Well, but isn't it short for "perquisite"?
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.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

I just need to say, I'm used to perq being spelled perk.
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!

Hec, see? Take that back RIGHT NOW, and apologize to the poor camel!
Seriously, it's just a sensitive tooth issue for me--cold beverages hurt my mouth.

I saw this in the comments on a parenting blog I sometimes read, and thought of you!
My boy is such a BOY, really into climbing, fighting, cars and taking things to pieces. But he has a little makeup bag from his godmother, and he likes to wear jewellery too (tiara)
Or, you know, thought of Certain Crack you introduced me to...
I have vanilla tea and a bag of good Turkish Delight from the Brit store. Life is swell, and my office now stocked for snacks.
