I just need to say, I'm used to perq being spelled perk. I didn't know there was an alternate version.
Well, but isn't it short for "perquisite"?
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like water often lukewarm too. Or hot. Or cold. Depends on the mood.
Don't like lukewarm soda, though. I need the sharp cold fizz to distract me from how syrupy they all are.
I could do with some root myself. But I'll pass on the husband.

Until I get to the OED (in about a second) I wasn't even aware that was a word. So, I wouldn't have made even that connection.

I usually see it spelled as perk, although technically it is short for perquisite, thus 'perq'.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Poeple use perk all the time, but it's short for perquisite, so the q is actually more accurate.

When the SO & I worked at Major Airplane Firm, he had a company cafeteria near his part of the compound that was pretty good. But the compound was so big that it was more difficult for me to go to the cafeteria from my part of the compound than it was for me to just leave and run by Schlotsky's or something.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ooh! That'd work. I was gonna call a friend who's daughter is in GS, but she lives in San Diego, so not that nearby actually.
Awesome! Email me what you'd like!
