They said that Mastercard and Diners Club merged
That part is true, at least.
They have an alliance agreement, but that went into effect a year ago. They are still 2 separate companies.

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?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ah, the fine details of finance. You should probably listen to ChiKat.
I should probably go home and take a nap. Or eat something.

I get paid to pay attention to mergers and acquisitions. Can't help myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Like getting paid was ever an excuse for doing anything!

Our wings are not tired.
Wishes for prompt honest contractors and the return of utilities for your family Dana. What a mess. We still get quite a bit of New Orleans news here. Probably because of the shared hurricane interest. Cleanup is very slow going.
Count me with the feeling ucky people. Not sick enough to keep me from functioning, but foggy headed and a little dizzy. Blah.
Good luck on the review Aims. May they recognize your brilliance.
It's raining here. We had to give up and close the windows and put the A/C back on because of the dampness. Yuck.

huh. I just called our help line and indeed it is a legitimate exercise in machine reprogramming. Would still like some backup though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, if I've been interpreting assignment page limits to be single-spaced so far this semester, because of the amount of stuff I had to cover in previous assignments, can I switch to double-spaced because I don't have anything to say in this paper?

Nora, my guess is that because of the alliance they formed last year, your machine will need to be reprogrammed to accept Diners Club numbers. Basically, with the alliance, DC cards now have MC logos on them so that more merchants will take them.
This is just a guess, tho. I could be talking out of my butt. Again.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need a new reason for not being curled up in bed and wallowing in my plague state. Being at work isn't cutting it anymore.

You were probably on shakier ground with the earlier ones, I'd say.
