Am I being too sensitive if I'm getting annoyed that my officemates keep commenting on my food? I just want to eat my lunch, not explain it! Today, one of them asked me what my lunch was today before I even had any food in front of me. And when I answer their questions, it's not like they do anything with the information -- like, if they asked for recipes or something, that would be an actual conversation. But it's just, "What do you have for lunch?" "Salad, cherries, and an apple." "OK." Every single day.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My cat sometimes smells my breath to see what I had for lunch, but that's not every day.

Are allergies kicking anyone else's ass this year? I know they're bad every year, but they are completely knocking me out this year, like 2 hour naps in the afternoon knocked out.

{{Seska and family}} I'm so sorry. It sounds like he is getting the best possible care. Coping ~ma to all.
Hil, it is probably because your lunch is more interesting than theirs.

Yes, sj, allergies are being most unkind to me this year, too. I've been on day-time drugs most of the week, and usually I just blow my nose until I can knock myself out with benedryl at night.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My ass? Is kicked. And fairly thoroughly.
Hil, are they curious about anyone else's lunch? Contemplating the vegan lifestyle? Just hugely annoying?

I haven't noticed whether they're asking about other people's lunches or not. They spend a lot of time talking about going hunting, so probably not contemplating being vegan. Definitely hugely annoying.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Are allergies kicking anyone else's ass this year?
Mine, big time. It's been raining for the past 3 days, and I'm so grateful, because it gets some of the floaty drifty ragweedy stuff out of the air. It doesn't help that we live basically at the base of a ginormous park (seriously -- 1,500 acres) that's one big hill -- all the pollen, etc., from all the flora in the park just floats downhill. TO US.
Ragweed can fuck off and die.

At least I am in good company in the allergy corner. Fuck ragweed!

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?
Fuck ragweed!
Oh dear. It's making my eyes itch. I really don't want my girly bits itching like that, too.
