Sadly, the WPCC seemed to depopulate - there was a fair bit of trolling going on, and it just felt uncomfortable to be here (at least for me; I assume other ponies had similar reasons for not lounging here as often)

You are right friend. There was terribly mess here. The Yellow Pony avoid such places. I feel strong relate with certain lilak hostess from certain picture. But I still have a kind of sentiment to that place remembering about old good times with brown, blue and other my fellow friends here.

Still, not QUITE as vacant as the beer lounge.

*sighs* I'm not quite feeling capable to raise the place again right now. I'm trying at least to start with addressing everything in fairly shared portions again.

Miss our get togethers in your study, too...

Same hither, mine lief. We definitely need to revive that tradition. I'm focused to limit the stress in mine life first, so I can actualize those promises.

Sadly, those would have to be without Tempest or Tuney anyhow

*sighs* One thing I know definitely - I shall be hither on March 2nd.

One would think her recent Horse Play would have taught her she isn't suited for the theatrical life - although I guess everypony is entitled to sing in the shower

Yeah.

Tia in the shower or tub is always such an opportunity for pranks *giggles*

*wanders into the quiet lounge, makes a fresh pot of coffee in anticipation that the aroma may attract other ponies....

Not sure about order, given this isn't a café, but there IS an espresso machine so I guess so...

<turns the grinder to "stupidly fine powder" and finds the italian dark roast beans>

*stumbles in, lured by the smell of coffee*

*Pours the long-suffering grey pone a cup of monsooned malabar, and pushes the tray with milk and sugar in their direction

*also passes @Rixton a generous double of dark, rich espresso and places a small jug of steamed milk next to it.

I sorta lucked out. When I was working in a different part of the business, there was a mandatory shutdown edict - non-support roles had to take xmas week off. I am back on the service desk again now, but "forgot" to cancel that, so have the whole week.

We have short weeks this week and next.  I have a feeling that what didn't go last week is going to be pushed out this week to make end of month/quarter/year.  It'll be the longest three days I'll have to endure.

Thank you very much, I very like this combination. I could not make my self no to hear it, I wish you endurance to your work. Do not overdo it, this is now the end of the year, even the grass doesn't grow now.

It's not my choice, unfortunately, we're at the whims of the shippers.  It depends on how much they wish to get moving.  I'm hoping it won't be too bad, but I always plan for an avalanche of freight.

Would have thought there would be at least a brief lull, between the hectic shipping schedule of xmas and the january sales and restock cycle.

No such luck...looking over the dock and already looks like a busy night.

Ah well - at least you are just supervising now, not having to actually haul it cross-country?

True.  Although at times it can be just as stressful trying to get it all moved versus actually hauling it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the lounge. I’m glad this place is still getting used. 

@Longhaul Good luck at work tonight. All you can do is hope for the best but plan for the worst.

[Longhaul 6,932]

@Twilight Luna That's pretty much every night.  Thanks, I'll make it through.

Yeah, I can guess. Sometimes you wonder how they can manage to run, for example, the shift patterns for an 18 wheeler's gearbox that seem to require a degree in astrophysics, but can't read a waybill....

You have no idea how true that is.

Me too, I haven't been here for a very long time...eheheh, I still remember when this was the hot topic, almost every evening! 
Anyhow, how are you, pals? I was so missing being here...
