For reasons unbeknownst even to myself, I am always interested in whether people are left-handed or right-handed. (I’ve always been a rightie, though I did develop relatively legible leftie handwriting during a very boring college class.) So: Hawkeye. (Because really, if I’m going to be totally avoiding writing my Avengers fic, I should at least […]
Best Moments: 1. Benji yelling at Ethan on his screen, even though Ethan can’t hear him. (“Go to the extraction point!”) 2. Ethan dumping the team in a fit of pique, and the three of them sitting around drinking and talking. (Just saying, that is not what I think of as the hallmark of a […]
Today I woke up to the uncomfortable realization that my workplace bears an uncanny resemblance to a sitcom — and not a sitcom that’s new and fresh in its first season, but one that’s like in season six, or something.

Coulson is a team-building ninja. “Apparently you’ve been missing scheduled team meetings. Captain Rogers worries that it’s […]
So yeah, I know this is one of those kinds of stories that get told All The Time, but that doesn’t really stop it from being hilarious when it’s happening to you. At my workplace, we have neighbors. In the way of many neighbors, we get along best when the door between us is shut. […]
