I've been horribly AWOL lately and crap at answering comments and the like. I'm not sure when this situation will improve. Honesty is always the best policy

Oh, man, I'm SO sorry to hear about your friend! That's just tragic! When someone is killed unexpectedly it is always so traumatic for everyone involved. *hugs big time* I'm sure she would want someone like you to take over for her if she couldn't do her job so maybe it would help to remember that?
TIG rears his head in your life again, eh? Oh, dear. One day you'll look back on your relationship with him and it won't hurt anymore. I promise! &hearts
Thank you, babe. There are seriously few less fun things in life than watching a bunch of hard-ass paramilitary employees trying to cope with grief in a workplace. We all suck at it. SO. HARD.
About the only thing we haven't sucked at is banding together like you would not believe to get the job done every day. Which...at the end of the day, I guess that's where the shit matters. But the avoidance and silence and staring at the staffroom carpet at break times has been breathtaking. Awkward, horrific and breathtaking.
*hands over face*
I was almost glad for the confusion of TIG, just so I had something else awful to think about that wasn't Bec and her devastated partner and three teenage kids. :(
You will never suck - and I won't be offended if you don't get to respond to my comment... Don't feel bad about taking the position - I'm betting your friend wouldn't want you to. And as you said, the position needs to be filled, right? Think of it as simply filling in for now, and as your "real" position in a month.....
Yeah. The least the bastards could do is get flabby and look crappy... but you are beautiful, so I'm betting he was kicking himself when you weren't looking.... *hugs* And you aren't the only one who has lost the thread of SPN... though there is an episode coming up that you will NOT want to miss....
I think Bec would be pleased I'm taking the role...it's just the timing that feels terrible. In a perfect world, we'd get to leave her line vacant for a while in honor of the gaping hole she's left in the team, because she was a very, very colorful character and an extremely high-impact person.
But we don't work in a perfect world. We work in a prison. And vacant lines make work dangerous, so fill it we must. :(
As for TIG...? I know in my head that man is never going to rise to the challenge of the man he could be. But I'm an endless optimist when it comes to people. I just don't give up on people. It's not in my nature. So I think there'll always be a tiny fire burning behind the ribs in hope of that. For his benefit, if it can't be for mine. *shrugs*

No, SPN's still on hellatus until... April 15ish?? Somewhere in that ballpark, anyway.

Thanks for the SPN update. I'll put it in the diary.
