I hate that shit. My only consolation at the moment is that I can leave it all until Monday.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

“Not dead yet!”
Both of my children are now done with school until Monday. Which is good. I think we all need the break.
Poor Lewis however. Black Friday looms and with it, a six or seven AM opening time. They're lucky though-- it's one of the few retail business that's not expecting any kind of downturn this holiday season.

I am so busy that I just had to have a "what are my priorities?" chat. Blargh.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Priority chats are of the good, though -- it lets managers do what they're best at, which is negotiating with the other managers/departments as to what is going to be done and when.
I remember having a job. On the whole it seems like it was a good time....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Looking for some culinary assistance. When I was in Philly, one of my favourite lunch spots was Monk's. Their particular glory was the fries - well, not the fries themselves, but this fantastic bourbon mayonnaise they served with it. (There were a couple of other restaurants in and around town, notably Nodding Head, who also offered this condiment.)
So now I'm home, and the bourbon mayonnaise concept is not such a thing around here. I've been looking for a recipe online, with no success. (Plenty of reference's to Monk's, though.) Does anyone have a good recipe for bourbon mayo?

bt, this [link] sounds like the descriptions of the sauce.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oof. That's it! They're gone! I get a five-day vacation and I have an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner from our building trades teacher. Now if I can just clean off my desk and make a shopping list, I can be OUTA HERE.
Yay, Emily! I hope you're gone by now.
I just finished entering grades and clearing off my desk. Now, I'm outta here, too! (well, my here, not your here, but you get the idea!)

Thanks Ginger. I won't bother with the tabasco sauce, but I'll give it a try.
