A lot happens, emotionally - polarity-wise going from “bosom of family”
briefly thru “pleasant walk in the rain” to “unsettling ever-deepening
encounter with a demigod of Neoliberalism”

Almost no named peripheral characters like you sometimes get. Except those
mentioned in convo I guess, who are actual public figures.

Exceptions: Stonechat & Marvin.


Time frame:

Sat nite g&d

Sunday - I suspect she chilled all day, making …

*Monday* the “Next day, evening rush hour, it’s just starting to rain…”
because the descriptions pertain better to a weekday.

Monday night with the wiener dream*

Tuesday - Marvin

Wednesday - gets the thumb drive back


* Personally I don’t think this indicates more than that Windust accosted
her ungently in a way that stays on her mind. There’s no way she could be
said to enjoy any part of it.

So where’s the sexism? perhaps, the idea of writing from a female
perspective in the first place -

 “Not that it is done well, but that it is done at all?”
