Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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

Why has New Guy not been fired yet?

Too far into the project to get a new project manager.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I heard about the "Who Dat?" issue yesterday from some family. That's the most tone deaf thing I can imagine.

The version in Hil's song is the one that we chant. Though it's hilarious to listen to my cousin's son do it, because he asks it as if it is a question.

He's also the one who asked after one of our regular season losses (TB I think) "Is everyone sad because they lost the ball?" Kara:"Yes. They lost the ball." Beau:"Can I get them a new one?"

Though it says something that you know the reason he's not gone. How long is the project?

I missed one. I thought we'd lost more service members in Iraq this past year than in Afganistan.

I missed the Supreme Court question. Is Ruth Bader Ginsberg still sitting on the court?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is Ruth Bader Ginsberg still sitting on the court?

Yep.

I got all 12, I've been paying too much attention to politics.

6 more months? Ugh. Do y'all have a coordinator who could take over as PM?
