I don't even know why I still have meetings. All the events are cancelled for the foreseeable future so it's just a dozen of us telling the superintendent that yes, we're still doing our general maintenance.

You can feel the general attitude of the room just plummet when it comes out. Somehow even worse when an assistant is needed.

I mean... you can edit stuff that already exists offline, but you can't do everything and it won't save if you quit offline.

It'd be a shock if he couldn't sing.


Ah I see that is pretty impressive that Hugh Jackman has a singing career going on for him.

Your test has been taking quite a while, hasn't it?

I hope you get good, negative results, too.
