Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One of my early lessons in class or something: Lice went around like crazy in the academic-class circles I traveled in as a kid, and almost not at all in the more working-class ones. So who knows what's up with lice? NOT ME, MAN.

Now I have to scratch my head.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I disbelieve in the power of Spanx.

love spanx tights! They hold up really well. I have had spanx fishnets that have lasted me years and years.

Dammit! I was just rewarding myself for sending off a draft of one thing, when my boss comes in to ask about the thing I keep forgetting about! I guess at least she didn't ask about the thing I'm avoiding on purpose?

Also, randomly, I'm wearing an argyle sweater (I don't usually wear patterns at all) with a push-up bra under it, so I am Very Conscious of my boobs today. Hello there!

It is backwards but I think that has always been the case.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do *not* have enough argyle, yo.

I have been powering through pretending to be my manager today. It's quite exciting. Not as scary as I'd thought, except for the panic this morning where I couldn't find my boss or legal and I was too scared to hit send on the email to the CIO asking her to help me out. Last time I asked her for help, I got dinged for going over my boss's head.

Didn't hurt that I had just sent her a meeting report that made her LOL. I dunno if she laughed out loud, but she definitely LOLed.
