Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There are certain aftershaves that make me think of Stringer...I want to sniff him and see if I was right. Maybe he'd believe it's a Southwest American custom?

Erika, that made me laugh really hard.

I am still on my adrenaline rush from last night. Or, more properly, getting back to the office re-started it. So I finally got everything I needed "for COB" by 5:30, worked my magic, hit send at 5:50... and then saw that the next bus was arriving in three minutes. So I ran out, without waiting to make sure the email went through, dashed home, pilled the cat, packed a bag, ran back out again, and made it to my parents' at 6:45. Made dinner for me and my dad, watched a little tv, went to bed early because I could not deal. Did everything in reverse this morning, and of course as soon as I left last night, other people found a couple of minor errors. I think it's all fine, but dag.

Here is what makes me want to stab somebody: I fixed SO MANY errors in the stuff people gave me last night! But not all of them, so that's what is noticed. I would love to be able to reply, "Sure, I missed that one thing, but you gave me the key person's name spelled wrong! AND his bio was a year out of date!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, but that's what happens when you rush jobs. Also, you can stab them in your mind.

Maybe just with a sharp pencil in the ribs.

Right, I mean, obviously this is what happens when you don't have time for a second review of anything.

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

does your place start with S-P-E?

No, no it doesn't. But now I'm extra paranoid that one day they're going to tell us "Dress properly! Outsider alert!" and I'll go up to the cool floor and bon will be there looking all official and professional.

I have no idea why you're in the same field as me, but from a (yet another) different angle.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Our wings are not tired.

So many twelves today. It's out of control!

I'm looking at the tracking for a FedEx package that was shipped to me from Long Island. It went from Ronkonkoma to Newark, and then on a plane to Memphis, back to Newark, and then finally to Brooklyn for delivery.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
