If you're by Aon Center it's at Lake and Stetson.
Nope. I'm at Studio City in Oak Park. And they just called lunch! Woo!
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, Teppy!

Congratulations, Steph!
ita, that sounds exhausting even without the chronic debilitating pain. I hope at least some of that gets resolved soon. (Ideally all of it.)

Congratulations, Steph!
ION, I am one with the Congress rage.

Because books.
I'm actually on a sound stage, tucked back in a dimmer room where I have no idea what is happening. It's very glamorous.
Hollywood!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yay, Steph! Definitely an early wedding present. Makes the honeymoon that much more happy to know you'll come back to a job (part-time).
The woman who called is the one I had a phone interview with in August, and she knew I was getting married soon, although I didn't expect her to commit the date to memory. She asked if it was a good time to talk, and I said "Well, tomorrow is the wedding, so we're taking care of last-minute chores, but I have a few minutes."
And she said, "Well, I hope I'm about to bring you more joy, then!"
Nice timing indeed. I almost didn't answer the phone because I didn't recognize the number and am SO TIRED of the phone ringing today. Glad I answered it (obviously)!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
EDITORS, READERS, BUFFISTAS, LEND ME YOUR EYES:
Walmart currently employ 2,200,000 full-time employees across the United States.
Is there any formation of company name that makes that okay? Any metaphor or company principle that unviolates the grammar? It seems to be consistent "1st person plural" throughout this document (which is not from Walmart, nor mentions 2.2m employees).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I believe that is the UK convention, and I'm betting that article is from The Economist, which rigorously sticks to that style.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, congrats! Great news, great timing!
