I think I might have asked this before, but I am listening to the radio, and they are playing MONY MONY. And it was banned from our school dances because it was dirty. But it was the only song banned, and it doesn't seem that dirty to me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
it's not the song itself, it is the chant that people do with it. nothing online seems to have any idea where the chant started, but pervasive from the early 80s on. hey! What? Get laid! get fucked! or Hey Motherfucker! get laid! get fucked!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There was a weird club (where Colin was employed to dance on tables--remarkable sometimes what I forget) which had a really PC (in that way that defeats the actual point of political correctness) rule where the staff chanted "Hey motherfucker! Get laid get AIDS!" over anything that the patrons might have been yelling.
Yeah, good looking out, guys.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Power co now says we'll have power back maybe by Tuesday, def by Thurs night. I'll just be over here naked on the couch.
How much effort am I supposed to go to, to be able to work? I mean, am I right that spending 8 hours in a Starbucks is too much to expect of me?

Oh- I kind of remember that. I really only went to dances when clubs I was in were sponsoring them, and I had to sell tickets/man the door etc.

Punishingly Intricate
Our power just came back on! I'm still just cautiously optimistic though because a friend had her power come on just to have it go off again an hour later. So, we'll see...
Zenkitty, you should just do what you feel up to doing! Do you just have one option for working at home away from home? Bob was plotting what he was going to do if our power hadn't come on by tomorrow morning. I think it would involve friend's house plus maybe a couple different coffee shops. Hoping he really can just be working here in his office!

My family in Columbus are supposed to have no power for another week! And she's 7 months pregnant.
The camp where we just dropped Casper had no power from 5pm Friday until noon today, and then it just cut out again while we were there...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My options are hotel, cafe, sister's house. I would rather be in a hotel, but, expensive plus as of today all booked up! Plus I kinda don't want to pay and then my powr comes back, y'know? Sister has power but I'm not 100 percent comfortable there (cranky niece lives there, not sister). Ill prob do cafe for a couple hours. Then I can feel like I tried.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Kinko's used to be set up so you could work there all day if you needed to, with a desk and wifi and whatnot. I forget the details of how it worked or if you had to pay anything or what, it's a long time ago that that info was useful to me (back when it was Kinko's and not FedEx, for one thing). If there's a FedEx store near you that has power, that might give you another viable option.
Or you could take the day off, I would fully support that.
