Ethan Choi: He’s not drunk, just really upset.

April: Praying for you both <3

Dr. Lanik: Mandatory substance abuse presentation in the projection room today.

Queen Elsa: Isn’t that dramatic?

Dr. Lanik: The last doctor of ours before who had a drinking problem jumped off the roof of the hospital. Given that Dr. Marcel is also struggling, the execs want a presentation about substance abuse and treatment and rehab options covered by our insurance.

Ethan Choi: Yeah I’m gonna be at home with Crockett actually so I won’t be going

Dr. Lanik: This is mandatory.

connor: ok boomer

Dr. Lanik: Number one, we’re the same age. I’m actually pretty sure you’re older than me. Number two, this isn’t a joke.

connor: does he have… a heart?

Dr. Lanik: Very funny.

Maggie<3: I actually do think we should all go, that way if somebody on staff (other than Crockett) is struggling, they can get the support they need

Nat: ^

April: ^^

Dr. Lanik: Half of you will be paged before lunch, the other half afterward. Thank you.

Crockett: jsyk im not mad at you

Dr. Bekker (Blonde): Are you okay?

Crockett: i will be.

finding the ounces (and the words to move forward) // a queen sugar fic, part two

about: a follow up to finding the ounces, in which Charley comes round to Remy’s place -- to sleep, they swear, even if the words they need to say get in the way of that. [read on ao3]

notes: This takes place post-season one finale and post finding the ounces, which I highly suggest reading, even if this could technically stand on its own. + s/o to the anons (one and two) who've requested that I continue this. I've got a borrowed line about floorboards from the Queen Sugar novel by Natalie Baszile because I adore the way she had Remy talk about his house. and I wrote this with the assumption that Charley's only been to Remy's house once, which was in episode seven for the crawfish boil.

oh, and this technically fulfills the prompt for day 14 of the 30 x 31 writing challenge, massages.

Charley tried to remember the last time she'd heard footsteps on old wood, any wood. "I didn't know wood sounded like anything....What are they saying now?"

"They're saying--" Remy cocked his head. "They're saying, 'Don't blow it this time, Newell. Keep your mouth shut and maybe she'll give you a second chance.'"

"I bet she will," Charley said.

Remy crossed the hall. When he was standing right in front of her, Charley shifted her weight again. "What about now?"

He looked at her intently. "They're suggesting that I ask you if you'd like to see the second floor."

-- From “Queen Sugar” by Natalie Baszile

Remy lives far enough out that the majority of his street's empty land leading up to his driveway. Cars grumble against the pavement that's not quite loose gravel but isn't fully smoothed over either. It's a nice way to make sure he hears everyone who's headed his way. The lights from her car beam straight against his front window once she's close. Good thing too, since it gives him the moment or two he needs to pick himself off the couch and head to the front door.

Charley grins from her car. He'd been so worried that she wouldn't find the place, or that she'd get lost on the way there. As if she hasn't been finding hole in the wall places in Southern California for years now. But it's nice, that he cares enough to check up on her and pester her about how to get there. That he doesn't want to miss a second so he waits by the door.

She settles her car into park and grabs her stuff from the passenger seat. She doesn't need much for the night, just some clothes for the morning, her glasses case, her phone charger and, she imagines him to be the type of read before bed so, she has her kindle too. That way she doesn't seem presumptuous.

He cracks the door and holds onto it. The porch lights and hall lights cast a glow around him that's far too flattering for a night meant to be spent quietly. His pajama bottoms -- loose, a navy that stands out against the door -- almost match hers. And sentimental tees seem to be his style too, since he has a faded College of Agriculture shirt on. She has a mom tee from Micah's old school, though her sweater covers that up for now.

Once she's got her car door open, she tells him, "We match." Remy grins, the smile already taking up a good half of his face. "And see, I found you just fine." She clicks the button to make sure her car's locked before heading up the walk.

"So you did." He must be itching to ask her where she got the address, but he lets it go. Waves her over to him. "Come on, before the bugs get inside."

The bugs -- one thing Charley definitely didn't miss about the south. They've loved her forever, snacking away on her the second she'd visit as a kid. A few years back, though, Micah found out about a little trick to calm down the biting type: local honey. Eat some of it for the weeks before heading down, and they'll mistake you for everyone else. She might be a few months in to her new life down here, but she still has honey every morning.

