Good luck with the job prospect! Sadly, from what I have been told "everything hurts" is par for the course for narcotics withdrawal. For a while.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Better safe than sorry, ita! You've got enough medical issues going on that chest pains and shortness of breath could be for reals (not that they weren't, just that they had an identifiable and transitory cause this time).
Evidently once I get my Uber phone, I'm OK to turn it on and start taking passengers. It really does seem kind of sketchy to me, but hell, I can use the flexibility to earn some money.

Hope that works out, Theo.
Thanks for the salad validation, y'all. I happen to have all those ingredients but I just could not imagine the flavor combination. Nice to be able to outsource that sort of thing.

Ah-ha!!!! I've been reconciling a new contract with the pricing workbooks and have been off $1k for the last 3 hours. I've cross checked and recalced and recross checked. And I just found it in a place I SWORE I reviewed multiple times.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
There are many times I'm glad I don't have to deal with the public at work.(Along the same lines, I try to stay out of the malls around the holidays. Amazon wish lists are a godsend.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My Uber driver last night was called Jahlov. Which I teased him about, since he's American with Belizean parents. I had to find a 24 hour pharmacy (why doesn't CVS think putting 24 hours and pharmacy next to each other has an implication?). Anyway, we had to make stops, and he turned off his meter and waited with me both times. Jah love, indeed.
Hey, Theo--can you look up riders and see how many meowmeowbeenz we have? Or can we do that ourselves?

Shame it hurt during as well as after, huh?
I can't decide which I'd prefer working in showbiz--costuming (too many skills to acquire--can you just be the one that does the drawing?) or casting. Casting would be fabulous.

That does seem radically unfair, yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, ita. But good luck with the job!
I would also like -t's salad.
These both made me laugh:

Not sure how this made it through proofreading, peer review, and copyediting.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Well my experience in a peer reviewed journal after acceptance included:
1) Accusations of self-plagiarism. It took an exchange of about 20 emails, and copying in a senior editor to get the Jr editor making the accusation to read the article I was accused of self-plagiarizing and admit that the article submitted was not self-plageriarizing the already published article.
2) Page proofs sent to me for final review (on a Friday afternoon by the way with a Monday morning deadline) giving the wrong title for the journal I was to be published in.
This may be a hint of how errors can get through the peer review and copy editing process.
