Hee. Damn air molecule. You can never tell when that sucker's coming back, either.
Yeah, I think I just breathed it. It might have participated in a chemical reaction with a hydrocarbon by now....

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What kind of air molecule was it?

You know how there was a series of articles on the crazy catering that's done in the med/pharma industry? My brother could avoid buying any food, ever, and not starve. Quite the opposite, in fact. Hell, he brings the leftovers home and the whole family eats it. (And it's good food! Not crappy generic catering stuff, high-class restaurant stuff.)
Of course, right now he's having to forgo it as he's in a study where they provide all the food for something ridiculous like 3 months and pay him $450. My brother, the guinea pig. Tthat isn't a weird diet or anything, at least. But he still grabs catered stuff for wife and kid.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
At my old work, we had various snacky foods, soda, juice, tea, coffee available.
Here, we have the Coffee Saint and the Diet Coke Fairy. Occasionally, we have the Snack Gypsy. But he doesn't come around all that often.

Crap! My brain fog has caused me to bite down on my temporary filling and break it! I don't want to go to the dentist again!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The phrase "e pluribus unum" originally comes from a recipe for salad dressing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Damn, JZ. I'll give you the company car if I could just have the water cooler with the dual spouts! No more microwaving water for tea. Oh, the very thought is sheer bliss.

My major perq at work is all the library books I can check out, with basically no fines ever.
There is occasionally free leftover food.
In Wrong news, a major donor is a Pepsi executive, so there is no Coke machine in the building, and no Coke served at any events in the building.

a water cooler in the department main office that does both cold and hot water!!!!!!
Filtered water, cold, lukewarm (why?), and hot, that's right, the trifecta. Plus, ice machine. Soda, flavored water, and fruit juice. There are no beverage complaints. There's not enough free T-shirts though, and where are the free jeans? I actually have to buy my own clothing.
