We are at an offsite today, or really more like a field trip- I'm playing Nicholas, getting food and research materials for the bosses and inbetween duties collapsing on a couch in the lobby in a paroxysm of snot and coughing. I feel fine, I am just leaking from my face.

We are not in the high-rise like last time, sadly. I miss the thirty-whatevereth floor but I'm just as glad to be on a low floor in the warm.

The admins here are nice and gave me tea.

Because I am a Vital Part Of All We Do and can't really just abandon my post for the day, we always get a temp for me when I'm going offsite. And because it's easier to get a temp for a full day than a few hours, I got to go directly home after the offsite today, which is nice.

Although on the other hand I got a note from my landlord that he was going to be fixing my window two days ago, so I've taken all the insulating tape off the leaky seams, and now it's REALLY COLD near the window so I might tape it up again. I don't mind having a taped-up window and I don't mind having a new window, but I'd like one or the other please. In the meantime I've turned the radiators up and put on my new slippers I got for Christmas, which are yellow and have plush microfiber insulation, mmm.

Cooking has been postponed, though since I only have one dish that I cook both enchiladas and macaroni in, and they bake at the same temp, I have devised the concept of Macaroni And Cheese Muffins, which basically involves baking the mac and cheese in muffin tins instead of a casserole. This will make it easier for me to take mac and cheese to work, too. Hooray for lateral cooking!

I know he didn't write the words, but he did create the show. That was my mantra in high school and it was always in his voice. Rest in peace, Number Six.
