Willow ,'Empty Places'
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.
I have a fan for the first time in a long time- which is very nice, because it is very nice.
However, I keep getting this fabric softener smell! It is so weird, but is driving me crazy!
Um, what kind of fan do you have? I am picturing a person who wants your autograph who loves to do laundry.
A box fan! I have no air conditioning.
I like your idea better, le nub. That way maybe someone would do my laundry for me.
msbelle - so happy new job is a better fit!
JZ - so awesome and VERY well deserved.
I keep wondering if I could get a fat raise if I looked outside my company, but for now, what I'm getting from them cannot be measured in just $'s. I'm putting in as much time as I can and making sure deadlines are met, but that is all between Percoset induced naps and doctors appointments. So far no one has fussed at my joke of a schedule.
Yay, JZ!!
OMG, I am soooo glad to be back online. My apartment's power went out at 7:55 on Monday morning due to a horrific storm, and then the office power went out at 4:15 that afternoon (we think it was a transformer blow-out, not storm-related). My apartment power just came back on 40 minutes ago. I'll be spending a little time tomorrow morning cleaning out my fridge and freezer of just about everything except for my frozen veggies and my fruit.
As for the office power, that was still out today, so I had the day off of work (I'm the only one in the department without a laptop, so I couldn't go to the downtown office since I had nothing to work on). I don't know if the power will be up there tomorrow--a co-worker said she'd call me if it's still out at 5:30 a.m., when she's supposed to go to work (she and her twin sister work from 6:45 to 3:00, and it takes them an hour to commute).
Congrats, JZ! Fingers crossed for you!
It is hot. I m sweaty, the fan air brought in to my apartment smells like dryer sheets. And my kitty wants to cuddle. She is warm and furry and perfect for winter. Not so much now.
Woo to the hoo, JZ!
Fingers crossed that it all works out without any hitches, JZ!!!
Kathy, that's awful. Similarly, I hear my friends in DC complaining about Pepco all the time (it's apparently the most hated company in America right now?), and I'm so glad I left before things went so bad there, and that we don't tend to have big storms here in Seattle! I mean, I need to get rid of some stuff in the freezer, but not like that!
(Also, anyone have suggestions for what I should do with unopened frozen food I no longer want? Some is old and needs to be trashed, but I have no idea why I have like, eight chicken pot pies...)

Because they're delicious?

sarameg, it's great that you're helping out your friends like that. Best of luck with the fundraiser.
Congrats, JZ!

Chicken pot pie party! I associate frozen chicken pot pie with childhood comfort food, so I'd invite seven friends over for pie and dvds of the A-Team or MacGyver.
