Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

In the inimitable words of Natter 24: WHO ARE YOU BAKING FOR???

Aw. The first thread I named.

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

legal consultant to a think tank. Work in my pjs, coffee just the way I like it for free, and deducting the shit out of everything.

Any downside?

Gotcha. Just trying to determine alternatives to firm life over here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a friend who's some lawyer thing (corporate counsel? Did I make that up?) at a media company, and she describes herself as never having practiced law.

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

Yeah, I think I'm about to bail. All three of my meetings this afternoon will have to be held with me prone. Or supine. Whichever. Erect ain't cutting it.

Plus I'm now convinced that my clothes, although breaking no corporate rule, are not business casual appropriate. The dress, a black jersey, is T-shirt style with a metal belt slung between waist and hips. Combined with low sandals, and even a great big orange glass ring and a black and silver bracelet, it feels too relaxed.

Pfah.

Clearly you have to send yourself home for dresscode violations.
