Chicago's nickname of "The Windy City" actually was given by a New York columnist back in the late-1880s/early 1890s who was sick and tired of hearing Chicago boosters talking up the city while campaigning to get the 1892 World's Fair.
Heh. I did not know that.

Oh, hey Allyson! I gave a coworker your book. It ties into some stuff we're working on. I sent her the Amazon link and loaned it to her. We may need to get copies for the whole team.
I love my cube, but it's a big one, with high walls, and I've got a window cube (I miss my old view looking straight across the Longfellow - aka Salt and Pepper - Bridge, but my current one of Government Center and the harbor isn't bad).

Your whole team is going to be living with ita?
What are you working on? That's so neat!
The Mitzvah Mobile is outside of our office, playing Purim songs!
That's extremely cool.
I want your workplace, DJ!
I do love it there. There's a generous out of office policy and work from home policy. We can have a beer or glass of wine near the end of the day. Hours are basically, "You know what you're supposed to do, get here at a reasonable hour to do that and leave when you're done." And my coworkers are awesome. One plays ridiculously vulgar songs for us, one I really look up to as a tough professional who totally doesn't come off as a bitch or feel like she needs to, they're all really funny and personable. I can bring little Oz if I want to, and it all deals with the internets, so we're kind of encouraged to explore.
I'll email you, Allyson.
