They won't turn the heat on in the office. Frost forms on the steel surface of Matthew's leg iron. The glue holding up his printed-out MS Paint drawings cracks and crumbles, exposing the dingy felt wall of his cubicle. His breath fogs the computer screen. Matthew is faced with a dilemma: drink his coffee or huddle against it for warmth

The least they could do is line those leg irons with flannel or fleece or something.

My company not only offers flannel-lined leg irons, but they supply us with hot cocoa, which I find is easier to huddle against with my insides than coffee.

Cripes, can I get an interview?

Pennsylvania to Illinois would be a helluva commute. And I think we're probably only hiring CPAs right now. You could fake that, though, couldn't you?
