So is it true? Never heard that, but let's not marry a guy named Ted.

Dav.id, the thought of SP "popping her head out of the oven" to do a brief postcard, well I don't know what, but maybe mail art could have saved her.

Ever the transcripter of the true narrative!

How do you know I'm not a famous writer? I could be Philip Roth or Mickey Spillane letting off some steam or gathering wool for my next busterblock. I could be Sylvia Plath popping my head out of the oven for a brief postcard. Btw, did you know that Ted Hughes second wife also committed suicide in the same fashion? After that, he got a hot plate.

Secret Life of a Court Reporter....By day, she fused with her machine to produce perfect transcripts, by night her mind wandered in a dreamscape peppered with allusions, subterfuge, sustainments and overrulings. One day after ingesting several cups of coffee from a strange coffee shop she'd never visited before the two worlds crossed over and suddenly the dry transcripts turned into surreal playlets of the absurd. She subsequently lost her job but made it big in Hollywood where her bios never failed to mention her humble beginnings as a court reporter.

You read my mind--that was the very next thought after hitting "Add Comment."

that's what i was thinking Nancy, but maybe BECAUSE KDJ can't express her full ebullient personality at work is why we get to enjoy it so much here.

Many jobs require one to act/feel machine-like, so you're not alone, though court reporters especially look literally attached to their machines, so that's another level of machine-like. Too bad you can't speak up more--they don't know what they're missing, but we do.

KDJ, maybe Dav.id would like to hear more about your work as a court reporter. I know I would. They used to be only petrified props, in movies and on tv. But we always knew there had to be much more to the story ...
