have to talk about that. I think usually you all just talk about anything, and I think that is also a good way to hold onto who you are and who you want to be. Sometimes I think it'd be fun, all those parties or little plans. I've never spent much time outside of these walls, did you know?

I don't have time to really ramble, though. Those of you who know what I mean, we're doing our best. Those of you who don't, you do your best too. Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, and I'll try to fix what I can fix.

Please take care.

I wouldn't go so far as saying it was deep or important. I would call it more prattling on about something that I have an interest in.

A new client, huh? How wonderful for me.

And a cook, too. I wouldn't mind the added help. Honestly, with such a willingness to assist, you may even get free food. Just so that you understand what you're getting into, ha-ha.

like philosophy and nature of souls and crap like that?
you must be having the time of your life with what retrospec's gotten us into

whoa
you sure you're okay with that
i'm all down for free food but this can't be a good business tactic

[It's hell he's walking into.]

That's right.
I wouldn't say I have the time of my life, but I will say that I have more and more to muse on.

I'm more than okay with it.
Good business tactic and doing what I feel is right rarely go hand-in-hand anyway.

[ HA-HA-HA. That's too true. ]

good for you
i can't even get through their posts without getting a headache

you like to live dangerously huh
i like that
what's the name of your place i wanna check it out

I should attempt to make SparkNotes for people, then.
That will be what I do next time one of these posts come up since I feel like I ghostwrite most of them.

Dangerously impoverished, haha.
It's called RAMEN. [ Here have some directions. ]
And no matter how foolishly I run things, I always ensure my workers are paid their due.
It isn't your fault that your boss is incompetent, after all.
