Teppy, I'll be eating homemade paczkis today! Very exciting. My parents' friend makes them every year, and I hear they're insanely delicious.

Natter 69: Practically names itself.
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.
New development: The person who signed me up for the conservative emails is apparently Jacqueline [My Last Name]. I really thought it was all Jimmie! Dag.
I don't know if anyone here can help with this question, but here goes. I have a friend from uni, just starting out in her career, who's been offered a job in the Hong Kong office of a US law firm, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe (based in SF). I was wondering if any legalistas knew anything about this firm, especially as an employer. Does it look after its staff? How is it on work/life balance? Any help would be much appreciated.
Nilly sighting!
I neglected to feed myself again this morning. I must get some breakfast bars to just keep at work. I guess I should take a break and go get something.
Yes, thanks to sarameg and the other localistas who represented all the rest of us.
Lots of strength, hugs and love to Maria.
And to ChiKat - so sorry about Mickey.

Dang, homemade? I haven't had homemade paczki since my grandma died.
I did, however, bring a dozen paczki from a bakery to work, like I do every year. And then had to re-teach my co-workers how to say "paczki" and explain that it's a plural noun. Not sure why they would expect any less from an editor.
And I am so full of fatty, sugary (and gluten-y) goodness right now -- I ate a custard-filled one -- that I may just fall on the floor and start sleeping. Or possibly lapse into a sugar coma.
Well, of course it's plural - like you could eat just one.
I wish I had some. . . or some pancakes. . . . possibly pancakes for dinner tonight.
pancakes for dinner!!! Yes! I was lamenting what I would do for dinner tonight to keep the positive momentum up for family dinners.
I was too lazy to go out for breakfast, so I am eating mixed green and fruit salad I had brought to suppliment lunch. Salad for late breakfast, new one for me.
I am so sorry about Mickey, ChiKat.
I almost bought Paczki yesterday- I saw them at the grocery store and thought of Steph! I have never seen them in Rochester, and this is an inner city store, so I thought it was weird.
