Omg, we’ve just had to put a huge sign up in our staff room about this. Stanks up the place for days!

I sit near a microwave and beer fridge [Fox news: I know, you don’t have to remind me] and a toaster. It would be nice, actually, if people didn’t microwave anything near me because all it does is make me hungry. Even after lunch. Shit, writing this is making me hungry. Damn it. But fish, curries, samosas, pasta, szechuan chicken, whatever…doesn’t smell for long but accelerates my metabolism.

Andrew: So the government stocks a beer fridge AND a magical fish-stank impervious microwave? Fascinating!
Lyndee: No, it sure isn’t.
Katie: I’m going to develop and host a PDF for just that purpose.

Our HVAC is a miracle. A cold, sterile, shiver-inducing miracle. Bad smells are whisked away. Heat is sucked from our bodies. Moisture is hoarded as if we were Fremen. The constant white noise drives me crazy.
We actually had beer in it at one point, left over from some shindig. It lasted for like 8 months before we just chucked it.
