I'd rather have another stall or two than the sofa.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Chamber pots in the book I read.
You barely even need to move your skirts for those.
My paternal grandmother didn't have indoor plumbing. Well, she did in the kitchen/showers, but they weren't attached to the house. So midnight pee meant going across the way (towards the graves) to the outhouse in the dark (she only had electricity in her kitchen too), or using the chamberpot under the bed.
TRAUMA. I was such a little prima donna.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IIRC, Chamber pots in the book I read.
If I had to choose, I'd pick toilets over jeans any day.

Internet? I thought you just had couches in there. Throw in some coffee and you gals would never, ever have to leave.
I love the old Dilbert cartoon that had Dilbert and Wally overhearing some passing coworkers talking as they were heading for the ladies bathroom, discussing what movie they were going to watch on the big-screen TV there.

I have never figured out what some women do in the bathroom. I have stood waiting outside a stall for 10 minutes. Are they changing their identities?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My great great grandmother refused to ever wear anythign other than long skirts without undies (or so the story goes, I imagine she wore a blouse of some sort as well), because she so cherished the ability to squat in a field.
We're a refined and dignified people.

Up with the sun
On a completely different topic, how many words to a page would you ballpark for single-spaced 12-point Times New Roman on 8.5x11 paper? I'd always thought 500 or so, but my new boss keeps saying something much higher, and I don't want to argue with her.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Are they changing their identities?
Well, now that they've taken out all the phone booths...

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I know I'm usually the one who answers these questions, but...
I'm looking at a job listing where applicants are instructed to email resumes to jim@whatever.org. I've been poking around the website, but haven't been able to determine the last name and title of Jim. So do use the salutation "Dear Jim" or "To Whom It May Concern"?