She slips past Remy to get into the house, and the second the door clicks, his free hand finds hers. He tugs her to him, and his eyes trail from hers down to her sweat pants.

He says, "Surprised they aren't name brand."

She rolls her eyes, but the sting isn't behind it. "If it makes you feel any better, I got them at H&M."

He nods and tugs her that much closer. "It does." She winds up nodding with him as she leans in. There's a second, a breath passed between them, where they each seem to remember that this isn't quite normal yet. No established pattern for a kiss in greeting, but she leans up and he swoops down just the same. He clicks the lock on the door. Steps closer until their bodies are flush against each other. Honestly, she should've been the one to move. They could get against the door. Get used to the idea of being alone in his very empty house.

He grumbles against her lips. Sighs as he pulls away and up to his full height. She does her best not to pout since sleeping is the plan for tonight, after all. Because she stands him up to talk to Lena, or to Davis, and he needs some sort of assurance that she's actually here for him and not just any warm body with some farm knowledge.

She blinks him in. "So, what's a girl got to do to get a tour around here?" Casual enough. It breaks a bit of the tension. Gets a chuckle from each of them, and she runs her thumb along the hand still wrapped around hers. He side-steps so he's beside her and leads the way into the house.

There's the foyer, which splits two ways; one is to the living room that bleeds into the dining area; the other's to a hallway with a staircase and the path to the kitchen. He tells her, "I restored most of the house myself about ten years back. There's the living room. Laundry's off the kitchen. I've got an office down here."

"An office," she hums when she says it. She used to have the best home office, all bright and modern with a couch comfy enough to make breaks actually tempting to a workaholic. The front page poster prints all along the walls. Davis probably won't keep them all up. He won't take them down right away, but it's not like he has a lot of use for a giant print of the three of them anymore, does he?

Remy brings her into the kitchen. He lets go of her hand there. "Thirsty? Hungry? I probably should've asked sooner."

"I'm fine, Remy." But her throat scratches when she tries to clear it, and he goes for a glass anyway. His cabinets aren't too high up. She could get to everything but the top shelves with her bare feet. His paper towel holder's next to the coffee pot -- standard, but it has a timer at least. Little sunflower artwork covers one wall. She points to them while he pours some water. "You like sunflowers?"

He nods but ticks his head to the side at the end. "Shauna did. So I came to love them." He sticks the water pitcher back into the fridge. "I, uh--" He holds the glass out to her while he crosses close to the art. "I like what they stand for. Did you know they follow the sun? They turn towards it. So I've got a little patch 'round the side of the house to remind me to follow the light."

She could use a reminder like that. She sips at the water. "Focus on the good."

He clarifies, "Focus on what reminds you that you're alive." He raps a knuckle against one of the tiles. "Come on, I really do have to get some sleep at some point. Let's head upstairs."

No hand holding on this part of the trip. Which is good. Easy. Means they don't have to walk up the steps at any specific pace, and she doesn't have to feel his pulse jump in his fingers as they get closer to his bedroom. He won't feel hers do it either. But he can see the way her jaw tightens when he glances back down from a few steps ahead. She tries grinning around the tension, but he notes it. Slows his pace and stops at the head of the stairs to point to his left.

"The guest bedroom's that way," he says, "and the master's on the right." A little end table's behind him with another vase of sunflowers, and a framed picture of him and a woman. Probably his wife, obviously beautiful. Though, Charley's not too sure if commenting on his late wife will help or hurt them at this point. She heads to the right, and he follows her.

The door's still open, so she can see right into it. Bookshelves as tall as the ceiling on one side of the room. A door to the closet beside that. A king sized bed with a navy comforter and pillows that look like they'd swallow her whole. He has two bedside tables with lamps and a book on the right side.

"So you are a reader," she says, crossing to it. It's not until he laughs that she realizes she hadn't mentioned that train of thought to him. She wheels around. "I'd figured you would be. You seem the type."

He strolls into the room, taking his time as he goes. His eyes light up the longer he watches her, and all of the tension from his body seems to melt at the sight of her here. He sits down on the edge of the bed, on the left side. "Yeah, I usually read a few pages a night. Helps to calm me down. What about you? I bet you stare at your phone until your eyes hurt."

