oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

make the reservations ( fast)

write up the invoice process and the check it by processing the invoices

any time you need a break call a vendor.

I knw that is only part of your list, and I don't know what is important -- but it breaks part of it down in a related looking way -- which you can ignore

...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala

flea I just have to commiserate. I just started a new job with an organization that is bureaucratic and slow moving. I'm in my third week and I still have no phone, v/m, no access to the sytems I'll be working with, and it will take four weeks to obtain the licenses for software I'll need to do my job.

There's only so much reading of procedural documents and the slow trickle of emails that can keep me entertained. The day crawls by and it's wreaking havoc with my self esteem and mood.

Re smoked salmon vodka:

Once the fish is smoked, the skin is removed and employees masticate the fillets.

Doesn't that sound like the employees chew the fish and spit it out?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Like they chew it, at any rate. The word they were looking for is "macerate", which is fancy-ass-latinate for "I'm pointing and laughing at you, dumbasses".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

But macerate is for fruit...

Because books.

Merriam-Webster says:

1 : to grind or crush (food) with or as if with the teeth : chew
