009 [Video]
[After a month or so of mostly sticking to text and voice, Lance is back to video for another network broadcast. He's still looking a little unwell, but definitely better than in his last post or any time he's spoken with someone in person since then.
He was also fortunate enough to be in his apartment when the dust storm started, so he doesn't have to camp out in some public place or with people he doesn't like. Hurray! And since pretty much everyone is stuck inside somewhere, this actually ends up being a good time to make a network post to address a few things.]
Hello, everyone. For those who just arrived or otherwise haven't met me yet, I'm Dr. Lance Sweets, and I'm a psychologist; if anyone ever needs or wants to speak to someone professionally, whether about being here or otherwise, you're welcome to send a message or call at any time.
[And that usual note out of the way--]
But I also wanted to discuss something somewhat unrelated, which is the subject of creating an organized directory of who has what skills that they're willing to teach, if asked. Many here want to learn new skills or hobbies, whether due to practicality or boredom or otherwise, but it can be difficult to figure out who to ask especially if you're new and may not want to either use the network for a general announcement, or approach someone you may not know individually.
So a list of who is willing to teach what skills, and who is alright with being asked to do so, would be beneficial a lot of people here. I can compile and maintain it as a file that can be shared.
[It's not like he's doing a whole lot at the moment, having pretty much quit working at the Clinic. He seems to briefly consider continuing with another topic but then ends the feed there; the other thing he wanted to discuss probably wouldn't go over as well as the first one, and he'd prefer everyone not get distracted.]

[He was high on cough medicine, not anything actually fun. :c]
I might take you up on that sometime, thanks.
[But that last part is a bit of a surprise, and since Harlan already obviously knows--presumably Michael told him him--Lance doesn't need to deny having spoken with Michael, though he still can't say too much.]
You don't owe me anything, but I'm glad it helped.
no subject

ok well regardless take me up on it.
im workin on a fix for michael too so dw abt him if u were.
[He's very familiar with the whole confidentiality thing, and he assumes that won't be too different where Lance is from. He appreciates the discretion. He's not about to get into details, anyway. He's not sure how much Michael told Lance, either.]
no subject
I'm glad. If there's anything I can do, just let me know.
[Because he's still going to worry, although that reassurance means he might worry less now at least.]
no subject
