My view is that the purpose of winter is to enhance the enjoyment of dark ales. In this it succeeds admirably. Thus making it not so bad.
I therefore bestow upon winter the coveted grade of "Meets Expectations".

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Today=much better than yesterday, at least so far. I was late to work, but I was told not to rush since I was one of two people who came in yesterday. Nat. boss called my boss to tell her I was awesome for putting together a thing for our conference (this works well for both boss and I since boss has been going to bat for me, so now Nat. boss has a clear idea of who I am and what I do, and boss doesn't look like she's just talking out of her ass). We have a christmas party in about an hour. I get off early today. And this morning there was an email from the director of the Katrina project laying out a solid plan to help my lady from yesterday.
I took Hec's book with me to the bar last night where it was coveted by Mr. Jane's coworkers and a music critic from our weekly rag. I will show it off to our musically inclined friends tonight- so Hec, be prepared for sales to shoot up by at least 8.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Heh -- spoken like a Brit.

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

So true.

I'll keep an eye out. I got absolutely no mail yesterday, which was kind of weird.

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

Maybe they're all dead. Maybe the apocalypse has happened.
Finally! People at work have started replying to my emails. Slackers.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I must stop wearing sweaters on weekdays. It is too damn hot on the subway AND in my office. I can just suffer a little bit of cold and wear one less layer.
I wear a wrap under my (TWO!) coat(s) for my outside commute on office days.
This winter and last winter's are a little more bitter than previous ones. Looks like SF is a good bet for me. I like winter, I'll miss it, but I think a change will do me good.

Always Anti-fascist!
I feel just as trapped inside by our summers except that nothing actually blocks the roads.
