astri13I won't be posting SPN ep reviews for the foreseeable future, not because I particularly disliked the episodes - in fact, I did really like them - but because currently I KNOW that if I engaged in posting and reading discussion/reviewing/meta, it would spoil my enjoyment of the show.
I know what the current sentiment is and whatever, I will say one short thing: I have a favourite character on the show (it's not hard to make out who by reading my lj) and I'm perfectly FINE with him right now so if you're not, don't tell me, mkay? By which I mean, don't tell me here, I know perfectly well how to skip posts in other ljs.
And this is not a thing about me not being able to handle criticism of a fictional character - I have liked both the clear favourites and the hated-by-all-but-three-people characters in shows, so, really my like/dislike doesn't hinge on majority vote - I just don't want to right now.
Totally have the near-end-of-vacation-blues atm and I really need fandom to be pure fun right now so possibly reading some fic, possible even writing some fic and ignoring everything else. :-D

Thanks. I'm dreading Monday a bit, it will be nice to see colleagues again but the workload that is sure to have accumulated in two weeks, shudders.

Date: 2010-04-10 11:58 am (UTC)Sure, me too. But I'm not talking about nitpicking, I'm talking about taking every detail of the story one doesn't like and spinning it so it seems the complete episode or even season was a waste of time. That's what gets me. If you don't find a single nice thing to say about the ep/season/characters/whatever then why watch it at all?
--------
What do you mean "accumulated workload"? Don't your colleagues take over for you when you're gone? o.O

Date: 2010-04-10 12:43 pm (UTC)Well, in theory they would but we've been so swamped for months now that nobody can really afford to take on even a single case from anybody else. And I get about 20 to 30 or so new cases a week. I was at 230 unfinished ones before I went into vacation so maybe I'll be cracking the 300 soon.
They will have likely flipped through my mail to see if anything was truly urgent - and by urgent we're talking last notice urgent - but everything else is left. It's the same thing really for everybody when they go on vacation. Sigh.

Date: 2010-04-10 04:58 pm (UTC)Project work is different, of course. My projects are on a schedule and NEED to continue, even when I'm not around, so the guys have to jump in for me next week. Still feels weird to leave everything to them again, and I keep on hoping I gave them all the info they require. (Well, if I left anything out they can call me.)
I hope your office situation turns out far better than you could possibly imagine! ;-)

Date: 2010-04-10 06:12 pm (UTC)*switching to German* Ich bearbeite Widersprüche von Hartz IV Empfängern (und dann die entsprechenden Klagen dazu bis hin zum Gerichtstermin) und wie man sich vorstellen kann, das Geschäft boomt - Eingänge letzten Monat: 300. Seufz.
Wir verteilen die nach Endnummern der jeweiligen Bedarfsgemeinschaften so jeder, dessen Nummer auf 4,5,6 und 7 endet, landet mit seinem Widerspruch automatisch bei mir. Und wenn das in einer Woche 30 sind und bei einem anderen Kollegen mit anderen Endnummern halt nur 5, hab ich Pech gehabt.
Aber im Großen und Ganzen gleicht es sich ziemlich aus. Wir sind 6 Leute und haben mittlerweile 1200 unerledigte insgesamt, einige davon noch von 2008. Also entspannen wird sich das in absehbarer Zeit nicht. Grusel.
I hope your office situation turns out far better than you could possibly imagine! ;-)
Thanks, maybe I caught a lucky week or so. :)

Wir haben jede Menge Leute, die sind seit 5 Jahren! befristet da. Nur nich fest anstellen, da bricht bestimmt die Apocalypse aus.
War es denn wenigstens was mit der "lucky week"?
Ja, war soweit okay. Ich hatte 22 oder so neue dazubekommen. Gab schon schlimmere Wochen. :)
