Sounds like the thinking is that he might get 8-10 years.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
When I was meeting with clients, I tried to dress like a professional because they were paying me and I wanted to show respect for that. When I met with the public (as a consultant), I tried not to dress too much better than anyone else in the room because it would make it look like my client was wasting their money.
When I taught middle school I used to dress up as a way of sort of honoring my students. Like they deserved the respect of someone choosing to be professional with them. I have gotten increasingly schlubby and am the worst dressed teacher on my wing (the other was a former lawyer who was all Talbots and the other other is a size 2 tiny who has no children and a lot of disposable income). Now I tend to costume dress depending on how I feel.
My mother has this issue with doing teacher training -- a suit is too much, but she does want to be dressed up to some degree.
HA! Especially because teachers can be super schlubby! When I do professional development, I always wear a skirt, heels, tights or hose and a nice top. Sometimes a jacket.
So, our principal is leaving and we are getting a new one. I'm choosing to optimistically view this as change is good.

I posted this in Premium Cable, but there's a new 11-minute promo for Torchwood out!
SO excited! It looks fun as hell.
I wonder if I can persuade my husband that Starz is a perfectly cromulent addition to our cable package...

When I heard that Barrowman was going full frontal in the new TW series, I gave *serious* thought to actually getting cable.
