Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Still no action on the job front, although I upped my alcohol request from Racer 5 (great locally-brewed IPA) to an old bottle of Oban. Given the stress this is causing me, I don't see it's too much to ask from the guys who fucked up the process.
I have six workdays left and they still don't know what to do with me. Joy.
And my cubicle is overflowing with paper: reports I need to review, crap I need to draft, stuff to file. Can I hire an elf to come deal with this all for me?
I can haz network access at the job!
I still don't have remote access, but I *can* now get to the tools, check content out, and work on it. This is a big step forward, let me tell you.

Jesse, do you promote stuff to the queue out of order? Or delete some submissions? Or do I just have a spotty memory?
Here's a great thing about eating food that makes you feel good:
I love that! So sensible.

Oooh, I like her.
She's like the Bart Simpson of food!
If it feels good, eat it!
I love that! So sensible.
Hmmm. I don't know. I like it in theory. I love the message. But I think she's coming at it from a fairly distinct perspective (nutritionist, highly attentive to effects of different foods) and also making the word "want" do some somersaults to make it work.
She says this:
And I can only figure that when I say, “Eat food. Stuff you like. As much as you want,” what people actually hear is:
“Eat food that makes you feel like crap, in crappy amounts
And I agree that it's kind of skewed. But I have trouble squaring this:
I eat, without reservation, basically whatever I want.
I like the taste of Coca-Cola a lot. But it also makes me feel thirsty and a little weird sometimes, so I drink it occasionally, along with food, and often along with plain water and lots of ice.
That's not "without reservation" by any definition that makes sense to me. It's with a perfectly reasonable reservation, and one that may in fact make you happier in the long run.
I think the way Jesse described it (eat food that makes you feel good) makes a lot more sense than the kind of awkward framing from the post.
Well, it seemed sensible for me, is what I mean.
