whoa. I'm getting a crazy under the table bonus from one of the partners for doing an annoying task. I will have to work on it at home tonight but...the bonus is very generous. Hope I really can finish it!
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Aisle seat success!

I just got a bonus for some classes I taught (not under the table) and I was amused to see that to get the contract in on time (so I would get paid when they promised) they - that is, the people in the Dean's office of the LAW SCHOOL - forged my signature.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew.
Yay money!
Also, how do we feel that Will gave Kate Diana's ring?

I have mixed feelings about the ring. Part of me thinks it's sweet, but a part of me thinks that Kate shouldn't have to be saddled with any of the Diana baggage.

Because books.
What Sparky said.
Bonuses and aisle seats are good. Rain is not. I want a nap.

Could be she loves the hell out of that ring.
Me I'd be angling to wear that tiara.

Yeah, that's pretty much the consensus here as well.

It's weird how well I remember getting up early with a friend to watch the wedding, and then watching the coverage of Diana's death that weekend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm assuming he's not forcing it on her, or if he is, it's her job to suck it up and take it, as upcoming queen of Britain, it's the least of what she'll have to do for her title.
