Last night I made black-eyed peas in the crockpot. Should I take it as a bad omen that they were slightly burnt this morning?
And who BURNS STUFF in a crockpot?
Right. Sir. Honey.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just bought a crockpot, so I'm pretty sure that, given my history with cooking, soon I'll be burning something in it.

So they made the entire tech support staff report for duty as usual today.
Too bad they didn't coordinate this with the people in charge of turning on the phones. The only thing people calling in to the support lines are getting is "Our offices are closed today."
High-level discussions are under way on whether to turn on the phones or to send us home.
Eventually I will wake up enough to care.

Good Lord, connie. I hope they pay you for the holiday time, regardless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What Theodosia said, for sure. That's classic.

But they are nigh impossible to burn things! except for me last night. damn.
it's cold in the house today and really, I'd prefer a souffle. Which i might go have.

I hear someone's managed to tap into a feed for the sports channels downstairs. Which would play very nicely on our wide-screen flat panel monitors. I knew I should have brought in my Buffy DVDs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, is this the year of some magical animal that gives us pork chops, bacon, sausages, and ham?

I've burned stuff in the crock pot. To be fair, it was really old, so I blame shoddy technology.
Year of Pork? Now I wish I still had those pancake-sausage crack sticks. But I did buy bacon yesterday for the first time in yonks. I want to make brunch for me and my sister (bellinis and pumpkin pancakes, yum!) but that's kind of contingent on her getting her ass out of bed and on the road.

Tommy, next time you'll be saying there's a fairy who flies around a gives you money for lost teeth.
But I know it's hard to give up the belief in the Magical Bacon/Sausage/Ham Beast.
