I remember in college one of the guys, who'd grown up in Sweden, was completely boggled and disgusted at the idea of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Yeah, we did not have peanut butter in the house when I was a kid because my mother could not stand the smell. It definitely fell into the "nasty things Americans like" category. Root beer (and soda in general) was also on that list.
Now that I can't have caffeine after lunch, chocolate and peanut butter is pretty much out, although it is tasty. Of course, that's because I love peanut butter, despite never having it growing up. Chocolate is only worth it to me if it's good chocolate.
My Lexis seems to be working, Perkins.
Yeah, it seems to be a firm thing.
Ugh. We had a few layoffs yesterday, which kind of sucked, but then we had one more today (she was out yesterday), and now I'm upset. Both of our general office staff people got laid off, and I understand why (they will hire one person who makes more sense), but I just feel terrible about the receptionist. She wasn't making any money anyway, and has two little kids, and I don't know that her husband is working. Bah.
In related news, I could use some chocolate, with or without peanut butter.
Wait, you laid off two people and will hire one to replace them? You couldn't just lay off one of the people and have the leftover one do both jobs?
No, they need someone with different skills than either of the current (I mean previous) people.
oh my ... scarier than Clovis and his EBA
Peanut butter + chocolate = love
Though I like nuts, I hate them in chocolate (also hate them in cookies). I think I've been clear on my pure love of olives (I called them "eyelids" when I was a kid - my love began early).
