Hey, Jesse! I gave a Lyft ride to a woman from WGBH who does fundraising for Masterpiece Theatre -- wasn't that in your part of the work world for a while?
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Absolutely! She was probably a major gifts officer. Did you ask her about Darlene Shiley?

I always assume Darlene Shiley is from here - one of the associated buildings of my mom's hospital is the Shiley Eye Center. Different Shiley, or does she get around?

I am absolutely not surprised about Keillor, he always seemed like White Privilege Smuggy McSmuggerson. Not a huge leap (for me) to Significant Lechery.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, my god, says person on Facebook! Where will this end? If 6 out of ten women have been harassed, will all of these men have to resign? The country can't handle 25% unemployment!
Yes, I think to myself, that's definitely the big problem right now. The potential looming unemployment of a mob of sexual harassers.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Not a shock, no.
Gah. I spent like an hour matching up receipts to this one company credit card statement only to see as I was winding it up that someone else marked it verified 10 minutes before (so, while I was working on it). What a friggin' waste of time.

I thought late-stage capitalism liked highish unemployment.

Most of these men are being fired when their careers are waning; Keillor was already semi-retired, for example. The men with actual power are still being protected.
