You have to make your own rules, at least to a point. Some basics have to be honored, but you'll go crazy trying to follow everyone's rules.

I started writing to avoid following rules at day jobs. Now I have these to follow? Great. Just great. Thanks a lot, Laura.
ReplyDeleteYea, and I forgot to add the rule: no running in the halls. Richard, looking at you.
