I am eating a salad. It's delicious, I'll admit. It has grape tomatoes, walnuts and chevre. But I'd still rather a burger.

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

WITH A CO-WORKER.
OMG, the yikes I'm having.
I do forgive, in that we-shall-never-speak-of-it way, the co-worker that trufax flirted with me Friday. Because he's been outstandingly patient with us, and ridiculously competent in this morning's meeting.
He's not on my team, but every little bit counts.

This is my kind of government official, Margaret Davison of NOAA, re: rising oceans on the East Coast
Somewhere between Maryland and Massachusetts, you've got some bodaciously expensive property at risk.
But then, I've always thought of NOAA as a bunch of hippies.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I've been hearing forecasts of thunderstorms today. Right now it's sunny and the sky is clear. We did have thunderstorms and heavy rain yesterday. Of course, thunderstorms are part of the summer weather routine here.

Hivemind question: has anyone tried stretching their shoes with the bags of water in the freezer trick? [link]
Yes, I could take the shoes to my insane-yet-wonderful cobbler, but I want to wear them, oh, this week. So I'm wondering if this trick would work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wait, it's cheap AND nice? What's wrong with it, then??I don't know if it's nice yet, and the location is only good for my current job, not for going out or shopping or anything else. And I won't work there forever!
Not to live in with a coworker, silly! Just discussed with a coworker.

ME TOO! More or less. I may have to have some kale later as a reward. (??)

Then you're crazy. Why would you have to leave if you quit?
eta: Oh, nut-shot guy's IO9 suspension wore off, and he's back and telling me no professionals would ever endorse overwhelming force like a crotch strike as a means of self defense.

What are the shoes made of, Jilly? I've stretched leather with Shoe Stretch and with rubbing alcohol. In both cases, you put on the liquid, then walk around in the shoes.

Odds are, the commute would be brutal to any other job. Of course, I could only look at jobs that would be convenient.
