Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Looking around my house, I think there might have been an earthquake after all. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

We must have a goddamn earthquake every day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, that's not quite as wrongheaded as I first thought, Consuela, but obviously a much huger hassle for you than it ought to be, in a just world.

I'm imagining everything that could fall off. It's....well, guess I'll go home and see.

The news is telling me that Boston felt the quake, but I certainly didn't!

Also, I mean, unless I'm missing something, it sounds very much like you will never actually be considered for this job.
Well, if they cancel & reannounce with "selective placement factors", which are specific requirements necessary for the position (beyond a degree or x years of experience), then they will be able to hire me. But it's going to be tricky defining them.

Frank, we were probably most likely to feel it because my actual office area is on a beam that bridges two buildings across a street. A coworker said, "Am I drunk?? Or did the building just move???" Hee.
Apparently other people in the buidling here felt it. Things are a little hectic in my area, so the building shaking probably just felt like par for the course for the last two days.

Ah, gotcha... that at least makes a little more sense than I thought at first!

One wooden thing fell off the shelf (and it does that when I walk by sometimes) and a couple picture frames fell over. Can't tell if the hanging frames are crooked, they may have started out that way. Off to pool.
