Ye gods, your work situation does not sound at all pleasant right now. I am interested to hear more about how you like your running class. I've been thinking of taking that up after my move. I wish I could rec you something but I'm currently wading through book 10 of Steven Erikson's EPIC and having trouble remembering characters he hasn't mentioned since book 2. Also, I'm busty and blonde yet I'm neither stupid nor a whore, the universe is mysterious! I for one appreciate that you do not bust out in random R&B or spiritual numbers. :)
