Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've been in the nonprofit area for a long time, working for small to smallish associations doing graphic design, designing and running the web site, some editing for the monthly journal, and a little low-level tech support (a large portion of it is making sure everything's plugged in and turned on).

I'm also getting tired of DC - the heat, the humidity, the insane costs, the public transit system that seems to be staggering under the load, the stodginess.

I checked the find your spot web site ... they keep telling me I should move to Milwaukee.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

The insane costs are here, too. Here's a site for higher education jobs. I know there are sites for non-profit jobs but I don't know the names/URLs. [link]

Toddson! You must come the the F2F. It's not negotiable. The word non-profit does not mean "take advantage of the people willing to work hard."

Thanks - I'll have to start doing some serious looking.

Goodnight sweet Buffistas - I'll go home and dream of you!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The game itself? It's leisurely compared to other professional sports.

Yeah, right. Have you ever seen cricket? Baseball is cricket with ADHD.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Cricket isn't a sporting event.

Cricket is a military campaign with starched white underpants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Baseball is cricket with ADHD.

And without tea and sandwiches.

If it's a military campaign, it's from WWI. A whole heap of not much happening punctuated by occasional frenzy. (Probably Gallipoli.)

Yep. That's it exactly - Gallipoli, without the trenches or the screams of anguish.

Although I suppose it could be a bit earlier - maybe the siege at Paeschaendale, during the Boer War? You know, people in climate-inappropriate clothing drinking tea as bodies fall around them...?
