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.

Because books.

Hmmm. No. But maybe something like a Mary Jane.

Zappo's is being overly helpful.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

an agent in Cameroon pulled a tampon out of my bag and manhandled it for a while before smelling it and then asking me what it was. A male colleague had to explain, in French, and it was bad for all involved)."

That happened to my mom many, many moons ago when she traveled to Europe after college. I believe they inspected her bags when she arrived in France, but my memory is a bit fuzzy.

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

You don't wear ballet flats, do you, Amy? Otherwise I'd totally suggest those.

Man, should I volunteer to go across the way and buy lunch for my co-worker who's stuck on a call, even though I don't want lunch from there myself? Am I that nice? I don't remember.

I would volunteer to get a co-worker lunch from the place I was going to anyway, but I don't think I'd make a separate lunch run. Which I guess means *I'm* not that nice?

You are that nice.

I can't wear ballet flats unless they're officially a wide width. My feet are SQUARE, seriously.

What about these Doc Mary Jane's with a heel? [link]

Or a wedge loafer? [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's okay if you choose to be that nice today. You won't be held to it.

Ooh, the Doc Mary Jane's are cute! And cheap.

Well, he disappeared from his desk, so I think that question just mooted itself. However, I think I will tell him I thought about it. That's pretty much the relationship we have.

I learnt today that phlebotomists at the UCLA hospitals can't draw blood using the portacath because they'd need to flush them with heparin at the end, and phlebotomists can only take stuff out, not put stuff in. So the poor lady (who shrieks with laughter every time I come in the door, and has a special ita ! kit put aside for me) still has to wrestle with my vascular system.

Mary Janes and ballet flats are my favourite shoes. Oh, and cowboy boots. I can't get enough of any of those styles. In fact, I'm not sure how I've coped this long with just one pair of cowboy boots.
