I'm thinking about signing up for yoga this summer. I want to get my flexibility back, and with the weight coming off, I think I'll be able to keep up. They offer the first class for free, so I think I'll stop by and see how I like it.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

ARGH. TINO.
(This email chain has been going around in circles for a WEEK. I finally get a response back and FUCKING TINO* is complimenting himself on "tracking down" some information that was IN MY ORIGINAL GODDAMN EMAIL.)
*Not his real name.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'd take every dance lesson I could and dance at least 2 hours a day. Or do acrobatics. Or martial arts. Or all three (hey, if I'm independently wealthy, why not?). And I'd do something like Intersection For The Arts: [link] but more skewed towards theatre/performing arts. I'd probably actually work harder than what I am (trying to) now, but it would be for something I believed in.

Because books.
Typo, have some more no cancer~ma. And send your doctor back to Bedside Manner 101.
If I was independently wealthy, we'd have a house, for one. I'd keep writing, because I love to do that, but I would also create something like a writing camp/arts program for underprivileged kids, and scholarships.

ARGH. TINO
TINO!!
My TINO is going to be my boss when I'm re-hired (or when the re-organization is complete). I don't know how I'm going to bear it: every conversation I have with him, I have to fight to justify doing the work I was hired to do. I keep telling people I don't think this is a good fit, and they keep ignoring the question.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Typo, have some more no cancer~ma.
If I didn't say it before. Really really a lot of no cancer~ma.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope you mean six figures...
Typing and rushing man, typing and rushing.

I think there are fewer criminals and less crime in a more equal society.
You did make it sound a bit like if people wouldn't go around being so rich, they wouldn't have to worry about being kidnapped. That's hardly what's at fault.
I think I'm going to have BBQ. And then go be stinky at at home, and work through these crazy use cases.

Hah! I assumed she meant three figures, as in "why would you keep a third job when it pays you crap"?
If I had lots of money, I feel like I would have no excuse NOT to get in shape! I mean, I'm already paying a personal trainer for some sessions, so why not dance and learn a martial art, and work out (and probably hire someone to cook me delicious-yet-healthy meals!). And then I would fit into all the amazing clothes I could afford. :)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Perception of wealth is a crazy thing. We just had to deal with it here in Wisconsin where a state representative (Sean Duffy, R) was talking to a laid off truck driver and explained that he, too, found it tough to make it on his congressional salary ($174,000). The constituent nearly popped his cork.
