I'd like to officially ban future use of ice breakers on the network, should the rest of Leadership agree.

As an alternative, we could require approval from an individual's boss before posting. Thoughts?

Ground Forces.

Any reports of note? I recognize I've been a little scattershot as of late with various trips to the ground, but that's no excuse for not keeping up with your paperwork.

Additionally, Dreamscape needs volunteers to watch the experiment participants, given the sleeper debacle. This ask is a courtesy — I will choose people if too few come forward.

Taryn.

Why does de Vries have a ring suddenly? What is happening on this ship? Every time I look away for a minute something strange has happened.

Comments

[onthedouble]

On the public portions? I would prefer this. I accept that some frivolity can be helpful for morale, though.

[reidings]

With our jobs being what they are I am a proponent of fun. It's a necessity.

[onthedouble]

It is, but in mindful doses. Do we really need to discuss who everyone is hypothetically interested in? Or name our favorite fruit or whatever other options there are?

[reidings]

Need to? No. Want to for some entertainment? Yes.

Fruit might lead to some interesting discussion though.

[onthedouble]

I will never understand publicly discussing these things. It's really entertaining?

I don't think it would.

[reidings]

It can be and I think is most of the time, but I do understand your point of view.

Do you not have a favorite fruit?

[onthedouble]

And you don't think it leads to awkward feelings between coworkers?

I do.

[reidings]

I think most of us are mature enough to talk about any awkwardness that might arise. And if you're that afraid of things becoming awkward, participation is not a requirement.

Guessing you don't care to share that detail?

[foundlostfound]

We can try.
Mine's grapefruit. It's bitter but aesthetically interesting.

[reidings]

Grapefruit is a good choice, tasty despite its bitterness.

I'm partial to a raspberry. Tart but a perfect summer fruit.

[foundlostfound]

And also an aggregate fruit, not a true berry, so it's sneaky.

[reidings]

Just masquerading as a berry. Fun to pick in the wild regardless.

[jaxsons]

I would trade an arm for some watermelon or pawpaws.

[reidings]

Watermelon is objectively a good fruit. Definitely in my top 5. As you know, I've never had a pawpaw, but one day I'd like to.

[jaxsons]

If I could take you to Kentucky, that'd be one of the first things I'd make you try.

[delilahs]

Okay but sometimes naming people publicly leads you to actually being able to kiss them

[onthedouble]

While I generally don't condone kissing coworkers, you could also just ask them, yes?

[dochenka]

It was nicer surprise for her.

[delilahs]

That too. It was a very lovely, wonderful surprise

[onthedouble]

I didn't realize part of the draw was 'surprise.'

[delilahs]

Yes but a kiss list was more low pressure because there was no expectations and it wasn't like I was demanding answers from anyone on it

[onthedouble]

Cast a wide net, I suppose.

[reidings]

You did popularize the kiss list around here, successfully.

[delilahs]

My greatest legacy so far

[reidings]

It's an impressive legacy.
