Fuck. I was making dinner, and heating up some tomato sauce in the microwave in a little glass bowl. As I was taking it out, I dropped it, and it shattered. So now my floor has a big splatter of tomato sauce, with both big pieces and shards of glass in it. How the hell am I supposed to clean this up? If I had a mop, I'd use that, then wait for the floor to dry, then sweep, but I only have a Swiffer and a broom. Any suggestions? If I were just sauce, I'd wipe it up, and if it were just glass, I'd sweep it, but I can't figure out how to clean up the combination.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ack, Hil. I'd use a shitload of damp paper towels.
"That was my Nicorette, bitch. Now I'm really going to have to hurt you."
Don't even joke.
Huh. So is it the color that makes them dragees and not nonpareils?

Hil, pick up the big pieces of glass and throw them out. Them very carefully use a wet rag, sponge, or big wad of papertowels to sop up the sauce and push the rest of the broken glass onto a dustpan. Just have a lot of protection between you and the glass and don't push too hard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does that mean kaju katli is illegal here too, Betsy? It is the toxicity of the silver that caused the sissy fit, right?
Hil, this'd be the time I'd sacrifice one or more of my numerous hand towels. It might wash out, I guess.

OK, thanks. I'll try that. My towels are dark red, anyway, and really need to be washed as it is.

OK, I've got it reasonably well cleaned up, I think. I ended up throwing away the washcloth I used, since I realized I didn't feel like dealing with the glass that was probably stuck in it. Now I just need to figure out what to have for dinner, since that spaghetti was kind of my last resort "I need to go grocery shopping" dinner.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Today was my first day back at work.
... I don't want to be here. Not least because my coworkers are fleeing in droves, and the ones who are left seem very grumpy.
Sigh.
