Also, I think this might be a Rochester accent thing, but I just hear, over the loudspeaker, to ignore the three warning tones for the Med Center antics. But the were saying Med Center Annex. Both pronounced ann-ix.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
eehhann-ix
I take it as a given that ann is pronounced "eehhann"! :)
ETA: For some reason the man on the loudspeaker most days has a fairly pronounced accent- you should hear him call a code team to the trauma bay! TRAAAHHHH-ma bay, I mean.
Happy Mardi Gras, y'all. Raise your hands if you'd rather be in New Orleans today.
Also, go get yourself some paczki.
I never saw Paczki in Rochester until a couple of years ago, but maybe I just didn't notice until we started talking about them here. I had one this weekend, but I unfortunately got the kind with white cream inside, and I don't really like white cream. The outtards were good, though.

We just had Memorial, Part 2, for my coworker who died over the weekend. So, you know, that's a way to start the day.
::raises hand:: Although I am looking forward to my plan of happy hour at the place with $1 oysters and chocolate-filled beignets.
Oof, Jesse. That is tough.
Shoot, I meant to throw a hat on as I went out the door because my hair definitely needs cutting and also sparkly fleur-de-lis, but I forgot. Oh well.
There are few places that I wouldn't rather be than in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. I like watching circuses from the nosebleed seats, not within the rings.
That said, I am braving the party crowd at the fine dining place down the street thanks to the chef posting this photo: [link]
meara, your situation reminds me of when a friend's sister confided in me about her affair with another (married) friend of mine, like she expected me to give her a cookie for her achievement. Ugh.
