4-digit numbers require commas?
If they're not years, yes.
I got carded today, and the woman was surprised ("You look really young!") without actually registering that I was 46.
Oh ho ho.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Out of curiosity, do any of you hold opinions on whether 4-digit numbers require commas?
For years, my reaction is "whatever the client wants."

In spreadsheets I default to "Accounting" format because I like my decimals to line up, and commas, but if I am just typing a number in an e-mail, or in a cell with other text, say, I'm not sure I need to be consistent.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ugh, snow. Of course the roads I take to work weren't plowed this morning. I should be thankful it only took 15 more minutes than usual to get to work, but bleah.

Well, we've got a windchill warning of -25 to -40F going until Thursday afternoon, so I need to swap my winter coat out for the one rated for -50F and pull out the long underwear. I think I'll bring my laptop home with me tonight just in case I choose to work from home tomorrow.

I just ebayed Casper an LL Bean down coat, because her thinsulate-lined fleece peacoat is not cutting it this week. I hope it comes ASAP. I feel like a bad mama; I should have done this 6 weeks ago. Meanwhile I luxuriate in my knee-length hooded down sleeping bag coat.

I am not looking to set people on fire right now, but the remainder of my week is looking ominous. I get my haircut in a little bit, and that will be nice, but then I have to do a bunch of work because i meet with one of senior salespeople tomorrow, and then have a department meeting, and then Thursday and Friday I meet with my biggest account. Which probably won't really require much from me, but I won't be able to do my regular work during all that so next week I'll be that much behind...

It's supposed to be 15 Thursday. I don't own any coats suitable for 15.
