Be Careful What You Wish for. . . —Cagle

NO BENEFITS JOB: Meandering around the floors of McCormick Place South during Graph Expo in October, I happened upon a woman (pictured above) who caught my eye. She was striking, quite unlike any I’d ever seen. I’m sorry to say, but her shape caught my eye...she looked like a blue Hershey’s kiss.

I had to talk to her, even though she was clearly working. But, as we chatted, I noticed people sneering at my new friend, named Kathleen. I paid them no mind, as I found her utterly fascinating.
