I think NYC went through a thing in the last year or so about completely eliminating an elected position also. Public Advocate maybe?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So after embarrassing themselves by nominating and electing a sleazebag in the lt. governor primary, the proposal now on the table is to just scrap the whole Lt. Gov position entirely. Oh Illinois, never change.
Wait - you mean that wasn't intentional? Has Illinois politics changed so much?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think that's right. It's kind of the same position -- a [city/state]wide #2 without actual power.
I was all happy having bacon for breakfast, and then I ate soap! Grr.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Why did you eat soap, Jesse?

By accident! It was not in the plan! It must have gotten stuck under my nail.

ita, I hope you slept.
I've lost all concept of calendar time. I mean, really.
Dressed (not showered) and fortifying myself with instant oatmeal. Gonna have to go out shortly and start digging towards the street. People are already out, shoveling off their roofs. So BRIAN has a ladder to reach his roof. Good to know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No. no sleep. Grr.

Oh no, ita. You don't need that.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
oh, ita. I'm so sorry. That truly sucks. A lot.
sarameg, I love reading about your neighbors and the snowstorm and the wine and the shovelling and the bonding. But mostly, I love the palpable happy in your voice.
I overslept this morning and got to school late. I got here 2 minutes before 1st period started. At least it was BEFORE it started.
