Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

They're the ones who are ticketing you. Shouldn't they have all the information? It's definitely not worth looking for if there's any chance it could make you late. Courts really frown on late.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I should have plenty of time to go home first if I leave now.

eta: OK, I'm going home, then to court. Wish me low-fine~ma....

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

At the university we have at least four casual Fridays a month, sometimes five. Same for casual Mondays through Thursdays.

Same for the company I work for. One of the perks of working here.

It's becoming clear to me that I really need a job with a loose dress code, even though they tend to pay less. I've been working office jobs for years and years and years, and I can't keep decent work clothes in my closet.

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

The dress code here is looser than at my previous job -- guys are often in polo shirts. No T-shirts without collars, no jeans or cords, no running shoes, no sweats, no shorts, no sandals without back strap, always wear hose/socks/tights/whatever, always sleeves. I think guys are also supposed to tuck in their shirts, but that's not observed.

I like it. I dress a little bit more conservatively than the rules allow, primarily to mitigate boobie staring.

Our dress code is business casual, which means we can even get away with t-shirts (as long as they aren't blatantly undershirts or offensive) and jeans. I have a whole drawerful of ties I haven't used in over a decade (what with having been here 11+ years). I tend to still go with the collared shirts, but sometimes I will allow myself to dress down on a Friday.

Mr. DeLay, a Texas Republican, turned his attention to social conservatives gathered at a Washington hotel and described what he viewed as the intertwined struggle to save Ms. Schiavo, expand the conservative movement and defend himself against accusations of ethical lapses.

"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo, to help elevate the visibility of what is going on in America," Mr. DeLay told a conference organized by the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group. A recording of the event was provided by the advocacy organization Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Huh. No wonder I scored as a Satanist on that religion quiz.

Our office is officially business casual, but in practice, it's casual-casual unless the bigwigs from London are in town or I'm covering reception.

In other office news, we were just told that this Thursday will be the last massage day until the renovations are done, sometime in June or July. This is most unpleasant news.

Oh, and anyone looking for an NYC-based internship? Must have people skills.
