CoWorker (who sits in cubicle in front of me): Hey Crimson, when does the book get published?
Crimson: Huh?
CorWorker: Sounds like you’re typing a book back there.
Crimson (chuckles): Actually I am writing about the weather. (sends via email to CoWorker)
Dear Diary,
Another Monday at work. But at least it is a four day week and it isn’t too busy because a lot of people are on vacation this week. It looks like we will get no snow this week and maybe a little bit of rain with above freezing temperatures. Yay! Usually this time of year it is about –8 degrees Celsius and right now it is +8. Woohoo! I am sure we will get slammed in January and February though with snow storms and ice but I will enjoy the nicer weather while it lasts.

Dear Diary,
I got into another drunken stupor last night and only recall flashes of having group sex with a trapeze artist and some circus midgets. Oh well, at least the weather’s nice ?
Signed,
Desperately seeking sobriety
