I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Unfortunately, emergency credentials and exceptions are just the sort of thing everyone's trying to crack down on. Also, every classroom was supposed to have a "highly qualified" teacher by the end of last year. Amusingly, I'm highly qualified in Massachusetts, just not in California yet.

I'm sure there's high enough need. It's just that trying to do things online, which I prefer, means running into the innate problems of automation -- even though technically as someone certified in another state I have up to a year after being hired to take a certain test, my application may not actually get looked at because they've set up the application to require those test scores. That sort of thing. Which means I need to make personal contact, but god I suck at that.

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

There are scattered t-storms all over Chicago. When I got off the train it was hot and humid as fuck. I walked two blocks and suddenly it was cool. A half a block more and it was hot again.

The evil is this way?

That's a pretty typical Chicago day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Emily, I'm sorry the hassles are mounting. Let me know if I can help with anything.

On a completely different note, I need to stop at Walgreens on the way home --do you need anything?

Don't think so. New brain? This one seems to be on the fritz.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, I understand the situation, now. Unfortunate that the automation isn't up to your complex case. I hope it's an easier and pleasanter process than it now seems.

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

I'm here, belly-belle.

What is even happening?

I'm so over summer. Scott said it was 101 on the big digital thermometer outside of a business, a few blocks from our house, at 5:30, this afternoon. Summer can talk to the hand.
