Too bad Amy still needs the job.
There is that. Maybe later though?
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

4 years ago was the first night I spent in my house. Coming home from the Y tonight, I introduced myself to the new neighbor 2 houses down and helped him maneuver a HUGE table-sized box into the house. They're doing the big move-in this weekend. I recognized the glazed/stunned look in his eyes. He introduced himself twice in 10 minutes, heh.

Well, when Amy's found a new job I probably could pass along a tip with information that just magically fell into my lap to our team that works with law enforcement.

conseula, the downside for Portland would obviously be having to move. The upside is that home sales in CA are taking roughly 2.5 months because inventory is so low, so if you had to sell your place, it would probably go fast.
Also, other upsides to Portland: McMenamans, Voodoo Donuts, and Le Bistro Montage for cajun food.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am exhausted and my head hurts, and I am about to abuse the lidoderm patches--I don't know about 12 hours off--I don't want the headache to build up too much before this weekend, just because of that nightmare-ridden night. FUCK SLEEP.

Does anyone check the cars around them when they drive? To see what models they are? I have been having the most Impalicious week! Not classic--all recent models, but still...a three Impala commute is pretty impressive, because the standard is only on the road for maybe 25 minutes.
Also gain points if I see a Charger--a day with a black Impala and a black Charger is a full house. If I ever saw a 67 Impala, I'd get out of the car and run around. I did see one a few years off, and there was staring.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
There is a white Impala running around town...that is actually a cop car! I was all, "Heyyy...." and then he cut me off and pulled someone over and I was all, "Totally not checking out your car. Swears. Good on you for pulling over that guy, he was totally speeding. Ima just pass over here, clearly slowing down and observing all safety guidelines."

And Powell's. I love that city.
Does anyone check the cars around them when they drive? To see what models they are?
Absolutely.
I am sorry your job is filled with such terrible people, Amy.

Does anyone check the cars around them when they drive? To see what models they are?
Oh, yes. I like seeing the predominant species in different areas. There's a high concentration of Hondas and Toyotas where I live, and a noticible number of Mini Coopers. When I visit my sister in MI, Fords and Chevys predominate (unsurprisingly).
Amy, I hope you're in a position to leave our job soon.

I am sure I've mentioned this here, but my mother once sat on a jury for a child sex abuse case.that was supposed to last 6 weeks but ended up lasting 9 months. It was brutal. When I went for my fitness and character interview for the bar, my interviewer turned out to be one of the attorneys in that case.
Trudy, strength to your family. erika, so sorry for your loss.
