I'm in a public restroom today doing my dirty, dirty business, and a woman's voice keeps knocking on the door and poking her head in asking if anyone is in the restroom.
Uh, yep. I am, I announce.
Repeatedly.
But I don't hurry because that's just not good for you. And I also take a little longer than normal because I'm finishing issue #4 of Containment (a cool space zombie comic I got from Bridge City Comics in PDX).
I eventually get done, wash up, and head out the door where I see a grizzled, middle-age janitor lady squatting on the floor with her tools all around her like she's in some meth-addicted third-world nation. She's talking on her cell phone, and, as she looks me in the eye, I hear her say, "Yeah, he's *finally* done. I'll call you back."
I flash a big smile and throw her a dollar bill for her troubles.

All true.
Except for the buck.

HEY! I didn't even know you HAD a blog! YAY! OK, so way to excited, but I really am thrilled to find another blogger that I actually know. Weeee!
And yes, I'll send Lily over to work with the pack. She's really quite brilliant, you know.
