**jali** , can I come sleep on your floor when my business fails because I’ve done nothing but play this game? I’m not even very good at it, but I find it oddly relaxing. ---

All I have to say is that I hate you for introducing me to this game. And the entire office hates you to. Yes it was a very productive day at work today, why do you ask? ---
