Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

The elevators in my building are the old-fashioned kind with the metal gate on the inside that you have to slide open and closed. They don't talk. But it'd be good if they did...

Dude. Close my gate when you leave. You want someone else on a different floor to be able to use me, right?

...and you'd better not steal my lightbulb!

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

Mmmhmm. Speakerphone person started listening to her messages and then picked up the handset when it was (assuming here) her husband. So if you get that some messages aren't for everyone, can't you think about why any of your messages should be for anyone?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Also, why do the three litigation paralegals find it necessary to congregrate outside of my office to discuss wedding plans and family gossip and unplanned pregnancy? They all have their own offices.

This is when you get up from your desk, join the group and start giving them unwanted advice. When they start to move away, follow them for a few steps -- they'll move away that much faster.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I had what I thought of as a "mid-afternoon" meeting, it was nicely productive, got back to my desk to screw around for what's left of the day, and... I have to be here for two more hours?? WTF.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Jesse, don't you get summer fridays or something crazy like that at your job?

Not til the end of June!!

They totally screw us on the definition of summer -- it doesn't start here until the solstice, but then it ends on Labor Day.

CHEATERS!!!

Of course the idea that one gets any extra time off for any given season...well, let's just say that Jesse's diamond flip flops may be chafing a bit, and I'm just not going to weep for her.

But that would require getting up and talking to them.
