Who is it in Chicago that's a Mary Kay rep? Is it ChiKat?
Yep. Feel free to give her my email address (in profile). I'll be glad to chat with her about it.
We'll be in our bunk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Yet all the Regency heroes are at least 6'.
Well, 99.9% of Regency heroes are noble or at least gentry, so it makes sense that they'd be well-fed enough to reach modern English heights. The statistic was for enlisted men, who then as now tended to come disproportionately from the poor and desperate segments of society. I deliberately made my own commoner enlisted hero the son of a reasonably prosperous innkeeper who ran away to join the army in a fit of youthful romance and itchy-footedness so I could make him well-nourished enough to look like a hero. Except for the part where he's only 5'10" (though I never explicitly spell out his height), has red hair (much more popular for heroines than heroes), and is skinny (I call it "lean" or "wiry").

I'm one of those freaks that listen to the e-mail groups bitching about the tremendous storage problems they have.
I'm not going to tell you how many I have in some of my mailboxes. The scary thing is, about 3 times a year, this hoarding save my (or someone else's) ass.
It's terrible, but the main function I use for documenting stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Feel free to give her my email address (in profile). I'll be glad to chat with her about it.
Will do! Thanks!

I'd think it'd be a good idea to at least keep your sent and received emails. You could archive them once a month or something.
Hoo-boy, we keep everything around here. "Deep and wide" is our mantra. You never know when shit's going to fly about something noone's thought about in months, and it's helpful to be able to pull up the ass-cover on a moment's notice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Heh. Buffy shout-out, or mere amusing coincidence?

(actually, this reminded me I hadn't gone through the ones I keep logs in since...well, a long time. And that stuff I only need about the last month's data. So I just deleted 2500 messages.)

Does anyone else get to the end of the thread, put the cursor in the post box, and hit paste just to see if, at some point, they had something to say?
Just me? Okay then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
we keep everything around here
We're not supposed to. Internal CYA is nice, but external liability is more important. I think the decision is to err on the side of "If you haven't made it official, yank it."
In theory. It's apparent I'm the only one that listens to Email or Retention.

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