Clearly, I would not be getting my hair cut by Nick. But! I'd probably be getting it cut by someone who is being trained by someone who was trained by Nick! For twenty bucks!

Well, sure. But in my dream world, he could cut my hair however he wanted.

And that's still really cool!

For twenty bucks!

And that may just be the very bestest part!

my email was not working earlier and now the only problem is that the email I am waiting for IS NOT THERE!!!!

AND I wouldn't have to take off work to do it, the best part. I've been going back and forth about whether I actually get paid little enough to take a day off for a free haircut.

You know, my professional career has always been about reducing the amount of paper in the enterprise. Always. It's the raison d'etre of this department. Why, then, do I come in to see a printed out e-mail on my chair with handwriting on it? My boss doesn't sit remotely near my sube. That can't have been the easy answer.

Hey, it's started to rain. That's not right, I was thinking about doing some work on the backyard spaceship after work. Maybe I'll clean the basement instead.

Oh good, I had a hivemind question about dishwashers, and now the subject actually has come up (the plate of shrimp lattice of coincidence strikes again).

Until this February, I've never really had a dishwasher before. Somehow, I got it in my head that you are not supposed to clean non-stick pots and pans in one. Is that correct, or have I just been making extra work for myself for 4 months?

I know a good stainless steel pan I got recommends against it, and I KNOW you never wash cast iron that way, but I'm wondering if I made up the non-stick thing in my head.

If it's an anodized metal sort of non-stick, definitely don't put it in the dishwasher. The detergent reacts with the coating. Laminates, I'm not sure.

Are these two types easy to tell apart, because I was either given or inherited all the non-stick stuff I have, and I'm not sure which kind it is.

I called again. email has not been sent, it is not lost. can relax. still not patient. radio on. data entry to do.
