[Board Problem] Post count seems to be broken.

Isn't that a benefit of having 10000+ posts?

(It cannot be a hivemind thing this time... I have no idea how your haircut looks.)

That's good coz apparently I look like a boy...

I wish Tallarn was here. He could tell me I don't look like a boy! (He knows me in RL.)

Hmm... He didn't post for the last seven days... Did I miss something, or where is he?

Tallarn has suddenly become gainfully employed. He's going to be in panto (yes, really!). Takes up way too much of his time, he's not even gaming right now.

Actors are never gainfully employed. They just have busy periods.

And there I am trying to talk him up...

Evil little pokerwink, you are.

If I don't get to be gainfully employed (and gods help me, I never intend to), I'm sure as hell not going to let other people get away with it when they're not.

It's petty, I know, but the whole cyclic nature of work is one of the reasons acting (or writing/illustrating/etc) is such a tough gig. Glossing over the downtimes is one of the reasons it's looked down upon as a serious profession.

I know that really. My dad's a literary agent and I know enough actors to know neither acting nor writing is that easy! I used to want to be a writer but gave up on the idea after working in a string of publishing firms. It's too tough a business for me!

Didn't mean to offend you or anything, right?

Me? I'm not offended. I'm very, very rarely offended. I'm a writer - I get kicked in the teeth for a living half the time, Offense is a luxury I live without

I was just explaining my comment on Tallarns employment situation, which I relaised could come off as being a little to snide for people who aren't regular hiveminders...

Hmmm, Irregular Hiveminders, that's a good Prestige Class too...

Are any of us regular?
