Raise! This means I don't have to consider the job that would pay more but would involve 55-hour weeks plus two hours of commuting!
YAY!!!
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Was it from the Corddry story on Harry Belafonte?
No, that was priceless too, but nothing exactly quotable/taggable there.

You ended up with a Saab, right?
yes, which I lovelovelove. Unfortunatley, the more bells and whistles there are on a car, the more chance for things to go wrong. I've had some random shit happen, like the door sensor went whacko, so I couldn't turn off the interior lights because the care thought that the door was open, and the alarm kept going off.

Rock on, Dana!
Question: Cute Bookstore Guy is making me dinner tonight. Am I supposed to bring anything? I know a bottle of wine or something similar is what you usually bring to a dinner party, but I don't know if the rules are the same for a date. Help!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd bring wine or flowers or something but I'm kind of a date deflector.
Still--it's something nice you've done, right?
(also--go you!)
