She's got the high eyes.
It's also 4/...21.

Do not underestimate the effect 4/20 can have on the willing portion of the populace. I've only been capable of participating in the one, 2 years ago, but I promise you, the next day I was level as a ship, looking high as a kite. Appearance carries over, even when the high does not

--- Quote from: Omega Entity on 21 Apr 2015, 19:45 ---If someone smokes weed occasionally, fine, but personally I generally have a poor view of people who seem to light up as much as she does.
--- End quote ---
Omega, this upsets me. Though I haven't had the pleasure even once since I've been a part of these forums, if I had my druthers, I'd be on the next plane more often than not, and I'm sad to see you looking down on such behavior.
It's not how often Tai tokes up, it's how little she considers the consequences. For fuck's sake, chick, you're at fucking WORK.
BLAZE IN YOUR OWN GODDAMN TIME OKAY?

It been my personal experience that (most) people who spend a large amount of time high aren't very productive - and usually annoy me. There are exceptions, of course, but that's mostly what I've seen. If that makes you dislike me, so be it.
On the latter part, the frequency of her toking up at work can be an indication of a larger disregard for boundaries than previously thought. Of course, we already knew she had a major problem with those, so....

I think her appearance here goes far beyond that. Comp!etly bloodshot eyes and major bags under the eyes are a pretty big tell.
And in a visual medium, if and artist wants to portray 'high as kite' without saying as such, this is a perfect example of how to do so. Why bother with even making her look like that, if it's not intended to come across as being high? It'd be like drawing lots of smoke, but there being nothing on fire.

I suspect if Claire wants a "proper" evaluation, she'll have to write it up herself. Then have Tai sign it. (Which she'll be happy to do.)
I've never seen any indication that Tai takes her position at all seriously. Marten, Claire, Emily, Momo et al have had a free hand to do whatever they like, which fortunately includes keeping the place going. As deadwood goes, Tai is fairly benign.
chaospersonified:
Omega, it doesn't upset me. People are idiots, even when they aren't high. High people just let their idiocy be more known. As to my own experience, slightly-high me makes normal me look like a lazy bum. So much shit gets done if I'm in that golden space between barely-high and stoned-off-my-ass.
Bags under-the-eyes indicate lack of sleep, which can otherwise be suggested by bloodshot eyes. If we didn't know Tai's history of marijuana usage, all of this would indicate nothing. We saw Marten with bags beneath his eyes dueing the Faye-pocalypse, yet no one suggested he was high.
