[MrRoboto75]

I can't remember the last time a woman complimented me, much less asked me out.

[smjjames]

I'd probably run, lol..... Not sure I'd want to work for that kind of boss.

[Greiger]

It might snow tonight.

[Frumple]

It might snow tonight.

Oh, neat. That led me to check the forecast. Lows in the sub-30s F over the next few days. Hadn't really noticed, heh. Might actually have vague need to dig out one of the blankets I've been using to functionally widen my mattress~

@Pisskop

It's common advice not to date your colleagues, especially your boss. She may want to go out with you now, but imagine how things will change once the relationship ends. She might harbour some hard feelings and take them out on you. You might think she's a mature person who know's how to control her emotions, but you'd be surprised by the amount of grown adults who still act like children.

[smjjames]

Why do you need to widen your mattress? And yeah, it's nuts that this cold snap is happening with the polar vortex.

Gotta wonder why it happens more with North America than Asia, geography maybe....

That sounds kind of accidentially sexist, though I get what you're trying to say.

[Frumple]

That advice applies for women with male bosses, or whatever other combination you care to form, as much or more. It's pretty gender neutral advice outside the pronouns, heh.

Why do you need to widen your mattress?

I mean, I don't need to. I just have a substantial amount of bedding I don't really use over the warmer months, massively prefer to sleep with my bed up against a wall, and broadly speaking don't care enough to do much with the stuff besides use it as a foot prop or pillow, so excess bedding has been gradually wedging itself between the mattress and the wall, slowly pushing the mattress off the edge of the bed frame. Ergo, after a bit I've ended up with something somewhat larger than the twin the bed is built as, the wall-side corner made mostly of compacted blankets.

That said, I do tend to sleep with my laptop on the part of the bed I'm not on, so it's kinda' helpful for providing more arm space (and decreasing the likelihood of the laptop getting knocked off).

with my bed up against a well

Don't fall in!

[Frumple]

The only thing falling in a well is autocorrupt once I finish kicking it down one.

[Truean]

Furnaces suck

[smjjames]

Extremely poor attempt at a filter?

Also, I'd assume that the furnace supplies heat to everybody at the residence (whatever your living situation is), so, it'd be a middle finger to everybody else too.

At least they didn't put it on the exhaust....

I don't know if this makes me a bad person, but everytime I see the words do not quote, just in general, I'm always tempted to quote it out of rebellion

There's context for her why she does that :v
It's better to note why that happens instead of noting 'this may be happening' and then judging yourself on it. Because you didn't act on it but thought about it openly instead.

How does a heating unit look like, on that note? In us countries where there is no snow, it's either 'airconditioning' or 'natural climate cooling' in all my experiences.

It could be an older home or apartment. As for 'furnace', theres various types.

Wow, that is a pretty douchebaggy thing to do. Would have been much worse if the exhaust pipe was blocked instead.
