Hmmm. I've got some Hershey's Special Dark. How do I find out its cacao % ?
eta: Oh, wait, I think I found it in small print on the packaging -- only 45%.

Art Crawl!!!
Lots of the high percentage cacao bars have their percentage in large type on their wrapper.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Home now. Geez. Like I'm supposed to be working late or some bullshit!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
Skipped 700 or so. Wasn't supposed to work tonight, but other night-shifter was exhausted (she only got one day off last week because she was training me) and offered to cover my Friday shift if I covered her tonight, so I actually get both Friday and Saturday night off this week.
Spoke with my boss briefly today. He completely understands my frustration (and says he's getting the impression the other help-deskers are frustrated as well) and wants to get us shifted overly to hourly and onto the new schedules ASAP, but both are still pending approval from the CIO. I'm really not sure what the hourly vs. salary has to do with the CIO, though. I would think it's more of an HR issue, since it has to do with Labor laws.
Haven't had a chance to work on my resume, since I spent the weekend with the girlfriend, expecting to have tonight to work on it. It's definitely my goal for Friday.
ION, the ninja monkeys are still listed on the project plan on the dept white board, though whether it's due to ignorance or amusement, I'm not sure.

And a little browsing tells me that Godiva Dark is 72%. Can't find the info on Toblerone. What are some other good brands?
eta: Finally figured out how to spell Scharffen Berger and find their web site. Their semisweet is 62%, bittersweet is 70%, and unsweetened is 99%.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Green & Black organic is good. They make a bar with orange and spices that is teh yum. I like Valrhona, and it comes in 85%. Stay far, far away from Hachez, though--tastes oily to me.

Swouncing
Skipping and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is billytea's birthday (also Mikal's, whom I haven't seen posting in a little forever).
Happy birthday! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
(And how wonderful is it that billytea's "Beep Me" post from a couple of days ago probably means that he received a really awesome birthday present from, well, the universe, pretty much, including himself?)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(And how wonderful is it that billytea's "Beep Me" post from a couple of days ago probably means that he received a really awesome birthday present from, well, the universe, pretty much, including himself?)It is just the most wonderful thing. I smile every time I think of it. They've earned their happy!
Hi, Nilly.
