They were met with nostalgic welcome, suspicion, and envy.
Ahhhh... excellent. Just the reaction one would hope for.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Or maybe you got my Tuesday.
No, no, Tuesday was far worse. Tuesday was a full-out flustercuck HULK SMASH kind of day. I was at work until after 9.
Today is more of a normal 'other people screw up and it's my fault because I'm not psychic' day. Except for the part where my boss is on vacation and we just had a massive email migration. That isn't helping.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Except for the part where my boss is on vacation
Your boss is on vacation AND your coworker is on vacation? No, wait, he's back today, isn't he?
My work people are driving me insane. Like, I want to shake them and make them speak comprehensible English.
Someone several cubes over has dismantled a FedEx box and taped it over his A/C vent. I sympathize, because it's fucking freezing in here, but isn't that just going to force more air out of other vents like mine?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, should I have a turkey sandwich or a beef patty for lunch?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's no question, Jesse. Curry goat or beef patty -- that's a question.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A beef patty all by itself?

All of my options are deli-based, so no curry goat. The thing that's weird is that yesterday I was dying for the patty but was good and ate my from-home lunch instead, and now I think I might be feeling a turkey sandwich more, but that makes no sense.

Jamaican beef patty, tommyrot -- it's meat in pastry. And then bread.

You have NO IDEA how many times I've been about to propose that.

turkey sandwich on toast sounds yum. Today should be a BK day, but I brought lunch, so I am not sure.
