We are talking statistics, right?
Yeah, Spearman's rho and whatnot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think more than anything, for me it makes me more aware of all the dumbfucks who are rolling up 2 inches. And then another two inches. And then again. Every 20 seconds or so. WHICH ANNOYS ME. Come to a stop at a reasonable distance and stay there. Don't do this slow rolling shit that requires me to pay attention.
They rank up there with the standards on a slight incline who instead of using the brake, play the clutch, rolling back and forth incrementally. USE THE BRAKE.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sophia, what city do you live in again? It'll take me just a couple of minutes to check your city's landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities/rent board/whatnot. Because if you can tack on a couple of "City Ordinance # blah-blah-numbercakes states that..." and "According to local statute # yadda-yadda-digitcakes..." it helps.
I got soundly ignored by my ex-landlords when I moved out of Berkeley and in with Hec, and sent them a letter including a couple of local ordinance #s and print-outs of the city's webpages for the ordinances, and cc'ing the Berkeley Rent Board and a family friend who happened to be a lawyer (something totally unrelated to landlord-tenant disputes, but my ex-landlords had no way of knowing that), and within a week I got my full deposit back plus interest.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I normally drive an automatic, but I'm driving a stick today. I have a lot less leeway in how close I have to get the seat to steering wheel in order to put the clutch in. Almost got a cramp in my left calf before I figured that out. But I learned to drive on a standard and the reflexes have never quite gone away.

Thrive to spite them
I need some help. I'm planning an event thing for work in September. There will be appx 30 people (looking at last years attendance) and the theme is "Teamwork" (my idea). I need some games. The only thing I've come up with is splitting people into small groups and having them figure out how many words they can make from TEAMWORK in X amount of time. I realize I'm going to hve to figure out how many words I can make --but hey! I have until september.
There needs to be at least one more relatively simple game and I can't think of anything.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
They can name their team (the crazier the better) and come up with a pitch to sell their concept to the other team.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
