Buffistas

Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Trust my rage

I mean, I know the timing got screwed up, but it's not like you're malingering.

NPR has been doing these pieces this week on flex schedules. The first one I heard was about 95% about how well it works (generally) when people work from home or on their own schedules. But then it ends with the statement that "most people can't shake the feeling that their employees aren't doing anything if they can't see them." Working from home stresses me out for that reason. I know I'm doing stuff, but I'm sort of anxious to make sure that everyone else sees what I've done so they know I'm not malingering or watching TV in my sweats.

I'm loving Leif's story. Leif is allergic to leaves!

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

Maybe Jaleo? [link]

'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"

I've been on work trips like that. Even if you get out for a couple walks around the block in the morning before breakfast, it's worth it.

One of the favorite walks I had was at a Tucson "resort hotel" where a hotel-employed guide would take you on a half-hour nature walk at 7 AM. Energized me for the rest of the day!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I was thinking Jaleo too, actually. I've been a few times, but it's a classic for a reason, and the idea of sitting and eating myself silly on tapas is very appealing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jose Andres was hilarious on today's Ellen show!

Dana, you could also try Zaytinya, which is mediterranean tapas. We (meaning the buffistas0 used to go there all of the time, until the service went into the crapper. However, I have heard that it has improved.

I work from home frequently and I try to keep a high e-mail presence, without spamming folks. For me it works pretty well because the majority of the people I work with are not in my office anyway, so as long as the work gets done, they don't care where I'm doing it from.

Yesterday I had the top down on the car, today it is supposed to hit 70, and snow is forecast for Saturday.

Is it the same people as Jaleo?

Yesterday I had the top down on the car, today it is supposed to hit 70, and snow is forecast for Saturday.

And tomorrow the high is supposed to be 32. I'm sort of bummed because my parents are coming up to night and I was hoping we could all go for a bike ride.

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

I'm IMing asking "Have they shown up yet? What's happening?" I feel so out of touch. Grrr.
