Drinking in the workplace: The Japanese company, where I spent most of my working for the man years, just before I got there had just cut off its substance consumption policies. Apparently they just quit smoking at their desks and regularly bringing in mass quantities of beer for the parking lot during the work day. Yeah, I have no idea but they were a very successful company.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I wish they would move Chuck. Monday's at 8 has too much good TV already.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My sister has been sending me Haiti stuff from the Caribbean perspective, including official responses from the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency. Just that makes me tear up. I don't know if I have it in me to read any actual news just yet.

Trust my rage
The NYT has this picture on their front page of a pile of bodies, including little children. I know it's news and feel sort of obligated to process it, but I really wish I hadn't seen those images. Or that there had been some warning or something.

I watched some news last night and I had to turn it off. It is too much.
Separately - a while back there was a brief discussion of crock pots and I finally bought a 1.5 qt baby crock pot. I started a pot roast this morning and MAN the house smells fantastic. I can't wait to NOM!!! Megan - thanks for the recipe!
