Walk away from the fic, Plei, just walk away.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've decided that if nobody hears from my nephew by this evening, then I'm calling Social Services and asking them to go check on my great-niece. I want someone on the ground making sure she's not sleeping in a car or worse.
Is it evil to hope that this is where it goes? That I can get that child taken away from them at least temporarily?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Actually, that sounds quite sensible, Cash.

“Not dead yet!”
Echoing beth here, Cash.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That sounds like the most sensible option to me, Cash.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Cash, in your shoes, that is what I'd do. You want what's best for her safety and health.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Excellent Plan, Cashmere.
My burning question of the day: How does someone get to be a senior patent litigation paralegal without knowing the difference between USPTO.gov and USPTO.com?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
USPTO.com is a private web site not affiliated with any governmental agency.

SEE!
Plus of course, we went through several rounds of "okay, go to USPTO.gov. Do you see the link for patents? No, okay, make sure you are on USPTO.gov. Do you see the link for patents? No, okay, are you on USPTO.gov?"

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I was a bad girl and used the company account to purchase personal items at a wholesale shop. No one would have found out except that I returned items, got a store credit, and they mailed said credit to work. Now boss wants to pay me the full amount (the items I purchased were a gift for his MIL), have me go to the shop and argue to have the store credit put in my name. Then he wants me to then use the store credit later to purchase whatever we might need for work, and I'll pay for it (or maybe I have that wrong, maybe it's then that the store credit is mine to spend on myself, and I have to also then buy something for work of equal value, which would mean that I now have twice the money tied up at the shop). Then he wants me to then fill out a reimbursement form and get paid back from work for the amount of the store credit. I'm so confused.
He seems to be implying that I've basically put money in Work's pocket, but the hoops he wants me to jump through seem to reflect more on paperwork. And it's so convoluted that I can't figure out if it actually makes sense. I was just going to use the store credit to buy myself flowers or something (since it was all my money to begin with).
I have no idea that if I successfully do all of these things, if I will come out ahead or behind or where I'm supposed to be.
Or maybe the hoop-jumping is my punishment for using work's account.
