My sister and I went out to a bar just after midnight on her 21st birthday. At one bar the bouncer said she was underage and that he was going to confiscate her drivers license. I had to explain that since it was after midnight it had now become the "next day" so she was therefore legal.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm pretty sure I've traveled with a paper temp license, because I have a vague memory of being amazed that it worked, but I don't know when that was, could've been last century.

Grrr. Have just been sent into a towering rage, only partly an overreaction, right as I have to dial in to an important conference call.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There are a lot of towering rages at my work these days. Deadlines and holidays looming? I try to stay out of it, mostly, but I do like to be cc-ed on some of the blood sports.
Working from home would be better for me for so many reasons right now. But I went in to both locations this morning, and will be back at my desk this afternoon.
Uh, sometime. But I am logged into my work computer! Migraine-related depression is paying off for my employer.

Our wings are not tired
No towering rages here, just giant slinky dogs.

What happens if you push a giant slinky dog down the stairs?

Well, you need some really big stairs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In college, I used to use a friend's license to get in to bars...except it turned out some of the bouncers knew her. Oops.
I have avoided towering rages by not going in to work today. So far, so good.

I went to McGill. I know not of these shenanigans of which you speak.

The drinking age is 18? I still would have had a semester of trouble.
