I did one of those escape the room things with my coworkers last month. As team building things go it was pretty fun. Way better than a ropes course. Ours was 90s themed, and we had to use clues in various 90s things (video tapes, concert stubs for Chumbawumba, etc.) to crack the code.

Puzzles definitely sound more fun than handcuffs to me. Ymmv, obviously. Thanks for the report, shrift! And Calli!
I hear escape the room and think of the first one of those I heard about, which had s zombie in chains in the corner who would eventually escape, giving an element of time pressure to the escape, and that sounds like too much stress to be fun.
Not that I likely have one of these in my near future, but you never know.

I am at the shuttle stop early because this thing isn't leaving without me this time. Not when I got up at 4:30 to make my 7am meeting.

YIKES.
I wore a jacket today because it is November, not because I needed it. I understand this weather is objectively beautiful, but I don't care for it!

That certainly seems like it ought to be early enough.
I turned on the heater in my bathroom this morning.

Just had a nice bitch session with a coworker. Sometimes that is what you need! Because this place is crazy. Oh well.

I can't really hit the snooze button because I'll miss the only shuttle that theoretically will get me to the office on time if I dawdle.
I also get to go through my performance review today.

It's still ridiculously warm here (64 right now, high of 72). I LOVE IT.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, it's 62 here now, with a high of 70. It seems weird that it's so warm and the sun sets so early. But it's gonna cool off after today.

Same here, but it will still be this warm tomorrow.
