Depends on your stealth.
Whoo-hoo! When's the housewarming party?All of the documents have been signed, and the deed has recorded. We have officially purchased a house.
My work has recently decided to rework the pay scales to keep them competitive with industry standards while also giving some people who deserve it a raise. I got my offer letter in the mail today. They are giving me a $12000/yr raise. That was not a typo. TWELVE Thousand dollars more a year.
I am freaking out just a bit.

That's like 1000 per month!
doomweasels per month!
You know, if you'd have just used a comma in there, there'd be no need to clarify that it's not a typo. Like so:My work has recently decided to rework the pay scales to keep them competitive with industry standards while also giving some people who deserve it a raise. I got my offer letter in the mail today. They are giving me a $12000/yr raise. That was not a typo. TWELVE Thousand dollars more a year.

All that will do is mean you'll SEE your terrible rolls easily.
I still won't always see mine though.
We always have free coffee in the break room. Our company even includes it in the job listings as a perk...
Free coffee and me don't get along. You'd have to change my name to Shakey!
Is this so your coworker doesn't need to hit up Timmy's?
FTFY.
From the sound of it, they were heading for a sexual harassment or manslaughter lawsuit.
Nice.FTFY.

Once again, your fix for me was what I had originally considered.
So which one of you is gonna wear the silver catsuit?
Well, I'm already wearing an orange catsuit.
Awwww yeah! Just got notice that a short story of mine was accepted for publication. Heckeva way to start the day!
EDIT: The story, by the way, might be one you've read before. It's been published elsewhere as "Administrative Duty." I changed the title to the funnier and more appropriate "The Red Tape Invasion."

Varuna? Nice, I'm glad to hear it!A close friend of mine that had been battling ovarian cancer for a couple years was declared cancer-free yesterday
Aaaaaaaaannnnd we're back. Furniture is starting to go up in the new place, I was actually able to cook dinner tonight (Shepherd's Pie, very filling and warm), and when the cats come out tonight we can put the bed frame together! The best part is, since there are two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, we can leave the downstairs completely unoccupied until we have it the way we want it (or at least until we repaint the master bedroom and get a shorter bed frame, like a sleigh bed). Actually, the best part is that it's ours, and that we don't have to do another full-scale move for the foreseeable future. There is still several thousands of dollars worth of our stuff in Washington that we'll have to go get at the end of the month, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
