Today I learned that bus drivers around here encourage folks to wave their lit cell phone screen so they can spot 'em waiting at the bus stop in pre-dawn dark. And stop for them.
Reminds me of train signals.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I definitely want to go be an editor in Saudi Arabia, right?

Because books.
You DO, Dana, you do.

Because if there's one thing an editing job screams, it's Saudi Arabia!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Whoa. I just saw a job ad for doing pretty much the same job I'm currently doing, except at West Point, for nearly twice the salary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
West Point is so pretty in the fall, what with the scenery and the leaves turning and the put-together young people. I'm just saying.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, wow! Jump on it. Right? I mean, unless West Point is a no.
Work tried to kill me today, but I fought dirty and won.

Third day out sick. I feel like such a loser. IDEK if I'll make it in on Friday, but god damn, I'm gonna force myself through the Saturday rental, because I need that extra cash (which makes me feel like an ass, that I'll come into work/put my health and that of others at risk for what is not my career at the place of my career, but I am poor and these vitamins and medicines ain't cheap).

I definitely want you to move to a place where I have to be sponsored by a man to come visit you, right?
