Well that sucks, msbelle. I hope things get more reasonable at work soon.
In further kale news, mine is currently baking in a lasagna. I did not massage it first, but I did blanch it. We'll see how neglected it feels in about half an hour.
I also finished an onerous task. There's a set of blinds across a big window in my living room that require support in the middle. I was able to replace the blinds and leave up the hardware months ago, but the slots where the supports go were in a slightly different place, so they didn't catch quite right. The blinds kept slipping out and sagging (at least they never fell), and I kept shoving them back instead of fixing it, because fixing involved moving the ginormous cat condo, measuring things, unscrewing, placing, and rescrewing hardware (some of which had fallen off and landed behind the bookcase). It was this whole thing. But it's this whole thing that I finally dealt with today. So now I can open and close the blinds without wondering if this is the time they'll slip off and fall out of their end supports completely. I totally deserve lasagna.
