I used to drive 10 & 2, because I was a rules follower, and then I drove 8 & 4, because that was the new rule. However, now I drive with on arm draped over the top of the wheel at 12, because that's what's required to give the casual wave at the other rural drivers.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Apparently I got props at a meeting earlier today that I probably should attend but usually don't. Oops?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like pulling my elbows forward and down, because I like the stretch it gives me between my scapulas. Ten and two gives me an easy access to that feeling.
I also don't fiddle with much--I don't listen to the radio (uh, that reminds me, I did budget for the iPod adaptor for the car--I just haven't gotten around to getting it done. Driving in silence is disconcerting), so there's nothing much to be done with my right arm other than rest my elbow on the divider between the seats.
Uh, that's a thing on cars that it drives me nuts not to have--an arm rest for my right arm. With the current car, if both cup holders are being used, no arm rest. So! Driver gets a beverage, shotgun gets to die of thirst.

Yeah, there has to be an arm rest for the right arm. And a good one! The Pilot is adjusted a bit oddly for me, but I can make it work.
Man. It is such a gorgeous gorgeous day that the dog refuses to come inside. I need to get out there myself and enjoy the day. I need to weed and hang out laundry. I also have paperwork to do, but maybe I can do that sitting out on the deck?
Or I could say screw it all and read the ebook version of Hunger Games I just got for 87 cents? 87 cents!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay I get to go home now! And, uh, buy hair color on my way home, because it turns out I'm *that* kind of feminist.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Shrift, better than getting bad-mouthed at the meeting?
