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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Best blowtorch ever.
Weird.

Librarian Warlord
My office was 62 degrees this morning, as were some other parts of the library. It's been like this all week, and the building supervisor seems to be ignoring us. I'm guessing that he's already left for his winter vacation and he turned down the heat before leaving.
It's time for Slate's Explainer column to answer a question they ignored, so go vote: [link]
I actually like this question: Are all languages equally lip-readable?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap.
Craigslist is a strong possibility, but that involves me figuring out how to get photos from my camera into the infernal laptop device, which, it should be easy but I suspect it will involve a lot of hunting for lost cables and swearing, and right now I'm tempted to just drop it off at Goodwill and write it off my taxes
The upside of Craigslist is, you can make the other people deal with transportation. But I feel you on the effort. I still have an extra dresser in my not-that-big apartment, which is slowly filling back up again.

Punishingly Intricate
grr I have this big review thing at the govt agency who is our client today and had the hardest time finding out I was supposed to bring for it and someone just came in and was like do you have the blah blah blah? NO NOBODY TOLD ME I NEEDED THE BLAH BLAH BLAH!
And I probably don't actually need what she was talking about but now I'm all stressed out.
And a bunch of the internal tools I need are effed up and grrr.
Stupid having to work! I prefer last Wednesday -- lying on the beach, reading magazines, napping, drinking tropical drinks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm browsing vacation packages to Puerto Rico. Because there's really no better time to crave a beach vacation than right before having a baby and adjusting to being a one-income family, right?

Punishingly Intricate
Well, the craving is certainly understandable!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Fruit Sip is a berry fruit juice (the recipe calls for apple-cherry, but I use Berry Juicy Juice or a cran-something something) that you heat up on the stove with 3 sticks cinnamon, 1/2 cup raisons or dried cranberries or both, 1/4 - 1/2 cup dates, and 2-3 whole allspice (optional). heat on simmer for a while. drain out all the stuff. YUMMY GOODNESS that makes the house smell yum.
