I am about to go to a meeting that will go like this.
We have things set like X.
Here's why.
It looks bad in cases of "factor", butin good in cases of "other factor".
you all decide what to do.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The 90 minute commute actually works as good low stress wake-up time before work for me. Would that my car ran on water instead of liquid goldgasoline.
I've discovered that waking up with a migraine is not advisable when there will be workers hammering on your back wall all day long. I think the knowledge that the police and ambulance sirens would be even louder is the only thing preventing me from knocking their scaffold over.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

For me, it would be rage-inducing "I could have been ASLEEP" time.

I loathe my 60 minute commute that is mostly on train. It's too long, losing 2 hours each day sucks. And it is too crowded for too long. Into work I maybe get a seat for half of it. Going home I usually start with a seat, but after a train switch I usually am standing for the last 20-30 minutes.

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

I would be asleep, probably. In London I got really good at partial sleeping. Never missed a bus or a tube stop.

I'm going to take a stance and say it's never good. I took a survey.
Friday night I messed up my shoes looking for exactly the right pair of black high-heeled sandals to go with my outfit. Extra frustrating since I have the perfect pair, but the heel's been broken...well, since LA prom. So I am lame. It's sad to see I have at least 6 pairs of the high-heeled black sandal variety. Sadder yet because they're all over my floor. I'm not sure when I became that girl.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The girl with the shoes or the one who doesn't put them away.
My ex used to mess with me by putting my shoes in the closet every so often. I always just assumed shoes lived by the door. At least the pairs in heavy rotation. I would walk around looking like a lost puppy and eventually he'd stop laughing and point me towards the closet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't actually mind my 45-60 minute commute most days.
And my shoes are all over the floor of my bedroom, except for the ones I should really get rid of, which are in the closet.

There's a big difference between a commute on public transportation and a commute in a car ("idiot, get out of my way, why are you doing TWENTY on the FREEWAY, get off your phone, no, really, it's fine, I don't mind slamming on my brakes so you don't kill me, oh, good, now it's raining.").

Yeah, absolutely. A car commute would kill me. At least everyone's standing still for much of the train ride.

Jesse, get rid of the shoes you should.
Ideally my commute would be 30 minutes and I could leave early enough to get a seat each way. I actually did not liking walking to work for the year and a half that I did it. No reading and I had to be too engaged what with the watching where I was going and stuff.
