89 quirkyalone. But I only go to bars to meet people I already know.

Am sick, but on the upswing.

I've only sent food back to have it cooked more. I'm usually OK with what I get. There was a chicken marsala once that I thought was too salty, and I love salt, so it probably was oversalted. ita probably would've gone into shock after one bite. I could've sent that one back, I guess. I haven't ever gotten a bad bottle of wine, though I have ordered some I didn't like much. My bad.

Why don't you ask them for a copy of the bills?

I will, but in the meantime i am sending in the cc receipt as a hold placer.

Jessica, I am hoping to start the new year off sending in recepipts a few at a time. Much less headache.

Overly greasy, overly salty, overly sweet

These, to me, are all be matters of taste. One person's too salty may be another's bland. I don't think they fall into easy categories of "badly prepared" vs "not to my taste."

Apparently I can leave, but I just heated up my soup, so I'll eat that first. The IT folk are re-setting something and say they need to shut down stuff. WAH! No internet at work is scary.

It looks like only one person in our department who outranks me is here today.

Hmmm.

So if you kill them you move up in rank then, right?

I didn't mean that the thread should be killed.

He just left.

Now, surely, if I always leave early, I can leave even earlier today? This is prompted in large part by me working through lunch, and, well, I'm lazy and headachey and have nothing to do.

I am officially the last person on the floor. I'm waiting for one (nonwork but using work equipment) thing to finish encoding, and then I am GONE.

Alas for no early release here. At least I have vaguely interesting work to do for the rest of the afternoon.

So I get Monday off. I totally did not know.
