scrum and agile, an the other hand, don't exist, not really

I wish my company had gotten this memo.

I know... I feel sort of warm and squooshy inside.

Not unlike the London mascots, I suspect.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As someone who works for a company with a Teletubbies-themed conference room...the London mascots look exactly how I would have expected them to look. They're straight out of the CBeebies lineup.

(Don't get me wrong - they're still creepy as fuck, but not surprisingly so.)

Oh my god you guys. I just had a 10 course tasting menu dinner. I was prepared to throw down, but not quite like that. Definitely the best and most expensive meal I've ever had. And they threw in free marrow!

Was there anything you had that you never thought you'd eat, but loved it? Because my problem whenever I look at the Craige menu is I keep seeing things that make me go "Why would I EVER want to eat that?" But I am a bit of a finicky eater (not a fan of seafood or offal, and a number of vegatables make me gag).

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

Looks from Wikipedia that code blue and red are about the only universal hospital codes, and few seem to have a code for lockdown. UCLA certainly didn't.

Grrr. I'm thinking that if you are out for a class 3 days, you don't telecommute the remaining 2. I'm at the end of my rope here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Was there anything you had that you never thought you'd eat, but loved it?

I did love the marrow, which I was having for the first time. I was less crazy about the sweetbreads, which I was also having for the first time. Other than that, everything was pretty normal, if a wide range. Of the 10 courses, I think 5 were seafood? So that's probably not a good choice for you. There was farfalle with a wild boar ragu that was to die for. The "big" course was lamb three ways, of which I was really only crazy about the regular slice of meat. But I was also fairly full by then! I definitely want to go back and sit at the bar for the burger.

I forgot to mention a couple of things in the hurly burly crazy new schedule of my life:

1) mac DID get his iPod back (I emailed the teachers and they talked to the boys).

2) my new fridge was delivered yesterday and fits great in the space.

3) I have exciting food use to report, but that will have to wait for a minute.
