I may have done something monumentally stupid, but even after waiting and thinking about it, I do not regret it yet.

	For a moment there I thought you were suggesting she be decapitated. I am afraid I took my anger over the elopement on her and that was uncalled for, but she knows how to push my buttons like most siblings know how to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is why I'm largely staying out of it. I don't envy you your job right now. And you know where to find my house if you ever need to vent in a judgement-free zone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would have happily stayed out it, if I had been given a choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	more_savage 2017-11-26 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know you would have. At least Lex doesn't generally intend to push your buttons. Since I'm fairly sure my brother does with mine, I'm hopefully saving you and Gwen both some additional work by keeping to my side of the fence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I certainly cannot speak for Gwen, but I do appreciate that. [Maddie] And it is smart of you to stay out of the entire mess of Montrose. You know very well I never wanted to be part of the formal organisation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How did you end up in it? I keep meaning to ask you. I gather from this discussion that your former rep quit for some reasons at least related to Micah and Lex? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maddie perfectmother 2017-11-26 04:48 am UTC (link)
	Mr. McEwan quit suddenly, just after Micah and Lex eloped. While I do not condone the suddenness of her actions, I do understand the reasoning behind it. Montrose cannot be without a person handling PR and Mother came to me. I am not in a position where I can refuse her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well. That's a neat and tidy little trap of a job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Welcome to the Macmillan family. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aureliana more_savage 2017-11-26 05:05 am UTC (link)
	Thankfully, no plans on joining it myself any time soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maddie perfectmother 2017-11-26 05:25 am UTC (link)
	If I had a worse sense of humour I would point out that both Mel and Fraser are single, as far as I know. But we've all seen how that turns out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aureliana more_savage 2017-11-26 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Merlin, can you imagine? Actually, no. I don't need either of those brain images. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Aureliana perfectmother 2017-11-26 05:42 am UTC (link)
	I told you it would have been a terrible sense of humor. I love my family, I really do, but it is not a business. I do not want to run it like one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aureliana more_savage 2017-11-26 05:53 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure it would be funnier if it wasn't our families. Are you at least interviewing for a permanent replacement? Or is the expectation you'll keep this long term? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

OK, not the full Boleyn. Just the "What the Queen Does Not See, Did Not Happen" part. To use a prior monarch as an example, she can't fight the sea.

And yeah, I know, and I've been on both sides of that button pushing with Jupes. In the end, you've got to do what your job is, and if it takes telling her to sit down and not make a fuss when she doesn't need to, then that's that. So what if someone doesn't like what she does? Why pick a public fight and make a spectacle of it? We're not Portree.

	I am going to ignore your jab about Portree, because I like to believe we are above such petty rivalries. I will keep that in mind in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm just saying their PR person must be a miracle worker, because they've had two players nearly arrested for disturbing the peace and public lewdness and another one decide to go to the press because she was treated so shabbily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	perfectmother 2017-11-26 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Gwen Miracle is indeed skilled at her job. Portree is lucky to have her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Imagine, if you will, the memos that went out after the altercation. She's not one to hold back if she needs to say something. It's part of the job that isn't all cocktail parties and getting the mascot to go to charitable events. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have imagined it and I want no part of it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Still parsing what this means. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	razorfraser 2017-11-27 01:14 am UTC (link)
	It means nobody knows us as well as we know each other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmmmm I can't tell if this is an insult but I mean you're not wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent)