She laughs sarcastically and readies herself to sit on the bed. Lowers herself onto the right side with her cup still in her hand.

"I usually have things to do. I'm not scrolling through Twitter aimlessly," she tells him.

"Oh no, you're scrolling with a purpose." He's mocking her, but she'll take it. She'd take a lot from him.

"Like you don't have any bad habits," she says.

"I don't!" He shifts a bit so he's facing her. "I brush my teeth every night. Floss. Rinse." He chuckles. "I even pick my outfit for the morning."

She snorts. "Which plaid shirt shall I wear tomorrow." She has to dodge the swat he sends her way, but it's worth it. "I like the shirts."

"You better. It's most of my wardrobe." He laughs again, and it turns into a yawn about halfway. Spreads and curses her to do the same. She shakes her head to fight it. Winds up noticing the small speaker beside the book. He must see her staring because he says, "Music helps on quiet nights. Sometimes, I'm so tired I knock right out, but some nights are worse than others."

Some nights, she rolls over in bed still expecting Davis to be beside her. She catches herself before she rolls the whole way out of bed at least. Though, it took a few falls before her reflexes started kicking in. And she always feels too cold, and the bed's too big no matter what size she's sleeping in. Even the twin sized air mattress at Aunt Vi's -- the one she and Micah switch off on every once in a while -- feels endless and isolated.

She blinks herself back to the moment, and Remy nods again. It's almost like they're back in one of their early conversations, about loss and grief and rebuilding around the people who need her. He'd once told her that she had people who only wanted the best for her. What people does he have? She might not have been entirely present while walking through the house, but there's not a lot of other family on the walls. Not a lot of friends either.

"You don't have many people in your life, do you, Remy?"

His lips thin out a bit. "I can't say I do. But I have the other farmers. I meet with colleagues twice a month. I have -- had -- Brother Ernest for a while there. Actually, wait here." He gets up and heads out the room. His feet pad along the hardwood, which is definitely one of the best things about a wooden floor, hearing the other people.

At Vi's, she can't hear people's feet, just their voices and the sounds around the rest of their lives. Vi's always cooking something, or fixing something, or talking to somebody on the phone. Micah tends to stay pretty quiet, but once he's comfortable, he plays TV shows out loud from his laptop. Plays music he knows won't get him into trouble. And when Nova's there, the keys click through the whole house, no matter what else they turn on. But it's nice, to hear other people, to know they're there.

Here, she can hear the floorboards. Hear his heels and the beat between each footfall. When she closes her eyes, she can hear his laugh off the walls, hear him in an echo as he tells her about being an irrigation specialist, and a professor, that he cuts hair, and that she has to commit to something instead of worrying about everything. She can hear the scratch of his pen on the paper as he sketches out plans for the drains and stints. Hear pages turn in his book and the crinkle of his shirt as he lifts it over his head. But she doesn't hear anyone else.

The stairs creak. Her eyes pop back open, and if there were ever a time to scoot to the head of the bed and try to appear casual, it would be now. So she scoots, and she sets her bag down on the ground, sets her water on the bedside table. He's reading a book about gardening. He really lives this stuff, doesn't he?

"Okay, here." He ducks back into the room with a picture in his hands. A private sort of grin covers the bottom of his face, and his eyes have a misty glow when he holds the picture out to her. Her jaw quakes before she even touches it. Her throat spasms. His hand might cover part of the photo, but her daddy smiles up at her from the part she can see.

He shifts his grip to free up the rest of the pic. The Remy in the photo's at least five years younger, but he's still got a hat bigger than his head and a plaid shirt more fitting of a picnic blanket. Her dad's shirt matches perfectly though, exact same cut, length, and everything. Remy's thrown his arm around Ernest's shoulders, and they're mid-laugh, Remy's head's thrown back and Ernest's is forward so the sun nestles in the grey of his hair.

"Oh." It comes out as a breath, a watery, choked little breath. Remy crawls across the bed. Settles in next to her and keeps holding it since she can't seem to get the rest of her to move just yet. Honestly, she hasn't seen a lot of pictures of her dad since he passed. Minus the ones from the repass, and the few around the house, but she's seen all of those. She knows them enough to tell anyone exactly who took it, when, and what was happening. But this.... "He looks so happy."

