I have yummy mac and cheese with sharp cheddar in the oven right now, but now I want sushi :( With very little chance of getting any any time soon, as we are expecting another snow event tomorrow (10 inches or so. Let's hope that it's men measuring, so that it is actually only 6 inches ;)
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm wondering when school will be open again. So far, no word on tomorrow, but it's looking like the roads won't really be cleared enough for all the faculty and staff to get in from the suburbs.
I've got a phone interview tomorrow morning, and then after that, if school isn't officially open, I'm going to see if I can go get my notes and stuff from my office so that I can do some work at home.

The guy in the cube next to me has a mug that looks like a paper cup with a plastic lid. Freaked me out the first time I had to move it. Way too heavy. Now I kinda covet it.
Yeah, I had one of those and the night cleaners tossed it.

My interview tomorrow is for a job in Chicago. I'm not sure I can muster Chicago enthusiasm right now. I'm going so stir-crazy with this snow.

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

Oh, damn. You really notice the difference the moment you touch it. That's incredibly annoying.
His isn't on his desk. Now I'm paranoid that it's been tossed too. I'm showing untoward interest in his possessions.

Yeah, they probably didn't realize it until it was in the trash, and didn't want to fish it out.

I don't want the cleaners to throw away anything from my desk, although I can understand the temptation. There are bug traps under all our desks in the new digs. Whoever was here before us must have been pretty nasty.

I'd bought a friend a "disappearing rights" mug, which had the Bill of rights, but certain rights disappeared when you added hot liquid. Because of said magic, the mug had to be hand washed. the cleaners put the mug in the dishwasher and ruined it. They had to buy him a new one.

I got one of those paper-looking ceramic cups a few months ago. It would be perfect for work, but I haven't taken it in, partially because I'm worried about keeping it.

Scrappy, RIGHT ON!!!
Is there a space in between a number and a greater-than or less-than sign? For example, < 40-50%.
Our house style is no space. That doesn't mean it's Universally Right, though.
