Ginger blushes:

You know those 4 that were assigned to me?  I did them and forgot to
sign them off as done.  I done did that now.  I also signed up for
the last 3 in the set, so after this weekend, it will all be done if
Debbie finishes the one to which she is assigned.

(& later):

When Debbie finishes her section, Snape's main category will be done.
I finished it up today.

Carolyn (wonderingly);
You mean Snape is really all split up and bunged into sections?? All 
3500 posts?? I am lost in true admiration. All of you, take as many 
team points, doughnuts or bottles of the strong stuff as you like. 
The catalogue party expenses budget hasn't had much exercise this 
year...

Ginger:
So... shall I commence with the re-review of the main Snape, then?  Or
has someone else set their heart on it?  I can do other sections as
well, but I'd really appreciate if someone else did things like the
Character studies and Literary whatever since I'm not as sure about
those categories.  I have put things there, but if they don't belong
there, whoever reviews that section can feel free to move them back to
Snape's main category.

Carolyn:
How many are left in the main Snape after all the axe-wielding that 
has gone on? I guess I should go in to the catalogue and look.

A nice bit of labyrinthine HPfGU conspiracy theorising would probably 
be a good warm up to the performance reviews I have to conduct next 
week - my first with the team I took over last year. I could think 
myself into theory bay, and amuse myself shooting down the little 
dears' elaborate speculations about why they should be promoted and 
given a lot of money ...

This time round, HR have automated the system, so after we have our 
difficult conversation, they then have to enter it all online, click 
the button, I add my comment, click the button, my manager adds her 
comment and it is all then filed in some awful Kafka-esque database 
for us to re-visit at particularly awkward moments. Gawd help us.

Ginger:
Side question, showing my total lack of Britishness:  Do they really
use newspapers to wrap the fish and chips?  Are they old ones that
people have read?  Doesn't the print get on the food?  American minds
want to know.

Carolyn:
Actually, mostly they serve them up in plain white paper cones these 
days I think. But they used to use newspaper, and probably still do 
some places the health & safety inspectors have missed!

Hm, really fancy some just writing about it. It's the taste of the 
malt vinegar with salt that does it.