And Remy laughs in a full bodied way. "I stepped out the truck in the same exact shirt. He called Ralph Angel to take it, but you know your brother. He wanted to be right in the middle of it. So Wood took the camera and he swatted Ralph Angel out for not keeping with the program." He runs the pad of a finger over a corner. "It's probably one of the only pictures we ever took. I keep it on my desk. But... if you wanted it... I could always print another."

He wants her to cry, doesn't he? That's the whole plan of the night. Make her fucking bawl her eyes out the first time she's alone with him like this. How can he sit here and offer her this? How can he -- how can she say no? She gets one hand up to grab the picture. Actually, on the edge on the right side, there's a bit of a sleeve. She laughs. "Ralph Angel?"

He nods. "That's your brother."

Her whole body feels hollow. "He hates me."

Remy shakes his head immediately. "He looks up to you, always has. He used to tell me all about what his big sister did in California. Bragged to everybody who'd listen that she worked for the Gladiators and --" He stops himself.

She finishes it, "And her husband's the star?" Because her accomplishment alone couldn't have been enough to make people envious. He'd want to add that in. Makes sense, people could see Davis and know he was successful. See the ring, the perfect family, everything but the truth. He only cared about himself. That's not what Charley wants out of life anymore. She wants people who hang their pots and pans on nails on the walls and cook their eggs in bacon grease and actually care enough to never once let anyone off the hook.

Like Violet. Vi wouldn't give Davis so much as a glass of water when he came down here. Because that's the kind of woman she is. She'll love and nurture every person on this planet who needs her, until they mess up. Until they betray the trust she's given them.

But not everyone's like Violet. Ralph Angel sure isn't. He's more like Davis -- caring to an extent, but he doesn't seem to have a lot of wiggle room for people who don't fit into his plan just right. He'll keep details to himself, and he will spout off if someone doesn't agree with him. He'll rage. Or lash out privately. She's sure Darla knows all kinds of awful things about her by now. Blue too, if he's been listening.

Her point, she thinks, is that Ralph Angel doesn't love her any more than Davis did. He doesn't respect her, doesn't know the depths of her enough to trust her to be there for him.

Remy clears his throat. "Now I walked straight into that one," he says. "But it's good. I wanted to talk about him again, in person."

She smoothes the corner of the picture. "Can't we just go to sleep?"

"We could, but I think we should at least start talking about it. You said it's over with him."

"It is." Tonight proved that. Standing in that hotel room with him touching her, kissing her -- every cell in her body caught on fire, but at the same time, it was like a wound that cauterized, burned to the point where it was clean and sealed. She's about as done as she can be.

Remy grins. "I don't doubt it. I just want to say I'm sorry for putting you in a position where you could feel pressured to figure things out so quick. One second I'm telling you to take time and sit with it, and the next I'm... inviting you to spend the night."

She cocks her head to the side, smirks just a bit. "Technically, I invited myself."

"You did."

"But...?"

He stares out instead of at her. To the lamp on the bedside table. "But I've wanted this for a long time, Charley. Longer than is appropriate. And the more I got to know you, got to see what an extraordinary, brilliant, gorgeous, sexy woman you are --" He bites his lip before he meets her eyes again. "-- I knew I didn't care one bit about your ex. Not when there was even a chance that you could see the same in me."

This man's going to kill her if he keeps talking like this. She's already on the verge of doing something stupid, and here he is spilling his heart out. And it's not like she hasn't thought of this before. She knows -- she knew then -- that his feelings were changing from platonic to a lot more. She could sense it, in the crinkles of his eyes and the ease in his laugh. He shared his light with her as easily as he did his wisdom. His pain at losing his wife, at losing a friend in Ernest, and also his hope for what this specific harvest could mean for each and every one of them.

He tells her, "I tried to push it away, but when the storm happened, even before the night at Violet's, you remember when you tried putting up the board without gloves on?"

He'd tsked at her. Four times. "You told me I'd get splinters all in my hand."

He nods. "You would've. If not for the gloves. And you didn't have to, but you took off your ring before putting the gloves on, and, Charlotte Bordelon, I swear every hair on my arms stood on end." And every hair on hers spikes at the sound of her name like that, the bass of his whisper when he calls for her attention. His eyes go to her hand, and it jumps. Even as she tells herself not to move. "I watched you wiggle the ring free and slip it away into your pocket. And it felt like you were saying something. Then I felt like a vulture for even thinking that's what it was."

