mememememe; things are slowing down; card!fail

-> First thing thing;

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you between one and three sentences from that story.

-> Work is slowly winding down because there has been a big push for everyone to take holidays the two weeks of Xmas. We haven't had a Manager in about 3 months because they couldn't find anyone that would fit the "unique" role and they've decided to break us all up and put us in different places because we were kind of the department of loose ends. The hilarious bit was yesterday we had a meeting with the head of IT who was kind of very loosely looking after us and said they wouldn't make any decisions until he got back from leave himself, but that wouldn't really be an issue because we would all be taking leave like we were told, right, right? We all stare at him for a beat before I say, "We don't have a manager at the moment. No one told us we had to take that two weeks off." He kind of flushes and says, "Oh, right. Yeah, that's a good point."

We also got taken to lunch by a manager from another department who took pity on us because no one had thought to invite us along to theirs even though as a group we work with EVERYONE. We're like the little Orphan Annie of our company.

- Ugh, I've had complete card!fail. I'm sending them out tomorrow (hopefully) but since I'm across an ocean from most of you they maaaaaay be a little late. :(

SPN--Dean is turned into a Xmas Elf, complete with pointy ears and shoes. Sam finds it hilarious, Dean, not so much.

What about the one where Sam and Dean engage in a life and death battle against house-hold appliances that have come to life. :)

Sheesh! How can you have a smoothly-running operation if you don't have someone who can oversee and pass on information? Ridiculous.

Ummm....the one where Sam and Dean are trapped in a micro-universe and emerge (seemingly only moments later) in the world of Firefly! :)

Avengers - Steve's first time on a computer (looking up Tony)

Taking inspiration from your RL - how about the one where Dean and Sam have to look after Little Orphan Annie as the result of a curse or something....

The XMFC Sports!AU that I really think ought to exist by now--or, rather, I'm sure there are sports AUs, but I think there should be zillions because they are always fun fun fun. Sport of your choice!

Or, alternatively, Eames&Arthur doing some real world espionage at a high society dinner party and each having to very determinedly ignore how the other looks in that suit even as they mine information from a state senator/sneak into the safe room and take photographs of a priceless emerald/assassinate people/whatever it is they're there to do.

Jared has laryngitis, but he has something important to tell Jensen. Charades ensue.

Holy Toledo -- your department sounds a lot like ours.

Avengers-Tony forgets to wear his platform shoes and everyone is all "He's so cute and tiny..." (cause RDJ is around 5'8).
