Hey, all.
I dropped by the office last night after dinner to pick something up and Wanda was working late. Again. She didn't see me this time, but yeah, she's been putting in some serious hours. Especially if you ask Doug to hack into the security camera footage and find out she's been staying until the wee smalls some nights, and pretty late most of the others, including weekends.
Now, I know we'd be an entire ironmonger's shop of kettles calling the pot black to tell her she's overworking and using it to avoid Stuff, so we don't tell her, we just kidnap her and make her take the night off. I figure enough of us, she can't argue (or fight back). So, here's the Cunning Plan - tomorrow night, we hustle her out, have dinner at the Greek place and then drop by Finnegan's for a few drinks. Jennie, you're invited as well since she won't hurt you. *grins*
So, do we have an Intervention?

The Greek place with the rice and grape leaves and olives? Yes, please.
I can barricade her door to prevent her running back to it if she protests. I promise to not use the imps. They have been getting uppity lately. Very grabby with their little imp hands.

I'll handle the reservations.

Thanks, Doug, that'll help a lot - I'm too close to Wanda's office for her to not notice me calling restaurants and making reservations.
*grins at Angie* You so have to come along on a bus trip with me and the kids one day. They'd love the imps. But yeah, barricade away, since I'm still working on the shielding spell. Got it up to two people now, yay me.

Well, since it is for my mentor and technically I'll be under "supervision" I think I could get the okay. The illustrious Xavier's staff still are just a little on the protective side, despite protestations that I am over the age of 18 and therefore *technically* an adult.
I shall be on hand since I can counter whatever she decides to throw at you. :)
