Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Things will be better after I get to move into my permanent office in a couple of weeks
Why do I never get an office? I do have a nice large cubicle with a window, but I always seem to work for places that dole out offices more rarely than diamonds. And I don't get diamonds either.
I checked the intranet for the office dress policy, and it says there isn't one and to ask my manager. And then I get introduced to another one of his reports and she's wearing a kinda torn denim jacket and jeans. I don't think I'd ever feel that comfortable as a contractor. Probably not denim jacket comfortable as an employee. But I think it does mean hose isn't mandatory, so that's good.

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

Quite a bit, but I don't know how available it is. Don't listen to bon, ice wine is gross.
Congratulations on celebrating Canadian thanksgiving!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just turned on our heat, here in Sunny! Southern! California! Just to keep the place 70 degrees whilst it is dank and overcast outside.

YMMV on the virtues of ice wine-- it is delicious but very sweet -- but it is a true fact that it is what the Canadian wine industry is known for internationally. Yum.
