If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Since we're all mathy and shit, here's a story problem for you:

Person A has a father. Today is Person A's father's birthday. Person A is told that she cannot take the day off to take Dad-of-A to the baseball game.

If Person A arrives at work as dictated this morning, is informed that she's being laid off as of next Friday, and decides, "I can't sit around here crying all day, so fuck it, I'm going to the ball game", what then are the chances that the person parked next to Person A in the stadium parking lot will be Person A's (soon to be former) boss?

Any guesses?

For the record, the answer is: One hundred percent, if you're my drama magnet of a sister. That girl, I swear.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Any guesses?

Something close to 1.

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

100%, because Captain Irony is in charge of this here ship.

No WAY. That's hilarious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, man. That's kind of great, in a fucked-up way. Not the laid off part, of course. That part sucks. But I have an irrational love of "What are you going to do, FIRE ME??"

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

bon, some kravvers carry Ogio locker bags. I'm not sure why, since a gym bag that fits in a locker doesn't fit all the gear we need. I think it's mostly instructors who don't get all hands on during teaching.

Still a little big...I need something that carries well, since I walk on a crowded street for about 8 blocks to the gym. And then something collapsible so it can get stuffed into the locker. I just can't believe that Lucy, say, is not on this; and that the items that appear to be recommended by what comes up on google are no longer for sale. What happened to the Timbuk2 yoga bag, for example?!

Charles Barkley is an ass.

I've heard terrible things about him but I still find him so charismatic.

Totally. At least she's laughing now.
