And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I realized this morning that maybe our boss should have avoided mentioning upcoming raises just before a payday that's technically the third in a month, and therefore doesn't get the usual $5 insurance plan deduction. My immediate reaction was "Wow, all this just for me? You shouldn't have..."

Today's going so much better than yesterday. I was early to work for a change, I have actual work to do, I totally forgot today was free lunch day, and I am now noshing on Chicago-style pizza.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I love old tech stuff like this: [link]
This is just gorjus.
It is “an astronomical compendium, signed by Humfrey Cole, made in 1568 for the Elizabethan printer and publisher Richard Jugge. … The compendium includes a quadrant, room for drawing instruments, a compass, a universal equinoctial sundial, a table of latitudes of towns and an incomplete calendar.”
There are 519 other medieval scientific instruments on this compendium site, all of wondrous intricacy. There is even a sundial built inside a chalice.
This instrument comes from The Museum of the History of Science - the Ashmolean in Oxford.
One blog called it a "15th Century Palm Pilot."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats on the job, Kalshane!

Ain't that the truth, though.

shrift, have you had any Chicago-style thin crust since you've arrived here? I personally think it's much better than the thick crust pie, and completely different than thin crust elsewhere in the country--more sauce and cheese, so much that it comes off with your first bite of the slice, a definite preference for sausage (pronounced "saaas-age") over pepperoni, a cracker-like crust with a bit of chewiness, and cut into small squares as opposed to wedges. Some poor souls think that New York thin crust is the best, but I'd put Chicago thin crust up against their foldable slices any day!

I don't like square bits of pizza, I like a crust that I can hold on to and keep my fingers relatively clean.
Is the sauce on the sweet end or the garlicky end of the spectrum?

It's usually a tad sweeter than most, but can vary from place to place. My SIL, a NJ girl born and raised and the lifelong employee (and daughter of a previous owner) of a prominent Princeton pizzeria (Conte's, if anyone is familiar with it), tried some at my favorite pizzeria (Armand's in Elmwood Park and a few other locations, including just down the street from my new apartment--yay!) a few years back, and thought the sauce was very good; in fact, she said her father would have loved it, and he was very picky about his pizza sauce!
