Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am treating myself to bad tv off the dvr -- the massive reality show thing Bravo had after the Battle of the Reality Stars. It's kind of tragic.

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

you don't "need" the socond job so flirting there is ok?

Yes, and it was a social thing long before it was a job thing. In fact, I still haven't collected a paycheck yet. I have some paperwork to fill out. This is a job where people show each other porn, and try and work out everyone's fetishes. Flirting? Doesn't blip the radar. And it's easy to make it clear I'm not flirting with intent.

Is there a policy against office dating at the day job?

Not at all. I just don't want to complicate things with high-(christ, what's the word ... stakes) with high stakes intrigue. Office life can be confusing enough.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And it's easy to make it clear I'm not flirting with intent.

Amazing how communicative an elbow to the head can be....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Olive Mountain? I had dinner with Teppy there during the first F2F.

Yeah, that's it.

Best. Hummus. EVAH.

Uh-huh.

people need to think beyond food for treats.

Last monday, when I went to Burke Williams, was treat myself day.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Uh I just saw this in my local convenience store. I think this is the most ill-advised beverage I've seen marketed widely:

Pepsi Holiday Spice

Ugh.

What is even happening?

I don't know. I kind of want to try it.

They had that Pepsi Holiday Spice out last year. It was pretty bland. I never did try using it as a ham glaze as suggested, though.

Maybe this year, they'll come out with it in diet.

Gronk. I'm treating myself to... hmm. I guess a cup of instant espresso, because I'm too tired to figure out how to adjust the burr grinder so that I can make a cup of actual coffee in the single press.
