I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hivemind proofreading question.
Our proofreading department has decided that it's okay to say "U.S. figures", or "U.S. companies", but that if you are saying "in the U.S., X and Y will happen", you need to spell out United States, instead of using the initials, even in a document summarizing another report.
Does this make sense to people?

If my addiction were just the caffeine I could switch to coffee with little problem. But I love the acid bite of diet Coke, even though I know what it's doing to the calcium in my bones. Damn the man.

Yeah, I liked the bite too, but the effect was a little more immediate than bones. I do plain seltzer with a little lemon juice, which gives me some bite, but leaves my stomach alone. (Very little lemon juice.)

Maybe they have a different rule for U.S. as an adjective than as a proper noun?

That's what it looks like, but I haven't heard that rule before.

I started this morning sprinting, uh, literally. For the goddamn train and still was late. And had meetings and more meetings interspersed with frantic periods of work, ending with me getting into a slap fight with malware. I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow afternoon, so I guess we'll see if I have a cold or if I'll get antibiotics tomorrow.
I haven't eaten much today, and I'm starving. So I should get up and make a fajita or something.

Shrift, I am in the chicago area, eating a fajita salad. I may have stolen your evening. But I'm just stopping through o'hare, so I'll be gone and let you resume, soon!
