Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

It is a nice Starbucks. Ironically, I've had a job interview there before.

Pants are fine. Also, dude, you have to do interviews at Starbucks? That just shouldn't be allowed unless you're applying to Starbucks, man.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And I just had a call with another recruiter, whose accent was so thick I could barely understand him. I hate that. It always makes me feel like an idiot.

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 status is NOT quo.

Happy Birthday, Kat. May this year bring unexpected joys and new hope.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I hate that, too. I think it's why our accountant just walked over here to tell me something -- he's been here (in this job!) almost 30 years, but his accent is still super heavy. His english is perfect, just hard to hear.

ZOMG the CI spice cake (test recipe) is so good. I made it into cupcakes because I don't have cake pans, and I think I will have to eat all of them by myself before DH comes home from work.

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

I didn't make the spice cake! I had such a lame weekend. But I do have most of the ingredients...