But that was what it was. It was the first time she'd taken the ring off with any thought of Remy in mind. And she'd spent the next ten minutes with it burning in her pocket, but by the time they'd made it back to the car to head to Violet's, by the time the rain came in and they laughed in the doorway, she'd adjusted. Forgotten the weight in her pocket and the lack on her finger. Forgotten everything but how warm her chest felt even as the rest of her was freezing.

Remy says, "I asked myself, what kind of a person prays for the end of a marriage?"

Nova probably. With her married cop of an ex-boyfriend. Milena, maybe. But Milena hadn't seemed swept up in the dream of taking Charley's place. She'd seemed content with her lot, being Davis' girl and the perks wrapped up with that. And Lorna, Charley's mother, she could've felt that way. But none of these women.... No, these women are in the wrong. They perpetuate these lies, these injustices on the sanctity of a relationship. But Remy hadn't done anything wrong. If anything, Charley -- she has to put the picture down.

"Remy, you didn't end my marriage. Davis did. And I might have invited you to help me let it go, but you shouldn't have to feel guilty for wanting something." Not when it's already been thrown away.

"Still," and here he does take her hands, "I've spent months working my way around to this, and I have a huge head start on starting over." He's got years on her at this point. His thumbs knead at the back of her hands. "If this becomes too much, if it's going too fast, if you need a break--"

"I'm fine, Remy." How many times has she said that sentence?

"How many times have you said that?" He waits. "Really. And how many times have you meant it?"

She doesn't even know what fine is anymore. She'd been fine at the mill, when her pushing had led to a date. Fine when the farmers agreed to hear her out. Fine when he'd defended her with Ralph Angel. But she's not always fine on her own. Isn't really fine unless she's saving all the farmers, or hearing her praises sung. Unless she has a purpose.

She groans, and he keeps on kneading. Massaging out the tension as she squeezes down on his hands. "I've never been patient," she says. Not once.

He swoops his head over to hers and nudges their foreheads together. "Lucky for you, I'm pretty good at that. Now, come on, let's try and sleep."

Her laugh rips out from her. Their foreheads clash, and he winces. "Now I'm all...." She can't find a word, so she makes a sound.

"I'd say I could give you a massage, but I get the feeling that wouldn't help much."

She shakes her head. "Not if you want to actually sleep tonight."

"Mkay." He lets go of her hands and scoots back. "But you're on my side. Move over."

"Your side?" She repeats it with raised brows and a tilt of her chin. She doesn't even have to tease him further. He narrows his eyes in his playful way, and her chest expands now that they're easing back to something familiar. They might need to take things a little slower, or at least parcel some of this news next time. She sets the picture of him and her dad on top of his book. Says, "I'm kind of comfy over here."

But he doesn't respond with words. He does a little hum, gives a nod, and then he reaches out and rolls her over to the other side of the bed. She shrieks, just a little, and her wide eyes land somewhere between shocked, affronted, and mildly turned on. He laughs. She really needs to read a book or something at this point, anything to distract herself before she winds up worked up.

He says, "We can revisit sides when you're ready."

If he keeps throwing her around like that, he can have any side he wants. Trust.

Part 10: Yelp

Start helping others by sharing your experiences

As you may recall, I said I would cover Yelp this week, and I plan to remain true to my word. But, I want to be honest with you; I woke up this morning thinking about video. Specifically, short 30-second videos with the latest news of the day posted on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat. But, since I promised Yelp, Yelp you shall have. Next week I will talk to you about how I plan to revolutionize Fort Polk’s internal communication program 30 seconds at a time.

About Yelp

My favorite source of social networking statistics, Dreamgrow, lists Yelp as number nine on their Top 10 Social Networking Sites by Market Share of Visits leading me to add Yelp to my list of social networking sites to review. At number nine on Dreamgrow’s list, Yelp has 0.85 percent of market share visits. That miniscule 0.85 percent does not sound like much until you realize it represents about 31.5 million visits per week. Yelp started about 13 years ago when the two founders raised a million dollars to start the company. Since then, the company has grown to a value of around $2 billion, down from a high of around $5 billion three or four years ago. The name Yelp comes from a pseudo-portmanteau of yellow pages and help.

