If I could just rework the candy industry to take out half the sugar, I'd be a happy puppy.
One of the cool, lamentedly lost things about the store Yum was their collection of "adult" sodas, which were delicious and purposefully not sweet.
They were intended mostly for bartenders who wanted to have a less sugary but complex variety of cola and tonic.
I am having oatmeal for the first time. It is not as bad as I thought it would be. That's probably the maple and brown sugar talking.

Waah. SQL guy just asked me when I want to go through his scripts. Avoidance can only go so far. Maybe I can get it to go past lunch...
Meanwhile it means I should fish or cut bait on my current SQL syntax expedition, I suppose.
Ask him some really technical question to throw him off his guard.

Oracle 10g. He wrote some queries on data that I know really well from a business POV, so I know what the results should look like. His look wrong, and don't match the app or the simple queries I run. I'll be damned, though, if I can tell where in his nested SELECTs he's gone awry. I just watch the guy flip around Toad and I blanch. I'm still stumbling around that app. I haven't used it in years, and it far exceeds my needs or abilities.
They have the good tea on my floor now! No more stealing from the bigwigs! This is, of course, just as they run out of the good hot chocolate, but good tea is more important to me. Let us not speak of the Krispy Kreme that showed up today.

Is this your regular babysitter, or the new black guy? Do race issues come up a lot in your adoption? I wonder what it's like when everything is so different. I never identified well with black America, but I've been a fish out of water my whole life, and not one seeking wetness. Mac's experience and needs are very different. I know a lot of African people who see black Americans as practically white, but to a kid visual like is like.

like Mac. He's not East African. Black and Spanish, he told me, with some disappointment. He just found out about the Spanish part, and wasn't excited. My non-African roots are very simple. Scot to about the last ribosome. Such is Jamaica.
