Heat Wave and Partners

I was talking with a lebsian coworker this morning when a woman I don't really know but who I have seen around the office joined our conversation. She later mentioned she was going to a conference with her "partner." I assumed this meant she too was a lesbian, but then she added that his field was chemistry. One rarely hears straight women calling their boyfriends "partners." It seemed a little odd to me.

The heat wave continues, and my cupboards are bare. I'm resorting to eating long frozen Stouffers Cream Chipped Beef for dinner. I need a place with central air; my window-type unit is not quite cutting it.
