My office is a plague pit, and I am one of the diseased. There's lots of sneezing and coughing and blowing of noses. Thankfully we don't share computers.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Why would they do that? I think they'd more likely just be backup. Why would someone else need/want to deal with the hissyfits? Also, you've put in work, wouldn't you get some part of your fee anyway? I guess what I'm asking is, is that an actual possibility or just a fear?
Probably just a fear. And since this is by far the biggest wedding I've handled so far, and the first with an on-site reception, it might be wise of me to see if one of the others would be willing to drop by for part of the time just to help out with all the fellowship hall usage issues I'm unfamiliar with.
Anyway. Email has been sent. I explained, apologized for the misunderstanding without any groveling or abjectness, and said something to the effect that if the additional expense was a problem, let me know and we'd find a way to work something out.

Right on. Hopefully she won't flip out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hopefully she won't flip out.
Is she a ninja?

Jackets never fit me well (always look gigantic) so the shrunken ones might fit like normal. I'm not sure why jackets are big on me - I'm not tiny and I do have boobs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I haven't tried on any shrunken jackets and they actually look really good on the models, it's just the name that frightens me.

What is even happening?
Susan, if you do have to work something out with her, perhaps you can split the difference--that is, take $30 out of your own fee--not as much of an ouchie to your pocketbook, but she might feel like she's winning.

Yeah, "shrunken" anything doesn't sound too nice. Maybe they should have gone with "fitted."
