Just remember that in the long game, the one that can organize chaos often ends up running the show. Nice work Peter!
Why does Mercedes not get the little Smart car?
So Peter is the one who’s like the glue that keeps this place together? Neat.
Curious, why is shitbox showdown the only one not scheduled to go live exactly on the hour, but rather 9 minutes behind?
Dude, you’re cool. We won’t hold anything against anyone. Things ebb and flow. Oh, and thanks Peter, didn’t notice any changes. I hope you get a bonus (aka Costco hot dog or better).
With great power comes great responsibility, Peter. Our thanks.
I wonder if her has an aunt named May. And if so, has he been around any radioactive spiders lately?
Thwipp!
Thank Peter
The part that I always wonder is David’s status/thought bubble. My office uses that emoji to share upcoming vacation but David always has that status up. Is he just permanently on vacation? He got the girl and the dream job, and now nothing can harsh him?
Country codes? Red for ‘merica, blue for Canadia, brown for down under, and then Mercedes is purple cause purple is cool. Rivers is Canoe, Tucker is a car, Peter calls himself a monkey?
Thank you Peter. Da Vinci has nothing on you! Or visa versa?
The zoomer Autopians will think you mean something different when you say you are out of pocket, but they will still agree with you.
I always keep extra hot pockets in the bottom of the freezer.
This entire time I’ve been like “do I tell them?” I mean, I’m out of pocket 24-fucking-7 (e.g., just crashed a feature shoot of another publication and may have tempted another writer into financial precariousness via maximum Parsh), but a different kind of out of pocket than they’re referring to.
Penguins as check marks? Excellent.
Chick marks!
It means they’ve been tweeted out to the great wide world!
Mercedes has purple, ’cause purple is awesome.
Rivers is up the creek with a paddle.
Thomas has blue… circles.
Peter is a monkey.
The initial time is estimated; the crossed-off time is actual delivery.
The items with the bird have gone live and/or have been added to #story-feed on Discord. Third option: perhaps these items have received editorial approval (and can now be placed into one/both of the other categories).
My question is does the writer choose their own colour (or it has a default that can be changed) which seems likely as some people have custom ones, was it chosen by an editor at some point, or does slack define colours on its own for each channel?
I think you’re right. But the birds…post has flown the coop?
Perhaps the birds indicate the story has been shared on twitter?
I’m not much of a code cracker, but nice work Peter!
The code being that the dots are Mastermind-ish?
Give me a black or white peg here…
I think there are colors being used that I can’t differentiate. Help me out!
Colorblind people unite! Let’s wear our green/brown/red/orange uniforms tonight.
I suppose I can postpone my Procrastinator’s Meeting…
When the colorblind people took over the world, none of the rest of us saw it coming.
Despite the uniforms, flags, posters, arm bands – somehow we just didn’t see it for the cohesive movement it was.
Thanks Peter!
Code being the time of day?
