Got a call from my friendly neighborhood engineer yesterday at about 5:00 PM, asking if I could show up for a meeting on a joint project out at the airport. At 7:00 AM this morning. For a project that has been on hold since last fall...

Further thoughts on PC language -- I can have my character substitute "pickaninny" for "nigger" in that first exchange, dragging in the added baggage of dismissing the object as a child -- there's a jealousy component as well.

Don't know if that's less offensive, though.
