Green Room - Week 14 - Day 3
Good morning.
Now that
shay_writes has dropped out, we stand at 62 contestants.
Let's sit back and consider that for a moment. 62. That's 12 people standing between you and the Top 50. If we *just* lose 5 for the next couple of weeks (the 5 that we have been losing, assuming that there are no more drops or bye-outs), that means we will be there by the end of the month.
But also, consider that it also means that there are 8 people before you will have outlasted *100* other contestants. 100. It boggles MY mind, hopefully it does the same for you.
So if we really do have that short of distance to those points, I should remind everyone again, when we hit the Top 50 mark, all of the byes will go away. No more byes to use.
Also, I've mentioned this in passing in the Green Room over the past week or so a couple times... and so the people who happened to catch it seemed to be working with inside info, but really it was just a case of they saw (and understood) what I said. What did I say? That after 50 we will be having an Intersection. What does that mean? Well I'd imagine the same thing it meant last season.*G*
***
Still waiting to hear on who the 3 people with the power to call someone out have picked. Remember, you guys have until 11am EST on Friday to get me that info. (so we can prepare the polls in time).
***
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

I wouldn't be here today, making this speech, if it weren't for my job. Thank you Job for putting me in an earlier time zone so that I can comment early and often!

And it's the last two weeks on this bloody stupid job.
What do we do -- supposed to be an audit coordinator -- prep documents/material for IT Audits for auditors from IT system owners - the like. The boss isn't keen on delegating and can't plan tying her own shoes -- so there's not a lot of work being done 80% of the time.
Been interviewing though...

Good luck with the interviewing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the heck is an intersection?
OK, what the heck? Is anyone tired today? I actually went to bed early. I got more sleep. I actually got a respectable amount of sleep. And I can barely wake up. What is the deal with that?
Should I go back to sleep? LOL
It's wet and cold out there. I think I may boycott life in general. HAHA

The office down here is 5 minutes away and they don't need me there until 8:30 or 9, so I can sit back and review some work stuff of my own before I go over there.
I think this weekend is going to be a going in the office to work. I can work from home, true, but I can work faster from the office. And the stuff I'm doing, I need files for. Can we go paperless right now?
Have a good day! :)

The soda machine on this floor is broke. Grrrr.
*Mutters about an all day meeting*
I think very -- I know that these group of folks - when in the same room - some have to stay separated at opposite ends of the room to keep them from strangling each other.
SO this explains why I want to bring popcorn. Carrie's one of the scribes for the meeting - so she'll have to take notes on whatever drama comes out of it *s*.
Meeting's all fucking day -- nice part about it -- food will be provided.
Oh yes...I'm stocking up on PEPSIs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummpfftt...
OH yes..It's Bloody HUMP DAY!!! Who's celebrating?

So we had very pretty snow last night that turned to sleet and is now a driving rain. My butt is staying put in my nice warm house while I pick puppet fur out of my teeth from the wrestling match we had yesterday.

Our votes are totaled, and the team(s) with the lowest vote total(s) are eliminated.

And you have it exactly right.
There are some interesting strategies to survive. If we pair ourselves:
1. The top two pair join and try to dominate
2. Top & middle join and should survive
3. Middle & middle join and have a chance
4. Middle & bottom take their chances
5. Bottom & bottom take a real risk
6. Top & bottom work together to raise bottom's standing
I do not mean to insult anyone with these names; they are only shorthand for the "average no. of votes."
If G pairs us (deliberately or randomly) then who knows what will happen.

I might, though, want to pick someone lower down in the vote-getting because then it avoids the juggernaut accusations, and that's my big issue right now -- not being that sort of target.

Re: That kind of intimate is OK too!
It really describes how I am. I become exhausted after I interact with people for an extended period of time, like more than an hour. I can do it and do it well, but I pay the price later. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just how we are wired.
The Husband is more of an extrovert than I which sounds a lot like Jessi and you.
Re: That kind of intimate is OK too!
Even chat rooms and too many IM windows can make me feel very drained. One on one? HUGE. I love it. I live on the phone all night when I get home.
Jessi and I complement one another very well. He have tons in common, but we also fill each other's little gaps.
Re: That kind of intimate is OK too!
Re: That kind of intimate is OK too!
First place two weeks ago. Second last week. Jessi is going to take this entry VERY seriously. One day to work on it. No pressure or anything, right?

2. Think positive thoughts for me, please? I would not ordinarily ask, but I need to survive the next 24 hours, and friends will be important.
3. Because I forgot to say so yesterday, those who were recently eliminated will be dearly missed.

I have lost more of my "Top50" due to withdrawals than being voted out. In fact, I have lost as many of my initial picks to "Withdrawn" and "Out Round X".
So yes... those of you who are sticking with the game, through the twists, turns, emotional appeals, and drama.
Please applaud yourselves.
The current bye counts
2 byes left 18
1 bye left 12
no byes left 32
Total Players 62

Working on my post when I can. I was actually considering taking a bye this week as I get accustomed to the new job and all, then decided that it would like kind of odd, considering I picked the alternate topic.
The "intersection" has a lot of potential. I'm hoping we can pick our partners, I predict a significant number of drop-outs if we can't.

Yeah, drop outs may occur.

One lady did ask me if I could make up the hours on Friday. First of all, I don't have to if they cancel due to weather, but second, she has TEN home hours! Ten in one day? No way, lady.
The intersection idea is terrifying to me. I couldn't even begin to think who I'd pick. I would actually hope we'd have a partner assigned to us. Then, in school I was usually the kid who hated making that decision and in turn loved when the teacher assigned partners.
