Well the money can be used to secure the help.

And if you have the help, generally speaking, it either frees up lots of money or implies that you have a ton of it.

It helps that JG was super lovely to begin with! But agreed about regular clothes. She's at the WF on Wilshire too which is funny.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Best corporate self-eval ever. Since it is (I assume) not the exact words you used, is it OK if I post on facebook? I won't unless you say it is OK. Also assuming that if you give permission you won't want attribution by name, but happy to give you named credit if you prefer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This is quite possibly the best tool use by an animal ever: [link]

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

Feel free, TB, feel free.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I did almost an hour and a half of packing after I got home. I filled one huge duffel bag with clothes, and part of a big trash bag.

I still don't believe I will get it done, but progress, it was made.

Well, didn't slip until I got into my office building.

Our building custodian retired at the end of December and we don't have a regularly assigned custodian yet. Guess what that means?

Yes - nobody in the building this morning due to the snow, no doubt. The building doors are still locked, nobody is around to put up slippery floor signs and I swear that half the lights in the hallway are off.

Lovely.

Hee.

They actually have some sort of lottery or competition to divvy up open permanent custodial positions. And that's not happening for another week or two.

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

Breakfast FAIL.

Went through the drive-through at McDonnalds. They gave me my tea and my orange juice. Then I drove away. Didn't notice I didn't have my McMuffin and hashed browns until I got to work. Didn't feel like going back. Walked to a cafe and got a bagel with cream cheese.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Inspired by yesterday's discussion, since Ethiopian restaurants are the only place I've ever liked collards, I found an Ethiopian collard greens recipe that I'm going to try making. I don't have the time to make injera, but the same cookbook has a recipe for Ethiopian millet that looks fairly simple, and I found a lentil recipe that looks like it'll go with it.
