I believe that is the UK convention, and I'm betting that article is from The Economist, which rigorously sticks to that style.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

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

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congratulations, Steph! Great timing for the good news.
And ita, I don't even know what to say. Sounds overwhelming at the very least. You've had a rotten month. I like Amy's suggestion of running away, but I'm not sure there's enough porn to set things right.

Because books.
I'm not sure there's enough porn to set things right.
Well, what kind of attitude is that?! (Kidding.)
Also, this apartment is small and crowded and not really a place to run away to. To escape from, yes, but probably better not the other way around.
Work exhausted me today. And now I have work to do this weekend! Blech.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, Steph!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My last meeting with the now ex boss has terrified me, so not really looking forward to the weekend.
I have lost all sense of proportion.
I would love to escape to anywhere, except everywhere requires effort. I need a certificate for a handmaiden who I only communicate with through text messages who does everything for me. Then I will take a week off.
Not that I can take a week off, but you know.
But, anyway, kvetch moan whine. Thanks, for everything.

My sister in working through the weekend, Amy. sigh. Where's the porn, I ask?

Yay Steph!
The monster project that I thought we were free and clear from yesterday came back like a bad penny today. Oh well, at least the clients REALLY wanted to hire us to work on it?

Oh no, ita. I'm so sorry that work has become such a mess.

I need a certificate for a handmaiden who I only communicate with through text messages who does everything for me.
It's like a magical dreamworld that I never even contemplated.
I really hope it comes true for you. But more than that I wish it weren't so needed.
