Don't! You worked for it, you earned it. That's not pretense.
ION, I sometimes have the most trivial of thoughts.

I just read the LA Times article about the power outage. This has to be the stupidest thing I've heard today:
One customer, George Orellana, a 35-year-old paralegal, said, "We walked down seven flights. It felt like the 9/11. We didn't know what was going on.
"I've been here 25 years," Orellana said. "This has never happened."
I mean, seriously. The power was out for what? 2-3 hours? Plus I've personally experienced several power outages in my 6 years here. Has this person been hiding in a gas-powered bunker for their 25 years?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think I'm one of Tim's "people."
Or part of his "entourage."
ahhhhh ha ha ha ha
Makes me laugh.
But I bet it feels gooooodddd...
It feels...unbelievable. I feel unworthy and like I'm a hack who will be discovered as a hack at any moment.

Sheesh. In my rural childhood, I once endured a 4-day power outtage. Ice storm knocked out lines all over the state, and those of us way out in the country were low priority. I was 8 or 9 and thought it was a fun adventure. And 2-3 hours wasn't uncommon during thunderstorm season.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
"inadvertenly cut a power cable" at a DWP substation in West Los Angeles.When I was a wee kid, I was sitting on a barstool in the kitchen and talking on the phone. And there was a pair of scissors on the counter. So, I am spinning on the barstool, talking on the phone while wrapping the cord around, snipping in the air and not having a care in the world. Spiiiiiiiiiin. Wind up. Talk. Spinnnn the other way. Unwind. Talk. Snip. No more talk.
I wasn't allowed to play with scissors after that.
Someone from DWP should call my parents and tell them that it wasn't my fault, it was inadvert.

That chick will be the one referring to the next thunderstorm as LA's Katrina.

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?

You're little late. We started lining up a while ago. Grab a lawn chair and have a seat.
