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.

OK, my house is 66 downstairs. Cats are puffier. I guess I better call about getting my heat turned on, eh? (Going to use home warantee to do a check out, bleed and HOWTHEFUCKTHISWORK visit.)

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.

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

YAY for good first days! The internets missed you all too!

It's cold here too, and we are supposed to get a big storm tonight and tomorrow.

Icewine is crack. I'm not big on sweet in general, but I can polish off icewine like nobody's business.

Today's forecast didn't have home or work topping 70. Leather jacket and wool pants weather. Uh, all apologies to those with snow. It's just SoCal, you know. My weather widget says it's raining, but the window disagrees.
