Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Always Anti-fascist!

I think it means, ita, that you and she kinda "matched" in some way, as if you planned ahead or heard that all the women in the office were going to be wearing red tops and black pants today.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'd never heard the term "Bob's your uncle" before until one of my co-workers started using it. It was easy to suss what he meant, but it still sounds weird to me.

In morning annoyance news, the height adjustment on my beard trimmer decided to break this morning and drop to the lowest setting on the first pass. So not wanting to go for the reverse mohawk look with my goatee, I had to trim the rest to the same height, which is barely more than stubble. I was not amused.

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

I swear she was wearing a purple top and black pants. I'm in a black and white top and short red skirt. I can't pretend to understand.

So my cube-neighbour was offered an office. Not sure why, since there are four others of us at his level, and our level doesn't get offices. He didn't say he got a promotion when I asked him about it.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

that's weird and annoying, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sleeping with the boss, clearly.

It sounds like you and the coworker could have fit into the "catalog page" thing we used to do at my old job when we weren't matchy-matchy, but somehow coordinating. I think that was just us, though.

Paging brain bleach to the white courtesy phone...

Weirdos.

I could see she was going to talk to me about something (she's spoken to me once before about my LotR decorated desk), and I really thought it was the boots. I hate when people react to my clothes. That's exactly why I need Week of Dressing Dangerously--I'll currently wear anything, but I do need people to pretend I'm perfectly plainly garbed.

Possibly a little weird, but it happened a ridiculous amount -- we'd all be in the same color family, if not the same color.

At least twice I've showed up to an event dressed the same as my sister. At least once, I think we were wearing the same brands of shirt and pants too.

More often than not at my last job I'd show up dressed like the gay guy who had the office nearest my desk. This saddened my mother.

Oh, lord, my sister and I went through a period of a couple of months once when we were living in the same place, but didn't see each other before/while dressing, and came out practically the same every single day. There was a lot of sentence finishing, too. Weirdness.

I don't think my sister and I will ever dress like again. Those roads have diverged. I'm some sort of girly girl with a boot fetish, and she's adamantly casual.
