Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

Thank you, Connie.

Sick people need help. Doctors try giving things to help them. I go to doctors places and make sure they do the plan right and have all the right papers. I look at papers that say what the doctor did and how the sick person feels. Then I send that to my job where they find out if it helps the sick people.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, I actually tried the ten-hundred word thing with my job description, and "drug," "medicine," "medication," "pill," and all their plurals are not in their. I would have thought at least "drug" or "pill" would be. So:

When people are sick, sometimes the doctor tells them to take things to make them feel better. Some people write about those things that make sick people feel better. I look at what they write and make sure everyone can understand it.

(Although I suppose I could abbreviate it to: People write things. I look at what they write and make sure everyone can understand it.) (Or: I move words.)

Just type your stuff into the text box, and edit until you don't have errors.

Ah. Good tip.

I just searched the list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I only want to use top ten-hundred words now.

I'm watching a show where US police catch really bad guys who kill many people in a line.

I mean, you spend so much time building your number of words, but why?

Meara:

Layoffs at my workplace begin this morning, and will keep happening through the week. No one from the school had any input into who would be let go - all decisions were made from the Provost's office, based on job descriptions. This is not going to go well.

I feel your pain. Oh, how I feel your pain.

It is like walking into a cold storage unit when you walk into the bank.

Maybe they want to make sure that they have cold cash? (what?)
