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.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

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.

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.

That just made me wonder what kind of mug I could get that would amuse me that no one would steal, and google led me to this. I wonder how long it would take someone to ask the obvious question. But this is much more grownup.

My favorite mug was a gold and black ceramic Windsor Canada mug that neighbors bought as a souvenir for me when I was a kid. Carbonated drinks would fizz forever in that thing.
