The status is NOT quo.

Happy Birthday, msbelle!

Man, I miss having jeans Fridays. For people like me for whom every morning is a struggle to find something that fits/doesn't look like ass/isn't too dog haired or wrinkly, it made the whole week seem shorter and less stressful.
Oh, this is so me.

Ok, lisa, I'll work on one. Keep in mind, I'm slow working these days.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I doubt it's at all the same thing, but Au Bon Pain makes a really good chili corn bread loaf.

Oh yeah, that is teh yum! And it is probably horrible for you (I usually break it in half and save the other for the next day; that takes a bit of will power though).

I like to get it with their corn & green chili bisque, which is also probably terrible for you.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

We just got the caller ID building-wide with the new phones they gave us last month, and I'm loving it so far.

Speaking of company facility upgrades, they just announced that they finally bought the building we've been renting for decades on Peterson and Pulaski in the city. I don't work down there (I'm in the 'burbs at HQ), but my boss and several other people in my department work at least a few days a week there and have had many denigrating things to say about the condition of the building due to the sale being up in the air for so long. In the announcement we just received, one of the main things they mentioned was the improvements that are going to be made as soon as the purchase is finalized. I'm sure they got a good deal in this market, too.

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

Lisa is indeed awesome.

Kat is too, but mean for suggesting cream puffs.

When you know who the caller is, should you greet them by name, or just answer hello? And does this differ if it is a personal call rather than a business one?

We are fairly informal around here, so I usually say "Hi [first name]"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've been looking for a cool black one. Or argyle.

Why do you hurt me so? I thought you liked me.

I adore you. But I got a really cute white cotton blouse with almost-but-not-really tuxedo ruffles on it and a v-neck sewater vest would look awesome over it.

Tim Gunn would like it. STG he would.

And can I say how sad I am that on Proj Runway Kevin's gone ?

It completely discombobulates me when someone answers my incoming call with "Hi Sara." I have not announced myself! You are jumping in line!

(I don't have caller id. Well, I do on the cell. Which flusters me even more.)

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

Those are indeed French cuffs, Cash.

Me too! So shoulda been Ricky

Also, with you on the ruffley shirt and sweater vest (which I own in slate grey).

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, msbelle!

I answer my work phone with, "This is Fred." But I have a direct line and not the office's main line. Occasionally, if the caller ID shows a number that I know, I'll be more casual.
