Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Suggestions?

Chili? non-deep fried Chinese food.

Is it tacky of me to want to start a pool about how long the new reference person in NY lasts?

Roast chicken? You can vary the sides, roast beans or something with it, convert to chicken soup when the carcass is picked over.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Well, this is my company's 40-year anniversary, so they've been doing something right.

Cool. I bet it isn't because of organizational boundaries.

Lee: Yes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey - Gus is here. What have you been up to?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

oooh, I have a roast chicken in the fridge to be converted to matzo ball soup.

I like the idea of chinese. Maybe lo-mein with lots of veggies. Lee knows what's for dinner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need to roast a chicken. Maybe this weekend, maybe not. It's so good!

oh my. 2 people gave notice last week. ANd I just got told that another is giving notice on Monday. All different depts. but we are only an office of 18.

Yikes. Double yikes to brenda.

A different kind of yikes than ita's fangirl, though. Well, not ita's fangirl, but you know who I mean.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have all those departments and it's just me and the SO. We embrace our complexity.

I think having the smell of soup simmering in the background would be very conducive to holed-upness and writing. Just something comforting in that.
