I have to go up the whole ten floors at once, because we have split elevators, and the eleventh floor is the first floor on the top half. So you can only get to it from the ground floor and the floors above it by elevator. No gradual working up to that!
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Allyson, have you contacted detnews.com? They have a whole Autos section for news on auto industry, they have an auto blog, and they have a direct contact for GM news.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why is using "two" to mean "half" okay?
Cut it in two pieces.
Oh man, at the end of the work day I hit the worst introvert wall. I know it's partly because I'm tired, but I am currently scared about having more plans over the next few days. Here's hoping I go to bed early and feel better in the morning.

Because books.
I know how you feel, Jesse. I've been "hide inside" girl all day.
Anyone want to play cliche bingo? I'm writing copy for a Regency-set historical romance. Much intrigue, royals in love, secret heritage, blah blah. If the top headline were "All's Fair in Love and War," what would you put for the second one?
It needs to be about the same number of beats, and something about great passion, or scandal, or ... I don't even know.
I may be too tired for this today.

I also just saw on Twitter than Steve Jobs is resigning as CEO of Apple.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So tomorrow's a good day to buy Apple stock as everyone panics?

I need to hide inside! But I can't.

If I'm understanding you correctly, there is one elevator that services only floors 1-10 and then one that services 11 and up. In that case, go as many floors up as you can, take the one elevator down to the ground and then the other elevator up to the floor you need. A little time consuming, but if you're doing it only in the morning you can accommodate it by coming in a little earlier.

Apparently you were in middle school the last time Jobs left.
(Apple went in the crapper and lost direction etc.)

Yeah, I was thinking that panic might be justified.
