Just in time for
the weekend, snow showers in Ohio. LOL Considering I was still wearing shorts
and flip-flops in October, I won't gripe anymore. J
Update on the gimpy
kid… she'd made huge strides over the last week, going from her splint down to
a boot and now easing into a brace. She's doing therapy and it's making a huge
difference. She won't be ready to jump hurdles before the end of track season,
but she's mobile and crutchless for the most part. *throws confetti*
Sad there isn't a
new Walking Dead, but also a little
relieved. I'll give next season a quick go then decide if I can deal with Negan
or not.
The Magicians is almost to the season ender and I'm kind
of excited to see what happens. Bitten
is also two episodes away from its finale and I'm kind of sad there won't be
any new episodes to look forward to.
No new The Flash, but Agents of SHIELD had a terrific showing. I rather like how the deep
division seems to be setting up Captain
America: Civil War.
Arrow… wow. I'm actually kind of shocked at who we lost. That said, never say
die in a show based on a comic series. There's a solid chance we'll see the one
we lost again.
Legends of Tomorrow put a good episode together. I really love
the complicated mix and relationships portrayed. I will admit, I'm actually
kind of tired of Savage constantly having the upper hand. I'd like to see a
serious blow dealt to him and maybe an introduction of some other villains.
Still need to watch
Banshee, but I have the eps ready to
go. And the first episode of Wynonna Earp
proved awesome! If the second ep is as good, I'm all-in. Kind of looking
forward to The Hunters and hoping it
holds my interest.
That's it for TV
this week.
Tonight's post is
from The Hunt, a sexy short based on the prompt "personal space
violation." How could this one not be fun?
Here's the
mini-blurb:
Megan and Guy, corporate retreat directors, stage a
scavenger hunt for their client's team building exercise. After a major
disagreement, the couple spends most of their time making up—and trying not to
get caught in compromising positions.
And a snippety peek…
"If I have to do one more
team-building exercise by creating a fort out of office furniture that
culminated in a group sing-along of "Kumbaya", I'm going to kill
someone. I think it's time we pulled our contract and went looking for a
different place to hold our corporate retreats." Joe Homage folded his
arms over his chest and heaved a frustrated breath.
Megan Dewes pursed her lips and
pondered how to respond to the outburst. Mid-level groups like Aztec Holdings
had a ton of turnover in their ranks and always looked for ways to help their
employees work together toward the common goal of selling more equipment. Joe
Homage, the VP of sales, attended every session—usually two per year—and this
would make his tenth outing. No wonder he'd boarded the crazytown express.
Megan rose and made her way
around the desk, propping a hip on the edge. "What can I do to liven
things up for you, Joe?" She didn't want to lose Aztec's business, not
when she and her partner were finally going to have time off.
Which they wouldn't get if Joe
pulled the plug.
He shot her a look. "Really?
You're going to use sales tactics on me?" He dropped his arms and turned
away. "Because I can sell swampland in Florida."
Megan quirked a smile.
"Okay, then. Why don't you tell me what you want and I'll see if we can
make it happen. You've always had the option to change your package, Joe."
Of course, he didn't do the booking, his exec assistant did.
Which meant he probably didn't
have clue he could request something different.
Joe cocked his head to one side.
"Well, uh, I don't know. But there's gotta be something besides the same
old stuff all the time." He gave her a hopeful look.
Megan started to reply, but the
door opened and her partner entered, carrying two cups of coffee from the
kitchen carafe.
Guy Rillion never failed to take
her breath away… or to not distract her when he walked into a room. But she had
an account to save, so she only nodded and scrambled to come up with a new idea
for Joe's group.
Reaching across the desk, she
pulled the Aztec file toward her and flipped it open. "Let's just check
and see what we can shuffle around here." Joe leaned in, his shoulder
brushing hers.
Guy moved through the office,
placing the coffee on the desk and settling into the chair. "Morning, Joe.
What's up?" He met Megan's gaze for a brief second before turning his
attention to their client.
Joe straightened. "Er, well,
I was thinking about pulling the contract, but Megan asked for some ideas to
change up the program a little. You know, shake things up so they're not so
boring." He finished on a mumble.
Megan stuck her tongue in her
cheek to keep from snorting with laughter. She didn't know whether to whip out
a ruler or walk away.
Guy looked ready to do battle and
Joe like he wanted to crawl away as quickly as possible. Nothing like a bona
fide measuring contest to get the day started.
Having a great time
with this one…
That's it for this
week. Happy reading!
