Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, that was exciting. My final took me a half hour. Now I wait for the calls to come in. @@

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

From tommyrot's link:

a shitty tip is, by my definition, any gratuity under 17%

That seems a pretty high threshold to me.

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

I'M HOME!!

And this time, it only took *2* hours! O happy day!

I am mostly packed. I think. There is barely room for my clothes. RIDICULOUS.

If I'm forgetting something or not packing warmly enough OH WELL. I do need to straighten up around here though. It's clean, just cluttered. God, is it cluttered.

Go eat msbelle! Just chew carefully.

It depends on where the restaurant is, I think. 17% is definitely on the low end for NYC.

Yeah, Bitter Waitress better get ready for a long lifetime full of abject disappointment if anything less than 17% is considered an insult. Particularly if the site's theme of snotty entitlement is actually displayed to the customers before they receive the check.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, me too. Who gets to make that call anyway?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The PATH was not as fun today. It has been "discovered."

Jaysus. If not for my lazy math, this makes we wonder if I've been undertipping in LA. What's a standard NY tip?
