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

Cool, Jessica!

I certainly hope the show's not a bait and switch. It's some people that had filmed at the centre previously, and are looking to get clips from two days of training.

Who knows?

Alright--back from job interview (and fingerprinting, although I have no offer) and I need to sleep and/or watch Heroes.

from Jessica's link, this is the best euphemism ever.

Xing calls his bodyguard firm a "business etiquette" company.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

ita, the bodyguard training sounds cool! Especially the counter surveillance and defensive driving!

Mayor Richard M. Daley will present the Chicago native with a plaque proclaiming Tuesday "Jennifer Hudson Day."

Yeah, big crowd in front of the theatre and streets closed off. I was just walking along the east side of the Chicago Theatre trying to get to work and a cop stepped in front of me with his arms spread out saying, "There are VIPs ahead. You need to walk on the other side of the street."

Our wings are not tired.

but this story about female bodyguards in China was on NPR this morning

I was in the car listening and totally thought of ita.

Also, ita, watch Heroes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have a new person on the "Allyson's 48 bosses" list, who is a know-it-all annoyance who just wrote me up for not having enough room under my desk to hide in case of earthquake. I'm 4'10". I have assloads of room for me, my computer...shit, I could work under my desk comfortably.

I smell war.

That's just...wow, Allyson, you really do work with jerks!

"There are VIPs ahead. You need to walk on the other side of the street."

This statement is making me laugh and laugh. Maybe I'm just having flashbacks to the time James Marsters came to Dragon*Con, and how his bodyguards nearly flattened me. I didn't even notice he was in the lobby. I just wanted to use the elevator.

who is a know-it-all annoyance who just wrote me up for not having enough room under my desk to hide in case of earthquake.

So he has nothing better to do? Things were a bit slow so he decided, hey, why don't I just be a jerk instead of just sitting here?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WTF does that even mean, Allyson?
