NATOPOCALYPSE!

I suspect that the rest of this weekend and Monday won't be nearly as cool, but... today was kind of awesome, in a "This is what post-apocalypse Chicago would be like" kind of way

"Well, we sure look like the 99% today, don't we? I haven't worn jeans in years."

OH MY FUCKING GOD. They really are a different species, aren't they?

In any case, you are a much, much better woman than I. I nearly got into an altercation with a customer today because he claimed I didn't answer his "how are you?" before asking him the same question. (I fucking said, "I'm well, how are you", you douche, and I am not going to pretend otherwise!) It's a miracle no one has complained about me yet.

"I haven't worn jeans in years". Oh my God. Oh, you are so stealth, elevator man...

I just love the assumption that I was one of them, especially after noting on my way in that everyone on the streets was sort of uncomfortable and lost. Honestly, I felt like I was getting a few stares for missing the mark on the 99% disguise, assuming people downtown have had to price bike gear... (Realistically I was probably getting stares because I was grinning uncontrollably at all the people who were clearly uncomfortable in casual clothes, though, and because I was wearing tight shorts.) In any other situation, I would probably have reacted differently, but Chicago is a weird, weird place this weekend and many of us seem to have adopted a sort of camaraderie. I mean, I can't imagine that guy hasn't seen me in the elevator before... (Maybe I would've recognized him if he hadn't been so well-disguised... (-; )
