My fingers are crossed for DC.
The QA application I need for screenshots and requirements gathering is down again. Fie on other teams.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Our wings are not tired.
Sumi, I hope your little guy shows up soon. A missing pet is one of the worst feelings in the world.

The site is still down. Now would be a great time to be, say, meeting, but who knows where New Guy is. If I'm posting between 10 and 10:30, he's not having his regularly scheduled meeting.
Hmm.

Is New Guy an employee or a contractor?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Last night I sent a request through the Tonight Show website for tickets, because, why not? I just got a call *this morning* from a real live person following up on that because their system doesn't work with gmail? Weird. But it does work with hotmail?

Contractor, like me.

Like, they can't send email to gmail? What's up with that? Having a system that can't work with gmail is shooting yourself in the foot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's bizarre.
I just listed my old dresser on craigslist, forgetting about the one piece that always falls off. So I'm trying to fix it, rather than edit the listing. Meh. (It's one of the pieces at the bottom, so once it's in place, it's fine.)

Since the guy's English wasn't great, I didn't ask what that meant. Very odd.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So. If you try to bake vegan cookies from a recipe, don't like the texture of the batter before baking and so add a bunch of flour and oil, then bake them and complain that they taste chalky and are too chewy, and write an article about how therefore vegan cookies are gross, you can get published in the Times! [link] (I very rarely actually stick to a recipe. But I wouldn't write a review of a cookbook based on my own modifications of the recipes.)
(Also, these are banana cookies. Of course the batter is going to be a weird consistency.)

Especially if it's a *baking* recipe and my complaint was about texture. I mean, DUH.
