Geez, I guess the danger of having two Buffistas working at the same place is that they can be laid off on the same day. (Though considering we worked for totally different divisions in totally different roles, what are the chances?)
I'm a little more reconciled to my fate now, though I keep tripping over thoughts about the job tasks I have ahead of me next week... none of which I'm now responsible for. But I learned long ago that my career isn't my life (just a part of it) so I can grab down one of the other hats I have hanging around -- writer, craftsperson, fan, daughter, sister, friend and spend more time on that aspect.
Mr. Jane owns a bar?
No, he doesn't own it. A nice lady named Michelle does. He manages it and bartends. Today he was on the basketball court staining tables and tenting the whole back area for a party tomorrow night. You know what? Imma give you guys a tour.
Okay, what the hell, today? Ease up, already!
Cindy, I couldn't tell you the last time I made cake from a box. Five years? Possibly ten.
Hee. That's probably the last time I made a cake from scratch, Consuela. I have so many "helpers" in the kitchen, I found it necessary to simplify the baking if we were going to have fun together.
Sorry, Nutty. wtf is up with this month?
ION - remember those British sailors that Iran seized? Some people were not sure if it was Britain or Iran that was lying (Britain says the sailors were in Iraqi territory, and Iran says they were in Iranian territory.). Anyway, what happened is that Britain gave Iran a way out. They said, "Perhaps you made a mistake - these are the coordinates where the sailors were seized. It's in Iraqi territory."
So then Iran sez, "No, it is you who are mistaken.
These
are the coordinates where we seized your sailors."
So then Britain is like, "Um, those coordinates are
also
in Iraqi territory."
Then Iran goes, "No wait, - it's not
those
coordinates, it's
these
coordinates."
Wankers.
Oh, in other Iranian confrontation news - the US Navy is conducting massive exercises near Iran. Oh, and a Russian paper claims the US will attack Iran on April 6 (IIRC). I kinda' doubt it, given the source....
Damn, y'all. That is of the suckage.
Study Re-evaluates Evolution of Mammals
Now considered to be a "bad idea."
OK, I made up that last part....
The cupcakes are in the oven. I chopped the apples a little finer than I usually do, so it wouldn't be quite as lumpy batter. I ended up with 21. I think that's enough for my office. I suspect that means I can't taste-test one to make sure...
Today was a no-good very bad day for North American Buffistas, but I give thanks that we're all relatively healthy (Nutty's finger notwithstanding).
