Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I reserve the right to make fun of folks in the northeast who bitch about snow or run to the grocery to stock up on toilet paper, bread and milk at the announcment of a storm.

Oh god, hell yeah.

Likely stolen by those sneaky, small, and very relaxed Calgon gnomes.

Step one: steal the Calgon! Step three: profit!

So it turns out that the people talking about the memos are actually the people I deal with on a regular basis, and I like them a lot. But I do wonder why they couldn't just... tell us.

At this point, I'm thinking maybe they just want a field trip. One of them just announced that she got another job and will only be here another couple of weeks anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

AND I HAVE TO EAT FROM THE CAF TODAY.

Not because of the rain, so you can't laugh at me for it.

What is even happening?

I'm laughing at you right now. AIFG.

Ann, that's a ferret.

But as a midwesterner who grew up in the snowbelt, I reserve the right to make fun of folks in the northeast who bitch about snow or run to the grocery to stock up on toilet paper, bread and milk at the announcment of a storm.

Me, too. And having lived in the South for many years, I also reserve the right to make fun of people in the North who complain when the temp reaches 90 in the summer.

I tried that, was told people were dying of it, and so let it go.

On the other hand, all your first world problems? Freaking hysterical. hard to breathe, in between the laughs.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

At this point, I'm thinking maybe they just want a field trip.

That was my thought. Field day in Boston on the company dime.

I think I am irked by this in Rick's post:

The weather itself is pretty modest by the standards of most of the country

The rainfall for this Friday alone was 4.55 inches. Not modest by most standards.

well, you see, it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

Hm. how about, "everyone else does it, so why shouldn't I join in the fun?"

Something something about uphill, both ways.

I also reserve the right to make fun of people in the North who complain when the temp reaches 90 in the summer.

But...but...that's hot. We get a lot of humidity there too.
