See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

nope, dont' take the risk. next thing you know, it will be 75 in your office, and when you complain they'll say "but you said we could"

Oh yeah, I'd never say anything, especially because I know that when we're freezing, other people are barely comfortable.

When the a/c goes off here, we get sent home. It's only happened a couple of times, once a brownout and once the line that powers the wings blew up or something. There was still power in the core of the building, but the ac was dead.

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

Dana, could you get kicked off in a good way?

Heating my office building is an exercise in no one being happy. It's huge, and very open--I've heard people say it's the size of a football field, two floors with the centre of the second floor open so you can throw things at the people below. There are offices fringing most of the outside walls, getting varying amounts of near-desert sun.

Unrelatedly, one of the funniest videos I've ever seen.

One place I worked, we used to get sent home if the generator ran out and the electricity went. And as they never remembered to buy oil, that was every couple of weeks. Yay!

We had this happen twice when a nearby water main has broke, but never with the a/c. Of course that's because we've never had the a/c go down (although it's needed serious re-adjustment several times, both up and down).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dana, could you get kicked off in a good way?

Maybe. I doubt she could prejudice my boss against me, so it's possible that I could just get moved to another project which wouldn't be staffed by crazy people. I'm just pissed that I couldn't make this work. On the other hand, it's not like I killed myself trying, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

WRT ita's link, I know there are people I THINK haven't aged much, but Richard Simmons has looked identical for, like 30 years. I mean, he doesn't even have a new outfit or haircut. It is very weird. Although, I kinda like him.

Dana, always remember that they are the crazy people, not you.

On the other other hand, she's batshit crazy if she's human, so don't go beating yourself up. Beat her up. Or just imagine it.

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

Oh. My. God.
