Just for fun, here is a chunk of text from an article I'm editing right now:
I like all of you too much to subject you to snippets of what I'm editing right now. Not to mention that I'm probably not allowed to talk about it outside of the Evil Empire.

I would like the 'pre' part of my PMS to be over with now, thank you. Even if it does mean that when I pack for the fancy goth event this weekend I will have to make sure I have tampons and muscle relaxants.
In the ongoing "And what planet exactly did you come from?" trial, Michael Jackson showed up at court, late, in his pajamas.
erika, here's a resource for you: Your PI News Blogspot. I see this woman, Tamara Thompson, profiled in a local paper. She's a private investigator and this is her blog for the business. It's nuts and bolts stuff, but she's got lots of good links as well.
But this one's even better, Johnny Angel's Outlaw column, which used to run in the LA Weekly. Beautiful little real life portraits of criminals and how they do their jobs. This one links to a Fixer, but you can root around in the LA Weekly archives for his other stuff.

Sometimes that's all it takes.
I'll have to bring my A game, though, as opposed to B plus like today.
If Sgt. Randy is a PIO, you can bring your C- game and it will be fine -- his job is answering questions. Seriously. Crazy, annoying people don't wonder if they're being crazy and annoying, so worrying so much proves you are neither.
And about MJ ... are we sure it's literal pajamas, or could it be just pajama-looking wide pants? His style sense would certaiinly allow for the latter.
