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

if someone's unreachable by phone or e-mail, you can just corner them in person

It's a theory, if you all work in one location and you have the latitude to go find them. I don't always have that latitude.

Ugh, smonster. I hope you feel better.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, smonster. I hope you feel better.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Currently trying to find a ride, cannot deal with half-hour bus ride home.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Picture is from my scary ass training session last week - full day training for 60-some people none of whose first language is english. Oy.

God, how freakin' cute do you look in that picture?

Poor, smonster. No woman no cry. Or, you know, cry if it feels better.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

As for work attire, my last law firm had a cadre of about four young fashionista female attorneys and they dressed much like the woman who was fired. Nothing sleezy, but certainly form fitting and flattering. Nobody thought it was inappropriate and most of them were on partner track (or wound up making partner).

Is law traditionally more or less conservative than finance? My first gig, in finance, out in LA was at a firm that mandated pantyhose in SoCal, for instance. It might be a corporate culture thing.

But I still maintain that we may never get a good idea of how she was actually dressed.

Found ride. God bless my friend R.

Not even sad, really, just can't stop crying. Waiting for calls from PCP and pscyhiatrist.

Happy Birthday, Dana! I hope somebody wrote some delectable fic for you and it's sitting in your inbox right now.
