DragonBard was referring to this thread, if I'm not mistaken.

Yep.
Which means I've got a lot of reading to catch up on.
Dunno how I missed this. Happy anniversary in arrears!
Definite shades of Glorious Shotgun Princess here, with Taylor most definitely channeling Shepard.
And in recompense, I discovered a possible Saki/Sakura costume reference for PRT Image:

Not a commission.
This time.
I don't think so.
I think it's supposed to be jade jewelry; some types of jade have almost exactly that color IRL, like this ring from Amazon

Sorry for the extended Hiatus, folks. My promotion was immediately followed by our servers breaking down early in January, and the the situation hasn't really stopped getting worse. It's now reached a point where the guy in charge of keeping the servers going has literally had a stroke and may soon be dead, so I don't foresee my 16+ hour days stopping anytime soon.
I'll try to take a bit of time off on Sunday to get something out for the monthly anniversary to hammer out something quick, so what would people like to see:
- continuation of the previous Omake
- a different/random (non-canon) Omake
- A brief aside about what Taylor's been up to on vacation
I have no time to actually do a vote right now, so I'll just eyeball what people say (and their arguments for/against) and pick something mid-Sunday to write about.

[X] Taylor's vacation
What does Taylor consider as a vacation anyway? Lounging on the beaches? Socializing at clubs? Augmented gardening?

I'd love to see a bit of a window on Taylor's vacation

Wasn't she going skiing? At the least it had been stunted like that.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or be horrified that the guy desperately keeping the servers running had a stroke. Jesus, it sounds like you need a new workplace/job. 16 hour workdays is beyond insane.

Family business and my employment there is keeping income going to the Alzheimer's parent I've been taking care of.
Hoisted by his own petard; turns out he said he was hiring others to help his workload, but was instead doing it all himself to collect extra paychecks.
Now that's just crazy talk.

I hope this isn't one of those 'you're salaried so we can demand all the hours we want from you' labor law violations, at least? Very few people actually qualify as salaried employees, you more or less have to be an independent professional that self-manages and has control over your own hours. They should be paying you vast amounts of overtime to the point where it's much more efficient to hire the number of people they actually need.

Family business. They may not necessarily be able to afford it given that it already sounds like an all hands on deck kind of thing.

If they can't even afford to pay their employees what they're required to pay them, in the United States of all places where there's barely any labor regulation, then the business isn't viable and should be replaced by businesses that are. Sorry, but I've got no sympathy for people that engage in wage theft. Every business follows the same rules, big or small.

Jesus...I know the network admin for my company takes a lot on himself(the network goes down 4 times out of 5 whenever he's on any form of unplanned leave), but this guy is trying to become a Lunar.