But, what is it?

I also added Yelp, because the site was useful when I first moved to Louisiana two years ago. The part of Louisiana where I live was previously a no man’s land between Spanish and French-held territories. Because of that, Fort Polk has a reputation as being in the middle of nowhere, with swamps, alligators, and cottonmouths. But right in the middle of nowhere sits Leesville, Louisiana, population 6,000; but somehow supporting dozens of restaurants including some unforgettable selections such as Fat Boy and Skinny’s, BubbaQue’s, The Mustard Seed, Schnitzel Haus and Wagon Master Steak House. This blog post is not a restaurant review for Central Louisiana; I just wanted to point out that upon arrival in Louisiana, I might get eaten by an alligator or bit by a cottonmouth, but I was certainly not going to starve to death. And I learned that thanks to Yelp. I mostly use Yelp as a place to find out about restaurants, but information is available about a wide range of businesses from locksmiths to doctors.

Who hangs out on Yelp?

What do you call people who hang out on Yelp? Yelpies? Yelpers? Food critics? According to this article, Arizona Restaurateur Launches All-Out War Against Yelpers, at Eater newsletter, Yelper is the most commonly used word to describe a Yelp food critic. A quick scan of the Internet shows that Yelpers are not universally loved and appreciated for their efforts to provide useful information on places to eat and other area businesses. Obviously, the critics of yelpers are not too concerned about starving to death or being eaten by an alligator. But, I am getting off track. According to Yelp’s online factsheet, 37.7 percent of Yelpers are between the ages of 35 and 54, perhaps a bit older than the average Snapchatter. What I find interesting is that almost 60 percent of Yelpers have a college education and 45 percent earn over $100 thousand a year.

Yelper Elite

I was digging around on Yelp trying to find out who in Leesville is using Yelp socially, but no luck. New Orleans, on the other hand, has some action. Owen H. a Yelper Elite from Sydney, Australia, posted a note about two weeks ago thanking all the Yelpers from New Orleans for the advice that made his tour group’s visit fabulous. There are also posts from people looking for rental cars, conference rooms and other types of businesses. Everyone receives a response from a NOLA Yelper. Overall, I would say a lot of people who are interested in talking about food hang out on Yelp. I will end this section with a New Orleans Food Bucket List by Morgan F. I am embarrassed to say that the one place I ate in New Orleans is not on her bucket list, though they certainly had a wonderful oyster po-boy.

Images and Text

There is nothing fancy about the media format on Yelp. I find mostly photos of food with a bit of text about the facility and staff. A giant plate of crawfish boil and a cold beer are visually tempting enough that most people probably don’t need any fancy gifs or mpegs.

What brands are on Yelp?

Let’s talk about the crème de la crème of great brands, Apple. As you would expect, lots of Apple stores can be found on Yelp. The New Orleans Apple Store is claimed, but I found no employee interaction on the reviews. And the reviews indicate that particular store has a lot of unhappy customers.

Finding brands on Yelp can be difficult. Yelp always wants to know where you are searching for a brand, and if you leave the location blank, the search function unhelpfully searches the last place you searched. I found Coca-Cola in Atlanta but the page was unclaimed. Mercedes-Benz of New Orleans is claimed. It took some convincing, but I finally forced Yelp to show me Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Disney has claimed the page, but I could find no example where Disney staff interacted with Yelpers, not even those who had complaints that could have probably been mitigated with a well-crafted response.

Troy’s Tantalizing Tidbits

Yelp has an online guide on how to respond to reviews. According to Sharon Elise, a former account executive at Yelp, some business owners believe if they ignore Yelp, it will go away, some don’t like to use the Internet and others think that Yelp is a conspiracy to extort business owners. According to How Small Businesses Should Be Using Yelp on Forbes, “businesses that claim their free Yelp business page generate, on average, $8,000 in incremental revenue each year.”

Conclusion

We have not talked about what businesses operated by the Army on Fort Polk have claimed Yelp accounts. Oh! There are none. I cannot think of any reason why facility managers of business operations should not claim their businesses and at the very least ensure operating hours, address, and telephone number are correct, and even occasionally interact with a customer.
