Happy Birthday Beverly!
I have done battle with the evil copier/printer at my company's largely-abandoned physical office, and after an inconclusive physical struggle outwitted it by printing pages 2-up on one tabloid sheet at a time, thus lulling its phantom misfeed alarm into uneasy slumber! 2026 tax filings now saved and stored in hard copy form to ward off future audits.
I’m looking forward to not being constantly earwormed by a certain Kate Bush song, perhaps in a few months or so.
Ha, I feel lucky that that is one I didn't obsessively listen to over and over back in the day so while I am reminded of it all the time I don't get it stuck in my head. I never read the book so all the discourse just flows through me like fear past the Kwisatz Haderach. Only I remain.
Happy birthday BevDog!
Happy Birthday, Beverly!!!
Yes, happy Beverly day.
Finally feeling a bit better, though I thought that before, and food is still not quite appealing. We raised my mattress, maybe it will help.
Happy Birthday, Beverly! I hope there's much good fun for you in the coming year.
I hope you keep feeling better, erika.
I made sautéed shrimp over quinoa for lunch. That's two quinoas this week. I'm down to half a small bag and a boxed, pre-mixed thing with brown rice and some spices. Progress.
Going to make and direct-to-freezer some more red lentil soup. There are just a LOT of red lentils to get through.
Pantry progress is good, t! Mine usually just involves me going through the pantry and realizing most of it is expired and throwing it out.
I got a real haircut (as opposed to a great cuts “just chop an inch off and make it a vague bob”) last night. It ended up probably a full inch shorter than requested (the front pieces were supposed to be cheekbone length, but ended up more like eye length by the time she was done?) but I guess now I know. I think it’ll eventually grow out to be more what I want.
Bwahaha I have no internet. I’m physically in the office, and mgmt sent an email this morning saying they’d be doing something tomorrow (not today) which will knock out the wi-fi but most laptops are wired (ethernet, I guess?) so should only be an issue for, like, cell phones - especially, for some reason, if you are on Verizon.
So today, my laptop (which is plugged into a dock but says it’s on wifi) has no internet connection. Pretty much all my work is in the cloud. I’m typing this on my (Verizon) phone.
Hilariously, I can post here but I can’t get to Slack
