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

Thank you. I think so, too.(I wish that meant there were a natural place to try and show it off, but I guess I'll keep my eyes open.)

Need help with a plot: Friends who are in different fields are out of a job at the same time...they want...well, maybe not payback--well, maybe one does(Isn't there always one?) What could they do?

Our wings are not tired.

Decades ago I routinely brought home stacks of reports from work to use the blank sides as scrap paper. Not secretly. Just randomly. They were up to all kinds of financial criminal stuff that I didn’t understand at the time. As they were crumbling they “promoted “ one of the cubical staff and had her fire the rest of us. Anyway, a couple months later I read they were indicted and I realized I had a bunch of evidence at home so I handed it over. Yes, they deserved it.

Ellery Queen might want one of my stories, if we can agree on an edit.

thanks...can't believe I've been messing with this particular tale for about ten years. TEN YEARS!(/Grosse Pointe Blank) I mean, I've done other things along the way, and at least it hasn't been Jossed because it showcases government as a council of wise elders or some shit--come to think of it, that would be more of a Sorkin thing. Anyway...
