Then you're crazy. Why would you have to leave if you quit?
Odds are, the commute would be brutal to any other job. Of course, I could only look at jobs that would be convenient.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

What are the shoes made of, Jilly? I've stretched leather with Shoe Stretch and with rubbing alcohol. In both cases, you put on the liquid, then walk around in the shoes.
They're made from leather. Rubbing alcohol? Really? One of the sites for shoe stretching suggested a solution of half rubbing alcohol, half water. I suppose that would be the simplest thing to do, since I've got that at home. How damp do I need to make the leather?
ETA: These are the shoes. Stripey heels!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, nut-shot guy's IO9 suspension wore off, and he's back and telling me no professionals would ever endorse overwhelming force like a crotch strike as a means of self defense.
Stay golden, nutshot boy. Stay golden.

Oh, I also have a confession: The vet left me a voicemail saying my cat's bloodwork results were all good, and actually his bloodwork was "phenomenal" for his age. So of course, I turned to the cat and said, "Phenomenal kitten, that's you."

Jilly, you should probably test an inconspicuous place, but I've not had a problem. I just put rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and then dampened the outside of the shoe with it. If the shoe hasn't stretched enough by the time it dries, do it again. The origin is lost in the mists of time, but I think a shoe guy told me that worked the same as Shoe Stretch.

Heh. You know there's a song called "Phenomenal Cat" by the Kinks, right?

Of course I don't. That might have been more appropriate than the Maya take-off.

Gott Damm, these banana bread muffins smell good.

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