I feel like I am sort of butting in (and much jomba to you, Trudy).
Trudy- Did you do any training to be a legal secretary? And is it silly to do if you already have a bachelor's (in theatre?) and 6 years of regular secretarying?
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
But somewhere inbetween there, it's "there's mold growing and you just can't see it YET", and so I throw things away.
Me too. Also, food mold is one of the few things that will really gross me out, so if there's something in an opaque container that I've already used at least once and is even a little bit past the sell-by date, I'll take the waste of throwing it out rather than chance opening it and having to see the mold.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I read something years ago that stuck with me, "spoilage" is largely a cultural norm. People in cities used to think meat was greenish.
True, and life expectancies used to be shorter for people than for goldfish.

Because books.

Eeeeeuw. Wasn't that why everything was salted back in the days before Frigidaire?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My bachelors is in theatre! When time came to pick a day job I temped around and realized that law firms paid more and gave more vacation time (which allows me to still do some projects). My first permanant job in a law firm as a receptionist/jr. secretary and then sorta woked my way up. I know askye did a certificate program. I'd say with six years experience you should talk to someone in placement and see how transferrable your skills are.

Very true. But I imagine that meat-borne ickys were more cumulative than 'take a bite and drop dead' or no one would have eaten the stuff at all.

Well, people also used to eat a lot less meat.

Also true, though if one makes a habit of letting meat go bad, that's not necessarily of much comfort. Plus, y'know, you don't have to be dead to experience the regret of unfortunate meat choices.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just for the record, my father-in-law buys frozen ground beef in tubes. It's very disturbing. I like my styrofoam, thank you.
We would get our hamburger that way whenever we payed someone to butcher a cow or a heiffer. We'd end up with this huge freezer completely full of hamburger and steak.
